StaxRip
Video encoding GUI for Windows
StaxRip is a powerful, open-source video and audio encoding GUI for Windows that orchestrates industry-standard console tools (such as x265, FFmpeg, mkvmerge) and frame-server systems (like AviSynth+ or VapourSynth) to allow users to transcode, mux, remux, or process media files with fine-grained control. It is not a “one-click” encoder; instead, it grants the user deep control over encoding settings, filtering, resizing, cropping, subtitles, audio processing, container formats, and more — making it a tool of choice for videophiles, enthusiasts, and anyone needing high-quality and customized media output. Because StaxRip automates the invocation of complex command-line tools via a GUI, it lowers the barrier for less technical users while offering advanced configuration for experts. The tool supports batch processing, hardware acceleration (where supported), scripting, and automation through PowerShell or built-in project templates, making it versatile for single-file conversions. -

rav1e
The fastest and safest AV1 encoder
rav1e is an open-source implementation of an encoder for the AV1 video codec, developed in Rust (with some assembly) by the community around Xiph Foundation. Its design philosophy is to start from a correct, minimal, and fast AV1 encoder — sacrificing some encoding speed/efficiency of reference encoders in exchange for simplicity, stability, and compilability across platforms — and then gradually improve. This makes rav1e particularly attractive for scenarios where you need AV1 encoding but care about build-time, portability, and maintenance overhead, or where the full-featured reference encoder might be prohibitively slow. Despite aiming for simplicity, rav1e supports a wide range of AV1 features: different bit depths, chroma subsampling formats, prediction and transform modes, and block partitioning options, which means it can produce reasonably efficient compressed video. -

AV1 AVIF
AV1 Image File Format Specification - ISO-BMFF/HEIF derivative
AV1 AVIF is the official specification and reference design for the AV1 Image File Format (AVIF), defining how AV1-encoded bitstreams are packaged into the HEIF container format (based on ISOBMFF) to produce AVIF files. The project outlines the syntax and semantics required for AVIF compliance, including support for multiple image profiles, color depths, chroma subsampling modes, HDR/WCG, alpha channels, animation/image sequences, and various color-space/bit-depth combinations — making AVIF a versatile, modern image format suitable for both simple photos and advanced imagery needing high fidelity. The specification ensures interoperability across encoders and decoders, providing guidelines so that images created by any compliant AVIF encoder can be reliably decoded by compliant decoders. As adoption grows, AV1 AVIF plays a crucial role in promoting a royalty-free, open, high-efficiency image standard that competes with older formats such as JPEG and newer proprietary ones. -

libavif
Library for encoding and decoding .avif files
libavif is a portable, open-source C library that implements encoding and decoding for the AVIF (AV1 Image File Format), offering a robust, production-ready way to work with AVIF images across platforms. It supports all AV1-supported YUV formats and bit-depths, including alpha (transparency), and includes command-line tools (avifenc and avifdec) to easily convert to/from AVIF from common image formats like JPEG, PNG, or Y4M. The API is straightforward, allowing applications to integrate AVIF support natively — creating, decoding, compressing, or decompressing images programmatically. Recent developments have added experimental support for HDR gain maps, improved color-space handling (including wide color gamut and high bit depth), and better quality tuning modes for encoding, making libavif a cutting-edge tool for high-quality image compression. -
