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.

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.

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.

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.

Dolphin DVR Player is one very easy-to-use powerful but totally free player for DVR videos, NVR Videos, HVR videos and CCTV videos. Dolphin DVR Player is one professional H.264/H.265 video player and can play all H.264/H.265 video files smoothly. Dolphin DVR Player is also one NVR, HVR and CCTV video player, only if the video coding is H.264 or H265, the Dolphin DVR Player can detect the video coding type automatically.

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

Advanced shell script for encoding DVDs, Blu-rays or video files to the H.264 format using the encoding utility MEncoder from the MPlayer project. Supports all the useful options an end-user would need to make a successful encode. The script is a CLI front-end to MEncoder and various audio encoders and container muxers. h264enc is no longer actively developed.
