MLT is an open source multimedia framework, designed and developed for
television broadcasting. It provides a toolkit for broadcasters, video
editors, media players, transcoders, web streamers and many more types
of applications. The functionality of the system is provided via an
assortment of ready to use tools, XML authoring components, and an
extensible plug-in based API.

Libav provides cross-platform tools and libraries to convert, manipulate
and stream a wide range of multimedia formats and protocols. It originates
from the FFmpeg codebase, but goes its own way these days, providing its
users with reliable releases and a clear vision how to go forward.
MPlayer is a multimedia player and encoder suite which runs on many
platforms. It plays a terrific number of different file formats
and codecs including popular DivX, XviD, H.264 streams as well as
DVD and SVCDs along with many popular audio codecs.
On the i386 platform it also supports some Windows DLL codec
families which allow playing of e.g. QuickTime movies.
The goals for Open Cinema Tools are:
* Creation of DCP from source files
* Support for multi-reel DCPs with several audio and subtitle tracks
MPlayer-based thumbnail generator for video files.
libde265 is an open source implementation of the h.265 video codec. It is
written from scratch and has a plain C API to enable a simple integration
into other software.
libde265 supports WPP and tile-based multithreading and includes SSE
optimizations. The decoder includes all features of the Main profile
and correctly decodes almost all conformance streams.
The Aegisub Project is a community-driven effort to write the BSDL licensed
cross-platform subtitle editor Aegisub. Composed completely of volunteers
passionate about subtitling, as a project it strives to be open, fair and
most of all: free.

matroska is a project aiming to become the standard of Multimedia
Container Formats one day. It was derived from a similar project
called MCF, but differentiates from that significantly because it
is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language ), a kind of
binary version of XML. This way the development team gains significant
advantages in terms of future format extensability, without breaking
file support in old parsers.
Advanced because it is based on EBML, a kind of XML equivalent,
that allow infinite extensibility of the format. And full featured
because it includes precise seeking, any audio/video/subtitle codec
support including VCM/ACM/DirectShow compatibility, timecode based
format, complex frame dependencies, chaptering, internationalisation,
error protection, tagging, file attachement, control track (to be
defined), menu (to be defined), etc.
All these features are not yet implemented but already defined in
the format.
Kdenlive is a non-linear video editor for GNU/Linux, OS X and FreeBSD,
which supports DV, AVCHD and HDV editing. Kdenlive relies on several
other open source projects, such as FFmpeg, the MLT video framework
and Frei0r effects. It was designed to answer all needs, from basic
video editing to semi-professional work.
