An easy DVD ripper and DIVX four-pass encoder for the GNOME desktop. GUI for mencoder, lsdvd and vobcopy. (Sencillísimo ripeador de DVDs y compresor a DIVX de 4 pasadas. Interfaz gráfica para mencoder, lsdvd y vobcopy)

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.

BlackLight is a Linux program for managing content on the Sony Drag 'n' Drop Walkman (featuring video encoding!) through wired connection.

MythNight is a cross-platform ISO MPEG-4 Encoder GUI written in Python, using the wxWidgets GUI Library. It currently supports MPEG-4 AVC (x264). This project is in constant development, so any suggestion would be gratefully received.

Simple video encoder is GUI for ffmpeg designed to encode video files. The application is designed so that the process of starting the encoding of one or more videofiles takes 2-3 clicks.

Mediarelayer is a simple proxy server relaying/mirroring streaming media. It can import ASF-encapsulated streams from Windows Media Encoder, VLC media player, etc.

viDrop is free video transcoding software for GNU/Linux and Windows operating systems. With its help you can easily convert your favourite movies or videos into format, playable on your Smarthone, Tablet, MID, Portable Media Player etc.
