recordMyDesktop produces a file (default out.ogg) that contains a video
and audio recording of a desktop session. The default behavior of
recording is to mark areas that have changed (through libxdamage) and
update the frame.
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.
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.
[ 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.
YAMDI stands for Yet Another MetaData Injector and is a metadata injector
for FLV files. It adds the onMetaData event to your FLV files.
SMPlayer intends to be a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic
features like playing videos, DVDs, and VCDs to more advanced features
like support for MPlayer filters and more.
XAnim is a program that can display animations of various
formats on systems running X11. XAnim currently supports
the following animation types:
+ FLI animations.
+ FLC animations.
+ IFF animations. The following features are sup-
ported:
-> Compressions 3,5,7,J(movies) and l(small
L).
-> Color cycling during single images and
anims.
-> Display Modes: depth 1-8, EHB, HAM and
HAM8.
+ GIF87a and GIF89a files.
-> single and multiple images supported.
-> GIF89a animation extensions supported.
+ GIF89a animation extension support.
+ a kludgy text file listing gifs and what order
to show them in.
+ DL animations. Formats 1, 2 and partial 3.
+ Amiga PFX(PageFlipper Plus F/X) animations. TEMP
DISABLED
+ Amiga MovieSetter animations(For those Eric
Schwartz fans).
+ Utah Raster Toolkit RLE images and anims.
+ AVI animations. Currently supported are
-> IBM Ultimotion (ULTI) depth 16.
-> JPEG (JPEG) depth 24.
images.
+ MPEG animations. Currently only Type I Frames
are displayed. Type B and Type P frames are cur-
rently ignored, but will be added in future
revs.
+ WAV audio files may have their sound added to
any animation type that doesn't already have
audio, by specifying the .wav file after the
animation file on the command line. Currently
only the PCM audio codec is supported.
+ any combination of the above on the same command
line.
XAnim also provides various options that allow the user to
alter colormaps, playback speeds, looping modes and can
provide on-the-fly scaling of animations with the mouse.

Xtheater is a Media Player for Linux capable of playing MPEG video and audio
files, network streams, and VCDs, as well as AVI and ASF files. It tries to
keep things simple and straightforward to provide the simplest, most stable
behavior as possilbe, while at the same time offering a nice featureset.
Ayttm is an instant messaging (aka chat) client that provides all-in-one
chat functionality for several major instant messaging services from one
simple program. Ayttm "Contacts" allow you to refer to several accounts of
the same person from a single contact name, making it one of the cleanest
and simplest clients to use.
