A complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles, and related metadata. Provides an implementation of a wider range of codecs. Implements streaming protocols, container formats, and basic I/O access. Includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions. Provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters. Provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices. Implements audio mixing and resampling routines. Implements color conversion and scaling routines. FFmpeg is a command-line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content. ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player. FFmpeg codebase is mainly LGPL-licensed with optional components licensed under GPL.

Run "YouTubeVideoTranscoder"

x264 on win32 w/ DirecShow input and fully variable-framerate support.

An open source JPEG codec library optimized for embedded system, including both encoder and decoder. Compact, optimized for specific hardware, easy to be ported to various embedded OS, ESL tools like Handel-C, multi-processor systems and FPGA.

Optimized H.264 baseline codec for PC and TI DSP DM6437.SFIPExe is TI DSP DM6437 based video/audio/command/sensor interface for IP address activities controlling. Information available at: http://www.smallfishdev.com. "SFIPExe" Video availabe in YouTub

seek-h262 is a free and portable MPEG decoder.

Acinerella is a small library that wraps around the base playback functionality of FFMpeg. This allows you to use FFMpeg in a very simple way with other programming languages than C.

DBV is a lossy video codec based on wavelets and MSPIHT algorithm. It consists of core library, Video for Windows driver and DirectShow filter.

EvilEncoding is a software for parallel video encoding. You can encode one movie parallel on multiple computers. So you would have an enormous performance boost. As encoding engine mencoder will be fully featured used.

This codec was developed for the purpose of bachelor's thesis on Faculty of Information Technology, Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic. Project is under LGPL licence. You can use this codec e.g. for screen recording via CamStudio. Records can be directly imported in Vegas Pro/Movie Studio.

Implements Lazy Wavelet Transform with Lifting in several variants: 1-D, 2-D, 3-D, integer precision, etc. Sample video compressor, integrated with FFmpeg. OpenCL version is created.

This program receives MPEG-2 transport streams from an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) bus according to IEC 61883-4. It can decode one audio and video stream and present them on the local sound card and on the local display.

MPlayer with all essential codes, encoders, decoders & filters. For LINUX users: just extract the source & run the 'install.sh' file from Terminal. For Windows users: Not Tested yet, but hope to work on MINGW32 in WinXP. Thanks from Chinmoy & Srijon
