Virtual Dub​

VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.

1) Easy Divx v.0.8.20
http://easydivx.does.it/
EasyDivX is an all-in-one DVD backup program (or graphical user interface for other programs) for personal use ONLY. The backup process of your DVD goes in a numbers of steps. The interface is very simple and easy to understand.

Some day your DVD movie disc may damage simply by a scratch. To avoid this you may want to make a backup copy of your movie. It is not allowed by home DVD players to playback the movie direct to VHS recorder, so the picture and sound will often blink and disappear continuously (the protection is named a Macrovision). The backup copies will not become as high quality as the original video of a DVD disc, but it is near and will some day become a replacer of MPEG-2 video (used in DVD movies). EasyDivX uses DivX codec (MPEG-4 video) to make backups. You need to have the DivX codec and PC to play those backups. There are not many home DVD players that will play DivX movies because of copyright issues. Making a DVD backup is not illegal in all countries.

DivX video is used because it makes relatively High Quality and small filesize. It is possible to store your DVD backup in a single CD-R(W) disc. One DVD movie backup will fit i.e. on a single 80min/700Mb CD-R(W) disc.

The goal is to make a all in one program. Which does all the work in once. To only ask relevant questions to the user. Most of the information needed to choose the right settings can be extracted from the DVD. A child of 8 years should be able to back-up a DVD. We know there is a long way to go, but we will keep on working.
EasyDivX supports:
> Original DVD movies PAL/NTSC (no support for music or mini DVD's).
> DivX codecs from 3.11 to 5.x.x.
> Automatical DVD movie lenght finding.
> Decrypting the DVD and copying it to a hard drive.
> Making of a DivX AVI video file.
> MP3 or AC3 audio.
> 1 or 2 CD's (selectable).
> Video resize, Full resolution, Deinterlacing.
> Audio normalizing
> Setting 30 or 60 keyframes / movie.
> BivX (dual audio on one AVI).
> Subtitle ripping (original VOB format).

2) mp3DirectCut v2.01
http://mpesch3.de1.cc/#mp3dc

mp3DirectCut is a non-destructive audio editor and recorder for MP3. You can directly cut, copy, paste or change the volume with no need to decompress your files into a pcm format. This saves encoding time and preserves the original audio quality, because absolutely nothing must be re-encoded.

The built in recorder lets you create MP3s "on the fly" from every source. Using the Cue sheet support or the pause detection and the split function you can easily divide longer files, e.g. CD images.

mp3DirectCut is very fast and gives you extensive edit functionality:
> MP3 visualisation and VU meter
> Easy navigation
> Fading, volume setting, normalizing
> Pause detection
> Direct recording of MP3 (ACM and Lame encoder supported)
> Layer 2 support
> ID3v1.1 support
> Cue Sheet support
