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.

MPEG-1 Video Software Encoder
(Version 1.5; February 1, 1995)

and Dan Wallach
Computer Science Division-EECS, Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley
This directory contains the freely distributed Berkeley MPEG-1 Video
Encoder. The encoder implements the standard described in the ISO/IEC
International Standard 11172-2. The code has been compiled and tested
on the following platforms:
DECstation 5000 and Alpha
HP PA-RISC (HP/UX 9.X) (i.e., HP 9000/7XX and 9000/3XX)
SGI Indigo running IRIX 5.0.1
Sun Sparc (SunOS 4.X)
This is *not* bug-free software. In particular, I've had problems using
odd-sized input frames. Other than that, it works OK.

recordings menu:
* renaming recordings and directories
* moving recordings and directories, also between different filesystems
* adjustable display of recording's length, date and size
* directories are always shown on top of the list
* reworked layout using icons for showing the status of list entries
(directory, new recording, moving recording/directory, cutting recording,
dvd archiv entry)
* extended recordings info menu, shows name, path, channel, size, lifetime and
priority of the recording
* free disk space is shown for the filesystem of the current directory
* sorting by name or date, adjustable for each directory; type of sorting will
be stored
* ascending/descending sorting
* extends VDR's '-r'-option commands with 'move' and 'rename'
* functionality of the DVDArchive-patch (see below)
* protecting recordings in co-work with the PIN-plugin
* a cutter queue

This code forms a set of C++ libraries for multimedia streaming,
using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP and RTSP). These libraries
- which can be compiled for Unix (including Linux and Mac OS X),
Windows, and QNX(and other POSIX-compliant systems) - can be used
to build streaming applications. The libraries are already being
used to implement applications such as "liveCaster" and "playRTPMPEG"
(for streaming MP3 audio using RTP/RTCP). The libraries can also
be used to stream, receive, and process MPEG video, and can easily be
extended to support additional (audio and/or video) codecs. They can
also be used to build basic RTSP clients and servers, and have been
used to add streaming support to existing media player applications,
such as "mplayer".
The Multi-Generator (MGEN) is open source software by the Naval Research
Laboratory (NRL) PROTocol Engineering Advanced Networking (PROTEAN)
Research Group. MGEN provides the ability to perform IP network
performance tests and measurements using UDP/IP traffic (TCP is currently
being developed).
The toolset generates real-time traffic patterns so that the network can
be loaded in a variety of ways. The generated traffic can also be
received and logged for analyses. Script files are used to drive the
generated loading patterns over the course of time. These script files can
be used to emulate the traffic patterns of unicast and/or multicast UDP/IP
applications. The receive portion of this tool set can be scripted to
dynamically join and leave IP multicast groups. MGEN log data can be used
to calculate performance statistics on throughput, packet loss rates,
communication delay, and more.
Smb4K is an SMB share browser for KDE. Its features are inspired by Komba2
by Frank Schwanz. It uses the Samba software suite for an easy access
to the SMB shares of your local network neighborhood.
Features so far:
- Scanning for (active) workgroups, hosts, and shares
- Mounting and unmounting of SMB and CIFS shares, including unmounting
all shares at once
- Access to the files of a mounted SMB or CIFS share using Konqueror
- Auto-detection of external mounts/unmounts
- Remounting of recently used shares on program start
- Miscellaneous infos about the mounted SMB and CIFS shares
- Network search
- WINS server support
- Preview of shares
- Selectable look-up and search methods
- Default login
- Ability to execute mount and umount SUID root (using super or sudo)
- Special handling of homes shares
- Ability to bookmark favorite shares
- And many more :)
This is version 6.1 of Rdist from USC. It is based on rdist from
4.3BSD (classic). It includes all fixes for all bugs known to the
CSRG Berkeley folks. It has been running at USC and numerous other
sites for some time now on a wide variety of platforms.
This version of rdist is not directly compatible with rdist
distributed with 4.3BSD and subsequent vendor releases, but does
indirectly provide full backward compatibility.
This version of rdist does not need to be setuid "root" at all. Rdist
now uses the rsh(1c) [remote command] program to make connections to
remote hosts, instead of making the connection directly. This
eliminates the need to be run as "root". Many thanks to Chris
Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> and John DiMarco
<jdd@cdf.toronto.edu> who came up with an rsh version of rcmd() that
makes this possible.
PySimpleSOAP (Python Simple SOAP) library for client and server webservices
interfaces, aimed to be as small and easy as possible, supporting most common
functionality. Initially it was inspired by PHP Soap Extension (mimicking it
functionality, simplicity and ease of use), with many advanced features added.
Goals:
- Simple: less than 200LOC client/server concrete implementation for easy
maintainability and enhancments.
- Flexible: adapted to several SOAP dialects (Java Axis, .Net, JBoss), with the
posibility of fine-tuning XML request and responses
- Pythonic: no artifacts, no class generation, no special types, RPC calls
parameters and return values are simple python structures (dicts, list, etc.)
- Dynamic: no definition (WSDL) required, dynamic generation and parsing
supported (cached in a pickle file for performance, supporting fixing broken
WSDL)
- Easy: simple xml manipulation, including basic serialization and raw
object-like access to SOAP messages
- Extensible: supports several HTTP wrappers (httplib2, pycurl, urllib2) for
special transport needs over SSL and proxy (ISA)
