Not all video software, but stuff I think every personal multimedia workstation should have. 
VirtualDub: www.geocities.com/virtualdub
Linear editor that is EXTREMELY useful.
Blender: www.blender.nl
Full featured 3D program.
AVI_IO: www.nct.ch/multimedia/avi_io/
Very good recording program, but not exactly free. Although can be used free.
HuffYUV: www.math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv.html
Best fast, lossless codec to use while recording if final compression is in MPEG format.
New DivX project: www.projectmayo.com/
Future of MPEG 4 compression.
CDex: www.cdex.n3.net
The best CD ripping program out there that uses the best MP3 encoder. Also converts MP3s -> RIFF or WAV.
