Post underated, lesser known, or rare types of software along with their basic discriptions. Extra points for programs like Jack the ripper and Wireshark. I'll start.
Handbrake: a video encoder program that allows you to change video format, optimize video size, and change video quality. It's very useful for optimizing videos for YouTube and I believe it's open source.

iTerm 2 ?
an excellent terminal emulator for macOS which provides great additional functionality like imgcat
iTerm 2 really enhances productivity in a way most normal (translation: "for stupid normies") programs only hope to do
iTerm 2 is fucking excellent.
Resilio Sync.
Thank me later when you realize you don't need to be dependent on the """botnet""" to do simple backups or synchronize data between different devices.

Nope.
is there a FOSS version of this
why do u have to pay for this
Isn't handbrake just a front end for ffmpeg?
>Isn't handbrake just a front end for ffmpeg?
Yes. OP is a faggot.
no
Yes
Handbrake is good if you do not want a hassle nor being burdened with technical stuff. So you just encode shit and be done with it.
MEGUI another derivative, is good if you need more control over your encodes while retaining a somewhat sensible UI layered on top of its technicalities.
Anyway, the proper way to do it is to use batch scripts.
Houdini is a 3D modeling program that uses snippets of the VEX language to create very complex 3D models and renderings automatically. The VEX language is significantly faster than MEL and python scripting in Maya. It is designed for special effects in hollywood but can be used for everything from automated animations to placing assets in videogames based on parameters. Closed source but supported on Linux.
>Closed source

I don't think rsync is botnet.
>batch scripts
much different from avisynth scripts?
can you use something like qtgmc with 'batch' scripts?
Anything by nirsoft
AVS script is a totally different thing. Batch script is a windows thing (now known as Powershell) to run executables and other OS specific tasks. Just imagine the commands you type into commandline is instead typed and saved into a text file. You click the file and it will run the commands stored inside it.

no
I honestly can't think of a good reason to use Handbrake.
If you want to have full control: Use ffmpeg.
If you want to rip DVDs/Blu-rays: Use MakeMkv.
If you want a GUI for simple edits: Use Avidemux.

It boils my blood knowing I'd waste days away with all sorts of proprietary cuckware cleaning services on Mac, Windows, and Linux during my highschool years when the most comprehensive and powerful program, BleachBit, existed the whole time.
Seriously, I didn't think it was possible for cleaning programs to be remotely decent until discovering this beauty
>what is rsync + cron
streamlink, youtube-dl, ffmpeg, vivaldi, and sharex
life's good
Yes, SyncThing
>can't think of a good reason to use Handbrake
>want to rip DVDs
also for all of you which you seem to skip
ffmpeg is great but has it's issues and is not some magic tool but mostly uses external libraries
>Using three different programs when you could just use one.
Wew lad.
Thanks user.
>rsync + cron
How do I do that if my rsync server requires a password and I don't want to store it in plaintext?
MacOS is underated by Jow Forumstards.
Handbrake is meant for ripping DVDs and Blu-ray. You're better off using FFmpeg for all of that other stuff.
>If you want to rip DVDs/Blu-rays: Use MakeMkv.
MakeMKV isn't free. They only thing it's good for is ripping obfuscated Blu-Rays. I can't think of any other reason why you would want to use it.
Handbrake is just ffmpeg with useless fluff.
>It boils my blood
chill nigga it's a fucking program
are you the same kind of dude who posts "cringe" on random threads?
StaxRip - "StaxRip is a video encoding app for Windows with a unrivaled feature set and usability."
vivaldi browser
everything - instant search tool for windows (voidtools.com)
oh and PatchMyPc
It really is.
It's so comfy to use.
DVDStyler is good free DVD authoring software
You can salt the password.
Handbrake is fine and gives you enough control, just use the advanced tab for x264 encodes if you need it.
bulkfilechanger
allows you to change timestamps of your files on windows.
>If you want to have full control: Use ffmpeg.
>full control
>ffmpeg
if you really are a encoder man doing serious encoding of video be it porno or otherwise you use avisynth and megui or simple x264 launcher or so you person ok hun baka sweet summer child israeli oranges ejaculate pine trees
>implying ffmpeg can't be compiled to accept AviSynth input
>using a GUI for video encoding
>using x264 directly, when you can use it via ffmpeg together with a bunch of other encoders
>They only thing it's good for is ripping obfuscated Blu-Rays
Which is like every single one of them for sale.
