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.

** 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.

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.

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

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.

Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Installers for FFMpeg 32 and 64 bit. Shared libraries built by zeranoe.com, installers built by us. Script source in the SVN, library source at http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/ and http://www.ffmpeg.org.

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

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.

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.

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.
