- K9Copy (rip or burn DVDs, create images, copy audio and subtitle tracks, and preserve original menus)
- GIMP (a paint and drawing tool, a photo retoucher, and a batch processing and conversion tool, all in one, with sophisticated features like layers, filters, and effects)
- VLC (an amazing player, supporting a staggering collection of supported media formats, including Audio, Video and Flash)
- Totem (will also play a large assortment of audio and video formats)
- MPlayer (a highly versatile media player for Linux, with a very good support of audio and video formats, it will play most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, and PVA files, VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, and even WMV movies)
