Open Source BSD Codec Software

A fast closed captions extractor for MPEG and H264 files. Supports DVD, HDTV transport streams, Replay TV. Use this to create .srt (subtitles) files for your TV captures, have transcripts so you can edit subtitles, etc. This project has moved to its own domain: https://www.ccextractor.org Files in sourceforge are left for archival purposes, but new releases will be available from ccextractor.org.

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.

libsmacker is a cross-platform C library which can be used for decoding Smacker Video files produced by RAD Game Tools. Smacker Video was the king of video middleware in the 1990s, and its 256-color compressed video format was used in over 2600 software titles. Please visit the Project Web site for detailed information.

** Now on Github; https://github.com/aizvorski/h264bitstream ** libh264bitstream provides a complete set of functions to read and write video bitstreams conforming to the ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14496-10 AVC video standard.

Rippy is a script designed to make ripping DVDs easier. It uses mplayer and mencoder to transcode a video to another format. Features: automatic bitrate calculation based on desired target size; automatic crop detection; mp3 audio with resampling;

Fev h264 is a baseline h.264 / MPEG 4 AVC encoder.

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

OpenAVS is the open source implementaion of AVS (Advanced Coding of Audio and Video ). AVS is competing with MPEG-4 and H.264 to replace the current worldwide compression standard, MPEG-2.

AVAR(Audio/Video de Alto Rendimiento) is an Audio and Video mass storage of high performance for brodcast. The new concept of encoding and high availability in data retrieval by possible erros. Not limit sizes on sound and video tracks.

libflv is library to create FLV video streams for use with Flash/SWF movies.

Defa Protector is A Simple PHP and Wordpress Plugin To Protect and Prevent Video Save As From Browser and Some Video Grabber. There is 100% Guaranteed Protection and There might be some tradeoff but If you care about Digital Rights Management of Your Video and Music Content. This Project is for you. Defa Protector 6.7.1 Revamp Code For Better Performance To The Bone. We almost rewritten this project from scratch.

Evk is a simple lossy video codec. Project aims at developing a clean and functional implementation of basic algorithms used in video compression. Next goal is to create a detailed documentation together with tutorial about video compression.

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.

That is an video encoder that implements h264 encoding. Main goal is to provide lite Java h264 implementation for Applets and Client development.

A Java port of XviD.

An implementation of the VP8 image/video codec in pure Java.

Kumaji is an advanced subtitle rendering library aiming for complete cross-platform support, complete and compliant support for all common subtitle formats and, of course, speed. The source code is also intended to be easy to understand and hack at.

LibVideoCoding is a C++ library supporting the development of video codecs. The library comprises support for fast FDCT, IDCT, motion compensation, and reading and writing MPEG-2/4 conform video and system bit-streams.

Libavinterface is a C++ wrapper library for the C video library FFMPEG and the C graphics library SDL. It is designed to be class-based, predominantly for scenarios where non-class data is impossible (eg. the VST SDK). It is designed for mingw/msys.

Open SVC Decoder aims to provide a real-time coding framework for Scalable Video Coding extension of H.264/AVC.This project is AVC/SVC library decoding tools created at the IETR/INSA of Rennes. Please have a look at the project web site for more details

PyramidWorkshop is an image-compression System based upon the scientific work of John Robinson (inventor of BTPC) about image-compression with adaptive linear predictors and is in average more efficient than PNG/JPEG2000.

Implementation of a RLE encoder/decoder library tailored for DICOM image.

TV_ENCODE! is a textual front end for MEncoder which allows the user to record live TV from NTSC, PAL, ATSC (or any future form) to industry standard MPEG-4 Video with MP3 Audio (DivX Compatible). Support for multiple capture sources.

This project implements a Video4Linux compatible API and device drivers for the FreeBSD kernel, so you can run Linux video applications under FreeBSD.

Yet Another set of MEncoder Scripts; a source package of highly configurable, easy to use, and effective scripts for ripping DVD / VCD video (or transcoding other formats) to industry standard MPEG4 video format with MP3 audio (DivX Compatible).
