This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • txproto

    Scriptable multimedia sandbox. Captures, streams and records from a variety of sources.

  • txproto is interesting as well if you need more control over the ffmpeg pipeline than wf-recorder allows: https://github.com/cyanreg/txproto

  • slop

    slop (Select Operation) is an application that queries for a selection from the user and prints the region to stdout. (by naelstrof)

  • Here: https://github.com/naelstrof/slop

  • InfluxDB

  • webp-pixbuf-loader

    WebP Image format GdkPixbuf loader

  • peek

    Simple animated GIF screen recorder with an easy to use interface

  • Peek is a nice frontend for screen recording via FFMpeg. It's billed as an "animated GIF recorder", but it has presets for output as animated GIF, h.264 MP4, VP9 WebM, and APNG.

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • ffmpeg is indeed awesome, but I think you may be mistaken about mpv just being a wrapper for ffmpeg. I'm not a C expert, but when I look at the sauce, https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv , it appears that mpv is doing a great deal of video decoding and not relying on ffmpeg.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
