AMVapp - All the stuff you can't do without when using DVD footage AdvancedAVS Pack - All the stuff you can't do without when filtering with AVIsynth. Virtualdub - The best avi capture and compression program there is. TMPGEnc - The best MPEG1 compressor there is, also very good at MPEG2 compression. XviD - An excellent open-source mpeg4 codec. AVIsynth - Awesome virtual avi manipulation program, contained in the AMVapp but also available form here. Exact Audio Copy - The best tool for extracting audio from CDs Smartripper - My favourite DVD ripping program. DVDDecrypter - Another excellent DVD ripping program, more recently updated.
LameMP3 - The best mp3 implementation around. TooLAME - The best mp2 implementation around :) BeSweet and the BeSweet GUI - Brilliant AC3/MP3/WAV decoder/encoder. Audacity - Open source WAV editor. CinemaCraft Encoder - Excellent but buggy and expensive MPEG1/2 encoder. BitrateViewer - Handy tool for finding out information about DVD streams. Ogg Vorbis - Superb audio compression tool, not recommended for amvs due to lack of coverage.
DivX5 - Not recommended as a compression codec, but handy for playback :) ffdshow - excellent all-in-one movie decoder that handles every avi mpeg4 implementation you can think of ZoomPlayer - feature-packed alternative to Windows Media Player BSPlayer - another good media player alternative
