MediaCoder is a transcoding program for Microsoft Windows. It has been developed by Stanley Huang since 2005.

MediaCoder uses various open source audio and video codecs, among several proprietary codecs and tools to transcode different audio/video formats and has many extra features. Common uses for the program include compression, file type conversion and extraction of audio from video files. Many formats are supported, including MP3, Vorbis, Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Windows Media Audio (WMA), RealAudio, WAV, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-2, Audio Video Interleave (AVI), Video CD and DVD-Video.

MediaCoder is free of charge and is supported by bundling OpenCandy software recommendation service in its installer. There are no ads in the software GUI, although by default a web page containing ads is loaded on every startup. This behavior qualifies the program as adware.

Prior to 2008, MediaCoder was a free and open-source software application and was available on SourceForge.[2] MediaCoder was a nominee of SourceForge.NET 2007 Community Choice Award of Best Project for Multimedia along with Audacity, InkScape and FFDShow.[3] On December 2009 however, Stanley Huang announced that the project is no longer hosted on SourceForge and no longer open-source.[4] Since then, it has become a proprietary adware for which no source code is available.[5][1]

Following these changes, on 10 June 2009, a ticket was opened on FFmpeg's development site, alleging "Possible MediaCoder GPL violation". Although the author of MediaCoder participated in the discussion, the issue is yet to be resolved.[6] Since then MediaCoder was listed on the "Hall of Shame" page on FFmpeg project page that names the projects that violate the (L)GPL.[7]
