Gallery-dl is a command-line program that downloads image galleries and collections from several image hosting sites. While this package can use yt-dlp packages to download videos, the focus is more on images and image hosting sites.

FFmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes the libavcodec audio/video codec library.

MediaSDK provides a plain C API to access hardware-accelerated video decode, encode and filtering on Intel's Gen graphics hardware platforms.

recordMyDesktop is a command-line tool that captures the activity in your graphical desktop and encodes it as a video. This is a useful tool for making screencasts.

Gavl is short for Gmerlin Audio Video Library. It is a low level library, upon which multimedia APIs can be built. Gavl handles all the details of audio and video formats like colorspaces, sample rates, multichannel configurations, etc. It provides standardized definitions for those formats as well as container structures for carrying audio samples or video images inside an application.

In addition, it handles the sometimes ugly task of converting between all these formats and provides some elementary operations (copying, scaling, alpha blending etc).

Wlstream is a screen capture tool for recording audio and video from a Wayland session.

This package provides tools to search for YouTube videos, channels and playlists; as well as getting video metadata from links. This package does not rely on the YouTube Data API v3.

Syncplay is a solution to synchronize video playback across multiple instances of media players over the Internet. When one person pauses/unpauses playback or skips to a position in the video, this is replicated across all media players connected to the same server and in the same "room" (viewing session). A built-in text chat for discussing the synced media is also included for convenience.

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

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.

libdca is a library for decoding DTS Coherent Acoustics streams.

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.

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 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.

dav1d is a new AV1 cross-platform decoder, and focused on speed and correctness.

This plugin adds 3 sources for capturing audio outputs, inputs and applications using PipeWire.

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

mpv is a general-purpose audio and video player. It is a fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer. It shares some features with the former projects while introducing many more.

GTK+ UVC Viewer (guvcview) is a graphical application to control a webcam accessible with Video4Linux (V4L2) and to capture videos and images. It provides control over precise settings of the webcam such as exposure, brightness, contrast, and frame rate.

Shotcut is a video editor built on the MLT framework. Features include a wide range of formats through ffmpeg, 4k resolution support, webcam and audio capture, network stream playback, and many more.
