By default, mps-youtube is basically a YouTube audio player (and downloader), but you can enable external video playback (via mpv or MPlayer) from its options:

• search and play audio / video from YouTube;
• search tracks of albums by album title;
• search and import YouTube playlists;
• create and save local playlists;
• download audio / video from YouTube, with support for DASH (so it can mux separate audio and video streams - that means it can download 1080p YouTube videos since all 1080p YouTube videos use DASH);
• view video comments;
• works under Linux, Windows and Mac OSX;
• many other small but useful features.

• auto detect terminal size;
• transcode audio to mp3 and other formats (requires ffmpeg or avconv);
• added "da" (download best available audio file) and "dv" (download best available video file) commands to playlist search results;
• added options to download YouTube playlists (use "dapl" for audio and "dvpl" for video) by url or id;
• the progress indicator now works with mpv;
• added option to show system notifications (on Ubuntu, install "libnotify-bin" and enable notifications using "set notifier notify-send");
• Added overwrite true/false option for downloads (skips download if downloaded file already exists);
• added copy to clipboard feature (requires "xclip" from the repositories and "xerox" which you can install via python-pip);
• remux audio downloads for better file compatibility.

HandBrake, a free, open source video transcoder for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X, has been updated to version 0.10.0, getting support for new encoders, like H.265 and VP8, along other interesting changes.

• for input sources, HandBrake supports most common multimedia files and any DVD or BluRay sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection;
• supported outputs:
• file containers: MP4 (M4V) and MKV;
• video encoders: H.264 (x264), H.265 (x265) MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 (libav), VP8 (libvpx) and Theora (libtheora);
• audio encoders: AAC,, MP3, Flac, AC3 and Vorbis;
• device presets;
• title / chapter selection;
• chapter markers;
• queue up multiple encoding jobs;
• subtitles support (VobSub, Closed Captions CEA-608, SSA, SRT);
• constant quality or average bitrate video encoding;
• video filters: deinterlacing, decomb, denoise, detelecine, deblock, grayscale, cropping and scaling;
• live video preview;
• comes with graphical and command line interfaces.

• Libavformat is now used for muxing instead of mp4v2 and libmkv;
• added FDK AAC encoder for Windows and Linux as a optional compile-time option;
• added support for H.265 through x265 1.4 (this encoder is still early in it's development, so is missing many H.265 features and optimizations);
• added VP8 encoder (using libvpx);
• added Lanczos scaler, which is currently HandBrake's default;
• added Bicubic (OpenCL) scaler - requires an AMD or Intel GPU supporting OpenCL 1.1 or later. On Linux, this is only available on the command line for now;
• denoise: hqdn3d filter now accepts individual settings for both chroma channels (Cr, Cb);
• denoise: new NlMeans filter which offers much higher quality denoising (though it is very slow);
• added Windows Phone 8 preset;
• updated libraries: x264 r2479-dd79a61, Libav v10.1 and libbluray 0.5.0;
• the audio and subtitle controls have been overhauled to support default behaviors which can be stored in presets. This simplifies the workflow for many batch encoding scenarios;
• Libfaac has been removed due to GPL compatibility issues, and replaced with the libav AAC encoder as the new default for Windows and Linux;
• removed mcdeint deinterlace and decomb modes. This relied on the snow encoder in libav which has been was removed by upstream;
• Linux only: automatic audio and subtitle track selection behaviors which can be stored per preset;
• Linux only: improvements to Auto-Naming feature;
• Linux only: Batch Add to queue by list selection;
• Linux only: requires GTK3.

"The plugin itself does not work standalone and instead just offers DRM capabilities to the normal Flash plugin. While the Widevine plugin itself does all DRM related stuff like key exchange and decryption, the rendering is still done by the normal Flash plugin. Pipelight allows you to combine Widevine with either Windows, Linux or Pepper Flash."

cp /usr/share/pipelight/pipelight ~/.config/pipelight
gedit ~/.config/pipelight

"Now, if you want a 480p video in H.264 format, High profile, with 128kbps AAC audio (this used to be Youtube's format 35), you can specify format -f 135+140 on the command-line and it will download both the audio, the video and multiplex it with ffmpeg (or avconv, depending on what you have installed)."

Transmageddon 1.0 (video transcoder and now, DVD ripper)

• support files with multiple audio streams, allowing you to transcode them to different codecs or drop them from the new file;
• DVD ripping support. So know you can use your movie DVDs as input in Transmageddon, be aware though that you need to install things like lsdvd and the GStreamer dvdread plugin from gst-plugins-ugly for it to become available. And you probably also want libdvdcss installed to be able to transcode most movie DVDs;
• another small feature of the release is that you can now set language information on files with one audio stream inside. If you rip a DVD with multiple audio streams, Transmageddon will preserve the existing audio information, so in that case you shouldn’t need to set the language metadata manually;
• VP9 support.
