What is the best Linux software to convert and burn movies?

I use Linux Mint 9 and I’ve been trying to burn downloaded movies in VCD format. I’ve managed to burn a DVD with Brasero and I used K3b to burn a VCD but the picture playback was awful, it was showing in the top right quarter of my screen with what seemed to be a menu on the rest of the screen. I’ve looked at the software settings but to no avail. What software do you suggest for both quality and ease of use? Thanks in advance.

What are some recommended open-source BitTorrent clients for Ubuntu Linux.?

I have just switched to Ubuntu Linux (specifically Linux Mint), and I would like to keep all of my installed applications open source so I may modify them later. I have used BitComet as my main BitTorrent client on Windows and have gotten ridiculous speeds out of it, so any client suggested must be very fast as well.

Multiple suggestions encouraged.

How to delete a Linux partition on hard drive?

I have a PC that is currently dual booting Windows Vista and Linux Mint. I’m not that fond of Linux Mint and want to explore other options. Can I simply delete that volume and put it back with my Windows partition, or do I have to uninstall GRUB loader or anything like that?
