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

Pipe-Viewer is a lightweight application for searching and playing videos from YouTube. It parses the YouTube website directly and relies on the Invidious instances only as a fallback method.

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.

Scalable Video Technology (SVT) is a software-based video coding technology that is highly optimized for Intel's Xeon processors. Using the SVT-HEVC encoder, it is possible to spread video encoding processing across multiple Intel's Xeon processors to achieve a real advantage of processing efficiency. Note that this package requires the AVX2 instruction, which means it will not work on older x86_64 CPUs such as the Core 2 Duo.

libbluray is a library designed for Blu-Ray Disc playback for media players, like VLC or MPlayer.

The main motivation for VA-API (Video Acceleration API) is to enable hardware accelerated video decode/encode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation etc.) for prevailing coding standards (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and VC-1/VMW3).

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.

libdca is a library for decoding DTS Coherent Acoustics streams.

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.

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.

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.

get_iplayer lists, searches and records BBC iPlayer TV/Radio, BBC Podcast programmes. Other third-party plugins may be available. get_iplayer has three modes: recording a complete programme for later playback, streaming a programme directly to a playback application, such as mplayer; and as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), subscribing to search terms and recording programmes automatically. It can also stream or record live BBC iPlayer output.

OBS Advanced Masks is a project designed to expand the masking functionalities within OBS Studio. This plug-in provides filters for users to create intricate and customized masks for their OBS Scenes and Sources.

• Advanced Masks provides both Alpha Masking and Adjustment Masking.

• Shape masks allow for dynamically generated Rectangle, Circle, Elliptical, Regular Polygon, Star, and Heart shaped masks, with many adjustable parameters.

• Source Masks allow an existing OBS source to be used as a mask, using any combination of the red, green, blue, or alpha channels from said source.

• Image Masks include all of the same functionality as Source Masks, but applied via a static image (.png, .jpeg, etc).

• Gradient Masks allow a fading mask using a user-specified gradient.

liba52 is a library for decoding ATSC A/52 audio streams. The A/52 standard is used in a variety of applications, including digital television and DVD. It is also known as AC-3.

Yle-dl is a command line program for downloading media files from the video streaming services of the Finnish national broadcasting company Yle.

VapourSynth is a C++ library and Python module for video manipulation. It aims to be a modern rewrite of Avisynth, supporting multithreading, generalized colorspaces, per frame properties, and videos with format changes.

Libaom is the reference implementation of AV1. It includes a shared library and encoder and decoder command-line executables.

Lightweight and very quick server to stream MJPEG video from any V4L2 device to the net. All new browsers have native support of this video format, as well as most video players such as mplayer, VLC etc. µStreamer is a part of the PiKVM project designed to stream VGA and HDMI screencast hardware data with the highest resolution and FPS possible.

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.

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.

Libdvdnav is a library for developers of multimedia applications. It allows easy use of sophisticated DVD navigation features such as DVD menus, multiangle playback and even interactive DVD games. All this functionality is provided through a simple API which provides the DVD playback as a single logical stream of blocks, intermitted by special dvdnav events to report certain conditions. The main usage of libdvdnav is a loop regularly calling a function to get the next block, surrounded by additional calls to tell the library of user interaction. The whole DVD virtual machine and internal playback states are completely encapsulated.
