A program to present a GUI dialog, that lets a scripter get user input.

I didn't use this for anything notable enough to form an opinion. It seems nice, but I didn't want to have yet another application, especially one with a dependency, when there's something commandline already (dialog).

I don't really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.

Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.

Good for transcoding.

I use avidemux_gtk
- there is also avidemux2_cli

Chocolatey: vlc

The king of video players.

On Windows, this is especially-king because the user doesn't have to figure out and download various shady codecs.

Properly titled VLC media player.
Alternative, on Windows 10, for audio: Audacious
VLC alternate audio track from a separate file
Can play various Oldschool music formats.

Chocolatey: gimp
http://www.gimp.org/

An incredibly capable (and therefore very convoluted) image editor.

I use this:

For converting .svg files to .jpg or .png
(On Windows For editing .png files which have transparency, since mspaint.exe can't do that.
For importing a page from a PDF, as an image.
For transparent backgrounds
For transparent masking
