Derivations and thumbnails are created with mplayer and ffmpeg running on linux.

Just look at one of the logfiles to see the exact commandlines used to carry out the tasks. Like the previous poster said, mplayer and ffmpeg are used extensively. But the deriver also uses FAAC to encode the AAC audio, MP4Creator to multiplex the MP4 files, and convert (part of ImageMagick) to generate the animated GIFs.
