The v4l-utils provide a series of libraries and utilities to be used for realtime video capture via Linux-specific APIs.

SVT-AV1 is an AV1 codec implementation. The encoder is a work-in-progress, aiming to support video-on-demand and live streaming applications with high performance requirements. It mainly targets Intel-compatible CPUs (x86), but has limited support for other architectures.

This code forms a set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming, using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP, RTSP, SIP). The libraries can be used to stream, receive, and process MPEG, H.265, H.264, H.263+, DV or JPEG video, and several audio codecs. They can easily be extended to support additional (audio and/or video) codecs, and can also be used to build basic RTSP or SIP clients and servers.

This is a small command line utility used to perform frequency scans for DVB and ATSC transmissions without initial tuning data. It can print the result in several formats:

• VDR channels.conf,

• czap/tzap/xine/mplayer channels.conf,

• Gstreamer dvbsrc plugin,

• VLC xspf playlist,

• XML,

• initial tuning data for scan or dvbv5-scan.

This package provides an MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification) plugin for the mpv media player. It implements org.mpris.MediaPlayer2 and org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player D-Bus interfaces.

To load this plugin, specify the following option when starting mpv: --script $GUIX_PROFILE/lib/mpris.so or link it into $HOME/.config/mpv/scripts.

This package provides the GameStream code shared between Moonlight clients.

Libmms is a library for streaming media files using the mmst and mmsh protocols.

Open Broadcaster Software provides a graphical interface for video recording and live streaming. OBS supports capturing audio and video from many input sources such as webcams, X11 (for screencasting), PulseAudio, and JACK.

This OBS plugin lets you record an OpenGL or Vulkan game by adding the Game Capture source to your scene and starting an application with obs-gamecapture.

libbdplus is a library which implements the BD+ System specifications.

VDPAU is the Video Decode and Presentation API for UNIX. It provides an interface to video decode acceleration and presentation hardware present in modern GPUs.

Avidemux is a video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.

SimpleScreenRecorder is an easy to use screen recorder with a graphical user interface. It supports recording the entire screen, or a part of it, and allows encoding in many different codecs and file formats. Other features include a live preview and live streaming.

qtfaststart enables streaming and pseudo-streaming of QuickTime and MP4 files by moving metadata and offset information to the beginning of the file. It can also print some useful information about the structure of the file. This program is based on qt-faststart.c from the FFmpeg project, which is released into the public domain, as well as ISO 14496-12:2005 (the official spec for MP4), which can be obtained from the ISO or found online.

OpenShot Library (libopenshot) is a powerful C++ video editing library with a multi-threaded and feature rich video editing API. It includes bindings for Python, Ruby, and other languages.

This package provides an OBS plugin for copy and paste scenes, sources and filters.

x265 is a H.265 / HEVC video encoder application library, designed to encode video or images into an H.265 / HEVC encoded bitstream.

VLC is a cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols.

Xvid is an MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) video codec library. It uses ASP features such as b-frames, global and quarter pixel motion compensation, lumi masking, trellis quantization, and H.263, MPEG and custom quantization matrices.

Subdl is a command-line tool for downloading subtitles from opensubtitles.org. By default, it will search for English subtitles, display the results, download the highest-rated result in the requested language and save it to the appropriate filename.

This OBS plugin allows a Looking Glass video feed to OBS as a video source with the included OBS plugin. This provides a lower-latency alternative to capturing the Looking Glass client window with a Screen or Window Capture source.

This may help improve your viewers watching experience, and allows you to use your host privately.

OpenTimelineIO is an interchange format and API for editorial cut information. OTIO contains information about the order and length of cuts and references to external media. It is not however, a container format for media.

For integration with applications, the core OTIO library is implemented in C++ and provides an in-memory data model, as well as library functions for interpreting, manipulating, and serializing that data model. Within the core is a dependency-less library for dealing strictly with time, opentime.

Gaupol supports multiple subtitle file formats and provides means of creating subtitles, editing texts and timing subtitles to match video. The user interface features a builtin video player and is designed with attention to convenience of translating and batch processing of multiple documents.

Youtube-viewer searches and plays YouTube videos in a native player. It comes with various search options; it can search for videos, playlists and/or channels. The videos are streamed directly in a selected video player at the best resolution (customizable) and with closed-captions (if available). Both command-line and GTK2 interface are available.
