AV1 AVIF
AV1 Image File Format Specification - ISO-BMFF/HEIF derivative
AV1 AVIF is the official specification and reference design for the AV1 Image File Format (AVIF), defining how AV1-encoded bitstreams are packaged into the HEIF container format (based on ISOBMFF) to produce AVIF files. The project outlines the syntax and semantics required for AVIF compliance, including support for multiple image profiles, color depths, chroma subsampling modes, HDR/WCG, alpha channels, animation/image sequences, and various color-space/bit-depth combinations — making AVIF a versatile, modern image format suitable for both simple photos and advanced imagery needing high fidelity. The specification ensures interoperability across encoders and decoders, providing guidelines so that images created by any compliant AVIF encoder can be reliably decoded by compliant decoders. As adoption grows, AV1 AVIF plays a crucial role in promoting a royalty-free, open, high-efficiency image standard that competes with older formats such as JPEG and newer proprietary ones. -

Lyra
A Very Low-Bitrate Codec for Speech Compression
lyra is a neural audio codec designed to deliver intelligible, natural-sounding speech at extremely low bitrates, making real-time communication viable on constrained networks. It replaces hand-engineered codecs with learned models that capture speech characteristics more efficiently and reconstruct waveforms with a neural vocoder. The system targets mobile-class hardware, balancing latency and quality so it can run in real-time on phones. Its architecture is resilient to packet loss and jitter through framing strategies and error concealment, helping conversations remain understandable under adverse conditions. The codebase includes encoder and decoder components, along with tools for data preparation and evaluation. By pushing bitrates down to just a few kilobits per second while retaining quality, lyra expands access to voice calls where bandwidth is scarce. -

EasyHTML5Video
Create videos for your website that look amazing on any devices
HTML5 is the fastest growing web development trend and HTML5 video as a part of HTML5 becomes the new natural way to show video online. iPad, iPhone, Android, all new browsers declare the support for HTML5 video. It's great, but what is the usual route to create HTML5 video? First you need to find converters and make three versions of your video - .OGG, MP4, WebM. Then, to provide the compatibility with IE and old browsers you add a fallback Flash version of your video with Flash video player. And finally, you extract an image for poster and write batch lines of code to combine all of it... Quite complicated? Forget about it with EasyHTML5Video! All it takes is 3 easy steps to convert any of your video to HTML5: 1. Drag-n-drop video file to Easy HTML5 Video; 2. Set poster image, select codecs, tune settings; 3. Press "Start". As a result you'll get an html page with all necessary code, images, and videos. EasyHTML5Video makes your life easier with HTML5 video! -

FFusion
FFmpeg-based decoded component for Apple QuickTime
This is a revival of the old FFusion QuickTime component, updated through the Perian project and extracted from there by RJVB. It aims to be a decode-only codec leveraging FFmpeg to do the actual work. For now it is based on libavcodec v52, as is Perian; the goal is to port it to use the current libavcodec, and then to build it for win32 QuickTime. In hope it'll improve playback performance for mp4, h264, etc. files. The source is hosted on GitHub, the SourceForge project holds the resulting and required binaries. -
