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. (read "will
work only in your wildest dreams")

nxtvepg - Decoder, Browser and Analyzer for the Nextview
Electronic Programme Guide
nxtvepg is an X11 application to decode, analyze and browse TV programme
schedules transmitted on analog TV channels as defined in ETS 300 707:
"Protocol for a TV Guide using electronic data transmission" by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute.
nxtvepg enables you to obtain free TV programme listings for all of the major
networks in Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland.
Currently Nextview EPG is transmitted by the following TV networks (note that
each of these EPGs cover not only the provider's programme but also that of many
other networks): Kabel1, 3Sat, RTL-II (Germany and Austria), SF1, TSR1, TSI1,
EuroNews (Switzerland), Canal+, M6 (France), TRT-1 (Turkey).
You will need a bktr(4) compatible tv tuner card with teletext support in order
to use nxtvepg.
It is recommended to check the card's setup before using nxtvepg, e.g. with the
following applications from the ports collection:
multimedia/fxtv for tv tuner and misc/alevtv for Teletext support.
