Transcoder by DeepMedia is an AI-powered video-to-video speech translation engine that enables fully automated multilingual dubbing. Unlike traditional speech translation systems that rely on multi-stage pipelines, Transcoder directly translates one speaker’s video into another language while preserving facial expressions, lip-sync, and vocal identity. Designed for real-time use and production-grade pipelines, Transcoder combines advanced deep learning models with GPU acceleration to deliver high-quality translations across languages. It’s built with researchers and developers in mind, offering tools for testing, evaluating, and deploying AI-driven media localization.

QtlMovie is a graphical frontend to FFmpeg, DVD Author, telxcc, CCExtractor, mkisofs and growisofs. QtlMovie is not a general purpose frontend to FFmpeg, so many of them already exist. QtlMovie focuses on a small number of tasks such as the generation of DVD or iPad movie files from any video file or DVD. The unique feature of QtlMovie is the ability to correctly handle most types of subtitles: DVD, DVB, SRT, SSA/ASS, Teletext, Closed Captions and burn them into the output video in one click.

A free, multiplatform Universal Plug and Play A/V MediaServer (not yet fully UPnP compliant). It supports on-the-fly transcoding from ogg/vorbis, musepack/mpc, FLAC and AAC/MP4 to mp3, mp2, wav or pcm, image conversion/rescaling and video transcoding.

Aeyae Remux can be used to extract portions of original video into a separate file. Aeyae Remux is a GOP-based editor (GOP = Group Of Pictures), which means it doesn't do any transcoding, only remuxing. However, it can truncate a GOP. Aeyae Remux can be used to stitch together files... within reason. Since it is only a remuxer -- stitched files must be of compatible format. This means stitched files must have the same audio/video codecs, and codec properties (width, height, sample rate, etc...). That said... Aeyae Remux currently doesn't check or enforce this restriction, so beware -- garbage input will likely produce garbage output. Linux binaries are provided as AppImage, built on Ubuntu 14.04. 8 GB of RAM (but more is better) is highly recommended if working with source files longer than 2 hours.

The videotrans project is a set of scripts that converts a movie file in any format that mplayer understands (AVI, etc) to a DVD compatible VOB file, including all the necessary conversions. Further, an automatic DVD menu generator is provided.

Professional digital video archiving system solution, developed and used by the Austrian national audio/video archive, designed to handle vast amounts of video content from ingest to long-term storage, including analysis, transcoding and metadata.

This is a simple GUI for the application MP4Box! It can join MP4 (h264) and automatically create chapters for each video. Just drag&drop the videos from your filebrowser to the JavaMP4BoxGui application, and the videos will appear in the list! The source code is included in the Jar file atm! Tested on: - Windows 7 and XP - Ubuntu 13.04 based distros - Mac OSX 10.8 Should work on any that support Java, MP4Box and HandBrake! The OS commands can be tweaked in settings.conf file. PS! I've seen a lot of torrent hit's when you google my apps name. Consider all of them fake and dangerous to download!

Simple Scalable, Parallel, Multi-bitrate Video Transcoding On Centos / Ubuntu / Suse / RedHat (Bash Scripts) Multi-bitrate Video processing requires lots of computing power and time to process full movie. There are different open source video transcoding and processing tools freely available in Linux, like libav-tools, ffmpeg, mencoder, and handbrake. However, none of these tools support PARALLEL computing easily. After some research, I found amazing solution designed & developed by 'Dustin Kirkland' based on Ubuntu JUJU and avconv. But our requirement was little bit diffrent from Dustins's solution. Our requirement was to convert single video in Multi-bitrate and in formats like 3gp, flv and upload them to single or multiple CDN(like Akamai or tata). Also we want to build this solution on top of CentOS and ffmpeg. So I decided to design and develop "Simple Scalable, Parallel, Multi-bitrate Video Transcoding System" by myself.

EZ Transcoder is a wrapper for three pass encoding with mencode designed specifically for for transcoding existing MPEG2 files (such as those captured by a TV Capture card) to DivX/MPEG4 format. It is currently a perl console app.
