FFmpeg

FFmpeg is the project that hosts the libavcodec codec library, a decoder/encoder codec-suit that forms the basis of most free and open source software multimedia programs. The FFmmpeg project aims to support all popular and less known codec formats and it is closer to that goal than any other (commercial or open source) program or library

FFmpeg also contains libavformat, a library for multimedia container formats and libpostproc for postprocessing. ffplay is a simple media player that uses libavcodec and libavformat. ffmpeg is a transcoding application library.
