Imagination is a simple DVD slide show maker. It uses sox and ffmpeg
to create slide shows containing images and audio tracks.
A cross-platform frontend to mencoder designed to facilitate the conversion
of almost any video format to one that is playable on various multimedia
players.

If you want to convert DVD subtitles into text format (e.g. subrip
format) or VobSub format this program could be useful for you.
However, it is only one tiny tool that you need in the process of
producing srt files. This software depends heavily on transcode
for its input and is therefore part of the transcode package (see
transcode's contrib directory). So, if you want to convert some
subtitles, grap a copy of the lates transcode distribution.
For srt file production the output of this program should be processed
by some OCR software. Currently, I work with GOCR for this purpose.
For VobSub output no other tools are required.
libfame is a video encoding library.
It can currently encode MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 rectangular video, as well as
MPEG-4 video with arbitrary shape.
Objectives
- Compliance : Provide bitstreams compliant to the MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and
MPEG-4 video standards.
- Speed : Provide a fast implementation of the techniques used in MPEG
standards.
- Flexibility : Allow the user to choose between different options for
speed, compression ratio and quality.
- Portability : Support many different platforms and architectures.

It is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video
streams. The main goals in libmpeg2 development are:
Conformance - libmpeg2 is able to decode all mpeg streams that
conform to certain restrictions: "constrained parameters" for
mpeg-1, and "main profile" for mpeg-2. In practice, this is what
most people are using. For streams that follow these restrictions,
we believe libmpeg2 is 100% conformant to the mpeg standards - and
we have a pretty extensive test suite to check this.
Speed - for most current systems, the display will actually take
more time than the mpeg-2 decoding. For systems that have hardware
color conversion and scaling (as we can use with the xv extension
in Xfree 4), you should be able to watch DVD streams on a Celeron
400. On a PIII/666 with null display you should get about 110 frames
per second.
Portability - most of the code is written in C, and when we use
platform-specific optimizations we always have a generic C routine
to fall back on.
The Quasar DV codec (libdv) is a software codec for DV video, the
encoding format used by most digital camcorders, typically those
that support the IEEE 1394 (a.k.a. FireWire or i.Link) interface.
Libdv was developed according to the official standards for DV
video: IEC 61834 and SMPTE 314M.
Please note that this software is only concerned with the DV video
compression format, which is different from capturing the data from
a camcorder.
LAME plugin for libquicktime
libsmacker is a cross-platform C library which can be used for decoding Smacker
Video files produced by RAD Game Tools. Smacker Video was the king of video
middleware in the 1990s, and its 256-color compressed video format was used in
over 2600 software titles.
A multimedia server for KiSS/Linksys media players that enables the player to
browse through and play stored files in a wide range of video, audio and image
formats.
kissdx is a PC-Link clone based for the most part on kissd (which it now
replaces), with added features for media playback, management, flexibility and
more.
libxspf is a parser library for the XML Shareable Playlist Format
(XSPF). XSPF is an open format for playlists. The XSPF specification has
been written by Xiph.
