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.

membrane_core is the foundation of the Membrane multimedia framework for Elixir, providing the abstractions and runtime needed to build real-time audio and video pipelines. It models media processing as a graph of lightweight, supervised OTP processes—elements connected by links—so work is isolated, fault-tolerant, and easy to scale or reconfigure at runtime. The core defines a clear lifecycle and callback API for elements, plus concepts like buffers, events, and capabilities/format negotiation to keep components interoperable and type-safe. Back-pressure, scheduling, and time synchronization are handled by the framework, enabling low-latency streaming and precise playback control without ad-hoc concurrency code. Developers compose pipelines from reusable building blocks and can dynamically add, remove, or switch elements while the system is running.

Multimedia architecture consisting of libraries and applications. Libraries include gavl for low level audio/video support and gmerlin_avdecoder, a multiformat decoding library. Applications include a GUI player with mediatree and a GUI transcoder.

Open source video/audio converter GUI based on FFmpeg (included) Works natively for Windows and Linux (with mono-complete installed) Batch convert audio/video collection to H.264 or H.265 HEVC AAC/MP3, etc. Transcode MKV to MP4 or MP4/M4V to MKV in 1 minute. Rotate video Resize video Extract audio from movie clip Extract specific part of video/audio file Convert various audio files to MP3 or AAC Select audio stream to encode with video Add subtitle stream Easily create conversion tasks Pause/resume encoding queue Play files Record AV streams from Internet (Record tab) FFmpeg command is exposed so FFmpeg command is fully editable 64-bit version is now default. 32 bit and XP version as separate downloads For more details on usage, please check README Short video demonstration: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10812743/103661971-a568b900-4f6f-11eb-8c11-ac92ea41944b.mp4 NOTE: Windows will warn you about security.

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.

EnKoDeur-Mixeur (EKD) is an open source software which makes videos, pictures and audio post-production. It can be also used to convert videos in many formats. It is written in python and use the PyQt4 bindings.

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.

FX Player is a Web-based streaming server with a Flash iTunes-like interface. It shares your MP3 library and allow access to your tracks through the Internet. Coded in Java, FX Player run on most platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows, Linux and Unix.

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!

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.

Tapeless video and audio ingest and transcoding server for television studios and professional environments. Uncompressed SD or HDTV, is captured and real-time encoded into MXF wrapped online & offline editing and review formats e.g. DV50, JPEG 2:1,

This project is a simple GUI wrapper for lsdvd and vobcopy. It allows you to copy DVD vobs to a single vob file, suitable for transcoding to your favourite video format. Check out the wiki for more http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/streamcap

MediaCoder Agent is used to form a distributed transcoder with MediaCoder. It is light-weight, portable and open-source. It receives video frames sent by MediaCoder via TCP, encodes them with the requested video encoder and sends encoded elementary stream back to MediaCoder. There is no disk I/O in this procedure.

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.

This is a frontend to ffmpeg and standard VCD/DVD ripping creation programs written in perl-gtk2. It is designed to enable (as seperate processes) ;VCD/DVD ripping;Any Media-transcoding that ffmpeg supports ;DVD creation
