Transcode is a free audio/video transcoder with a command-line interface for Unix-like operating systems. It uses FFmpeg's libavcodec library, and supports numerous formats (such as DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264 [cite mailing list |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/transcode-users@exit1.org/msg01582.html |title=Re: transcode-users H.264? |date=2008-04-12 |accessdate=2008-07-12 |mailinglist=transcode-users |last=Romani |first=Francesco |authorlink= ] , as well as all the formats supported by libavcodec). It also includes a variety of pre/post filters for denoising, deinterlacing, smoothing, sharpening, etc. As for container formats, transcode was desgined around AVI, and support for output to more modern container formats is still limited. For example, current versions of transcode do not support multiplexing into the popular MP4 container format; external tools must be used instead. [cite mailing list |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/transcode-users@exit1.org/msg01602.html |title=Re: transcode-users H.264 & MP4 |date=2008-06-15 |accessdate=2008-07-12 |mailinglist=transcode-users |last=Church |first=Andres |authorlink= ] Besides the main transcoding tool (the transcode executable itself), the package also contains a number of tools (avimerge, avisplit, tccat, tcextract etc.) for (de)multiplexing, concatenation, and other similar operations on multimedia files and streams.

Transcode was first released in 2001. It was developed for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. There is no Windows version, and the developers have no plans to create one.
