If you just go over to howtoforge.com, it gives you a walk through on installing OpenOffice 3.0

The full version just came out sometime recently.  I went up and downloaded the test version and tried it.  I saw some of the artifacts that you showed.  I went ahead and purchased it since it is only $30 instead of the originally announced price of $100.  I fired it up on an AMD X2 4850e and BFG GTX 260OC setup.  The artifacts and watermark were no longer present.  It still is not the super fast encoder that they kept pushing it to be, but it is fast.  To take Indiana Jones 4 (movie only) to iPod Nano setting, it only took 4 1/2 minutes.  Handbrake and CloneDVDMobile take MUCH longer.  It looks great on the Nano screen.  Who knows if there is a difference in image quality difference, the speed difference made me not care.  It does appear to use the one core of the X2 while it converts.
