[ excerpt from developer's www site ] 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.

[ excerpt from developer's site ] 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.

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.

lavtools: Linux Audio and Video TOOLS for Motion JPEG and MPEG ============================================================== Programs for MJPEG recording and playback and simple cut-and-paste editting and MPEG compression of audio and video under Linux (Now FreeBSD). N.b. Only the "lav" programs have been written whooly from scratch. The rest are from diverse open source originals, modified to work with the lav tools edit lists and AVI and quicktime files. Some (especially the MPEG tools) have had also more major perfomance and functionality enhancements.

mpgtx was designed with the good old Unix philosophy in mind : do few but do it well and provide end user an austary yet powerfull command line interface. - mpgtx can currently split and join MPEG 1 video files and most MPEG audio files. - mpgtx can fetch detailed informations from MPEG 1 and MPEG 2. - mpgtx can demultiplex MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 files (System layer, Program layer and Transport Layer). - mpgtx can add, remove and edit ID3 tags from mp3 files and rename mp3 files according to their ID3 tags. - DivX ;) is not yet supported, neither is MPEG 4 - splitting and joining of MPEG 2 video files is experimental.
