I believe that FlaskMPEG is open source: http://www.flaskmpeg.net/

Have you had a look at DirectShow from the DirectX SDK?
Or are you talking about a codec api?
(I.e any DirectShow Object is decoded/encoded thru a codec filter, my question is: do you have a codec and want to include this as filter in to your program or do you want to implemnt a codec from an api?)

My need is to create an application-DVD to MPEG/AVI converter.
My beleif is DVD codec is available on the net. If so then is there a directx/another api which has extended this codec into a encoder kind of api.
ex: WMEncoder has api to write an application which converts files of different format into WMFiles.
Same way my application needs to convert dvd files into mpeg files.
Cud this be written using directx api's. But in directx the high-level api has only methods to do high-level op's(open,play,....) for dvd.

thanking you,

DVD movies are mpeg(2) files.In what mpeg format do you want to convert this?Maybe you should have a look at avisynth.There is a dll which can at least open an mpeg and decode the frames.The next step will be, convert this frame into you format and encode again (to your target mpeg format).For this you need an encoder (like CCE or tmpgenc or any other encoder).
Have you tried graphedit for this task?
With DirectShow you can create a filter and connect the pins doing the same.You can plugin your application between an output pin of one filter (say output of dvd mpeg filter) and input of the encoder (or whatever the next step may be).

dragonsf is right , here are some resources for a encoder and a decoder to help you ..
