MediaInfo is a library used for retrieving technical information and other metadata about audio or video files. A non-exhaustive list of the information MediaInfo can retrieve from media files include:

• General: title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration...

• Video: codec, aspect, fps, bitrate...

• Audio: codec, sample rate, channels, language, bitrate...

• Text: language of subtitle

• Chapters: number of chapters, list of chapters

MediaInfo supports the following formats:

• Video: MKV, OGM, AVI, DivX, WMV, QuickTime, Real, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DVD (VOB)...

• Video Codecs: DivX, XviD, MSMPEG4, ASP, H.264, AVC...)

• Audio: OGG, MP3, WAV, RA, AC3, DTS, AAC, M4A, AU, AIFF...

• Subtitles: SRT, SSA, ASS, SAMI...

Motion is a program that monitors the video signal from one or more cameras and is able to detect if a significant part of the picture has changed. Or in other words, it can detect motion.

rav1e is an AV1 video encoder. It is designed to eventually cover all use cases, though in its current form it is most suitable for cases where libaom (the reference encoder) is too slow.

Composite Blur Plugin is a comprehensive blur plugin that provides blur algorithms and types for all levels of quality and computational need.

• Composite Blur provides several highly optimized blur algorithms including Gaussian, Multi-Pass Box, Dual Kawase, and Pixelate.

• Composite Blur provides multiple blur effects to give a different look and feel to the blur including Area, Directional, Zoom, Motion, and Tilt-Shift.

• Composite Blur also allows setting a Background Source so that it can properly composite blurred masks, allowing you to properly layer blurred sources.

• Finally, Composite Blur provides an option to mask where and how much blurring occurs on the source via Crop, Rectangle, Circle, Source, and Image masks.

Transcode is a fast, versatile and command-line based audio/video everything to everything converter primarily focused on producing AVI video files with MP3 audio, but also including a program to read all the video and audio streams from a DVD.
