This software converts a .TiVo file (produced by the TiVoToGo functionality
on recent TiVo software releases) to a normal MPEG file. This has the same
functionality as using TiVo's supplied DirectShow DLL on Windows with a tool
such as DirectShowDump, but is portable to different architectures and
operating systems, and runs on the command line using files or pipes. The
conversion still requires the valid MAK of the TiVo which recorded the file,
so it cannot be used to circumvent their protection, simply to provide the
same level of access as is already available on Windows.
rtmpdump is a tool to download RTMP streams. All forms of RTMP are supported,
including rtmp://, rtmpt://, rtmpe://, rtmpte://, and rtmps://.
MPEG TS/PS/ES Transport, Program and Elementary Stream tools
This is a set of cross-platform command line tools for working with
MPEG data. The emphasis is on relatively simple tools which
concentrate on MPEG (H.264 and H.262) data packaged according to
H.222 (i.e., TS or PS), with a particular interest in checking for
conformance. Transport Stream (TS) is typically used for distribution
of cable and satellite data. Program Stream (PS) is typically used
to store data on DVDs.
The tools are focussed on:
* Quick reporting of useful data (tsinfo, stream_type)
* Giving a quick overview of the entities in the stream
(esdots, psdots)
* Reporting on TS packets (tsreport) or ES units/frames/
fields (esreport)
* Simple manipulation of stream data (es2ts, esfilter,
esreverse, esmerge, ts2es)
* Streaming of data, possibly with introduced errors
(tsplay)
Schrodinger is a high-speed Dirac codec being developed by Fluendo in
partnership with the BBC. The main developer is David Schleef, who
developed the liboil optimisation library which is heavily used in
the project.
Native FreeBSD driver for Siano-based USB DVB devices.
This driver have been tested with the following devices :
* Terratec Cinergy Piranha
* Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick (HD)
However, other Siano-based USB devices should work, just give a try
(you may want to add new VIDs/PIDs to make your device detected) !
SMTube is a YouTube browser for SMPlayer. You can browse, search, download
and play YouTube videos. The videos are currently played in SMPlayer but
in the future it may be added the possibility to use other players.
KMPlayer, a simple frontend for MPlayer/FFMpeg/Phonon.
subtools is a port of DivX Subtitles MiniTools, command-line
tools for movie subtitles in SubRipper format (.srt files).
"srtshift" can adjust the subtitles by shifting them to the
beginning or to the end. "srtrate" does the same by changing
the supposed frame rate.
It's in early stages of development (and have been there for
a few years now), but it does its job well.
UMPlayer is the multimedia player that fills all your needs. With dozens of
advanced features and built-in codecs it can handle any media format, and
can play Audio CDs, DVDs, (S)VCDs, TV / Radio cards, YouTube" and
SHOUTcast" streams and even incomplete or damaged media files.
[ excerpt from developer's www site with modifications ]
The idea was to use the high performance Metakine M2Requantiser to
create a transcoder for Linux for shrinking the content of a DVD9.
This would enable backups on cheap single layer DVDRs (double layer
burners weren't even available that time).
Vamps builds a wrapper around the requantizer to extract the
elementary MPEG2 video stream from the DVD's program stream, feed
it through the requantizer and finally re-pack it into the program
stream again. Besides this, Vamps allows the selection of both audio
and subtitle streams that should be copied into the output stream.
This gives another small gain of disk space, since unwanted streams
may be discarded.
Summed up, Vamps is only a very basic, but nevertheless essential
tool to transcode DVD videos to a smaller size. Vamps does not need
to write temporary data files, which is a major pro. Vamps is very
fast. The downside is, that Vamps is not capable of making DVD
backups on its own.
