GEntrans is a collection of plug-ins and tools for the GStreamer multimedia framework. It provides a set of GStreamer elements useful in transcoding pipelines and an application to aid in running such pipelines. It also provides a plain and simple though capable and configurable GStreamer based multimedia player.
BlenderAVC allows footage from an AVC and HDV camcorder to be pulled into Blender3D (Sequence Editor) without transcoding by generating AviSynth scripts. It also batch-generates proxy images to make it easier to edit the footage on older machines.
