KungFu DVD Ripper is a GStreamer based DVD ripper.

KungFu creates backups of your DVDs, saving them as .oggs on your hard drive. It encodes the backup using patent-free codecs, Theora for video and Vorbis for audio.

KungFu is not designed for producing backups that fit within a certain file size (say, for burning onto CD); instead, it is designed to produce backups of consistent quality while maintaining the lowest average file size possible (for building a video library on your hard drive).

Video::DVDRip is a GUI for copying DVDs, based on an open Low Level API.

This Perl module consists currently of two major components:

1. A low level OO style API for ripping and transcoding DVD video, which is based on Thomas Oestreichs program transcode, a Linux Video Stream Processing Tool. This API is currently well undocumented.

2. A Gtk+ based Perl program called dvd::rip which provides a nice GUI to control all necessary steps from ripping, adjusting all parameters and transcoding the video to the format you desire.

The distribution name is derived from the Perl namespace it occupies:

Video::DVDRip. Although the DVD Ripper GUI is called dvd::rip, because its shorter and easier to pronounce (if you omit the colons...)

DVD Home Video Project is a tool that provides a simple, quick way to transform video on a DV camcorder into a fully functional DVD, including a menu with optional background images and music.

The SR-RTP library enables real-time streaming applications (such as streaming MPEG-4 video) to cope with packet loss, variable bandwidth, and variable delay on the Internet.

It provides a means for selective retransmission of lost packets in a fashion that is backwards-compatible with RTP. Additionally, it provides integration with the Congestion Manager to provide a system capable of performing TCP- friendly streaming of real-time data.

Installation:

The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation.

It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package. It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.

Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).

If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.

If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.

The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute
`configure itself.

Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.

4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.

There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

File::Headerinfo::Video is an extractor of useful information from video files.

File::Headerinfo::Video uses Video::Info to read the headers of video clips (of various kinds) and a few audio files, and extract from them the useful information we crave.

File::Headerinfo::Video can handle all the types that Video::Info can handle, including quicktime files, mpegs, DivX, AVI and ASF files.

I like using Amarok for managing my podcasts but I wasnt able to play my video podcasts.

Amarok Video Player adds a PlayVideo/Play menu item to the context menu which runs KMPlayer.

Edit the script to change KMplayer to another video player.

Video::Info::MPEG::Constants is a suite of modules to probe video files for various attributes.

Previous versions of Video::Info depended on external modules, such as RIFF::Info and ASF::Info. This is no longer the case, you dont need to install them. All the functionality is now included with the Video::Info distribution.

To contribute, use Video::Info::FOO as a template to write a module, and email it to the Allen Day. Also see t/FOO.t as an example test script to verify the sanity of your code.

Installation:

video-entropyd is a program to add entropy data from video4linux devices to the kernel random driver.

For security reasons (when doing network traffic or generating secure keys for example) one wants as much entropy-data in the kernel random-driver as possible. The random-driver takes partially care for this. But in situations in where theres a lot of demand for entropy-data, it might not be able to gather enough entropy-data by itself.

Thats where this program is for: adding entropy-data to the kernel-driver. It does that by fetching 2 images from a video4linux-device (with a random delay in between), calculating the difference between those two and then calculating the number of information-bits in that data. After that, the data with the number-of-entropy-bits is submitted to the kernel-random-driver.

After that, the program exits (when run from crontab) or sleeps a random time before redoing the same process.

Whats New in This Release:

· This version checks the quality of the data it feeds to the /dev/random-device to see if the data is really random.
· Extra logging has been added.

Pocket Linux is an almost minimal, one floppy linux system designed to quickly convert PC workstation into secure linux-based workstation using ssh to connect to remote host (other networking clients are also supported).

It supports bootp for determining host IP and other network parameters (theres also manual configuration possible, but bootp is recommended).

In addition to workstations equipped with a network card (ethernet or arcnet), you can also use Pocket Linux on a PC equipped with a modem. Modem is automatically detected and then PPP connection is made.

The idea came up some time in 1996 or so. The distribution then was not perfect, but still it shown it was a great idea. It wasnt maintained for about year or so, until I took it up again in the early January 1998. After a complete rebuild Pocket Linux 2.00 was released. It soon gained a huge number of happy users, whose ideas helped its development.

The aim is to provide a small and efficient workstation that autoconfigures as much as possible and lets securely use the network from almost everywhere.

Current version is a nice attempt and future ones will enhance the automation and support for various network equipment and protocols, becoming a total solution. Future plans also include side projects like one floppy router.

In order to understand some of the config options its useful to know something about operations that are done during bootup (in order to automatically configure the network). These are, in order (the later attempts are made if the earlier ones dont set-up the network):
- attempt to setup the network using BOOTP
- attempt to reuse previous manual configuration
- modem detection
- attempt to setup modem conection
Most of the config options switches these operations on and off.

Main menu

You can choose the following network configuration commands from the main menu (only the ones that make sense in the present context are displayed):
- Options - allows setting few binary parameters controlling automatic network configuration and modem handling.
- BOOTP query - attempts to configure network (ethernet or arcnet) using BOOTP. Normally its automatically done during bootup, but this can be switched off.
- Manual configuration - allows manual setting of network configuration parameters (ethernet or arcnet).
- Detect modem - detects serial port the modem is on and its parameters (transfer rate, initialization commands).
- Dial PPP using predefined configuration - creates modem connection (PPP) using one of (up to ten) remembered configurations. By default only TPSA (0202122) configuration is remembered.
- Dial PPP using new configuration - creates new PPP configuration and sets up a modem connection using the newly created config.
- Disconnect PPP - disconnects modem connection.
- Mount /usr via NFS - mounts remote /usr filesystem via NFS. It will be automatically mounted during each Pocket Linux bootup if its turned on in configuration options.
- Exit - Do not config the network - exits the program without configuring the network.

Configuration options

There are following options available:
- Probe network with BOOTP - switches automatic BOOTP probing during bootup on and off. On by default.
- Reuse manual network configs - if on, an attempt is made to restore network configuration during bootup. Netconf remembers 10 most recent manual configurations along with network cards MAC addresses. If cards MAC address matches one of the remembered ones, assigned configuration is used. On by default.
- Automatically setup PPP - switches automatic attempt to create modem connection during bootup on and off. Its made with the first config on PPP configs list. On by default.
- Reuse modem configuration - if on, modem detection is not performed during bootup - instead most recently used modem configuration is used. Off by default.
- Pulse dialing - switches dialing mode used for modem connections between tone dialing (DTMF) and pulse dialing. Default is off (that is tone dialing).
- Automount disk partitions - switches on and off automatical disk partitions mounting (ext2 and vfat filesystems) and swap partition activation during bootup. On by default.
- Add swap file if low memory - switches on and off automatical swap file creation during bootup. Swap file is created if, and only if, theres less than 16 MB memory available (including potentially activated swap partitions) and theres a disk partition on which it could be created available. On by default.
- Automount NFS /usr - switches on and off /usr filestem mounting via NFS during bootup. NFS path to the filestem must be set using "Mount /usr filesystem via NFS" command in main menu. Off by default.

Manual network card configuration

You can enter network configuration parameters in this window:
- This machines IP - enter IP number for this computer here
- Network mask - enter netmask here. If omitted, mask will be calculated based on IP (which will not necessarily be right).
- Broadcast address - enter network broadcast address here. If omitted broadcast address will be calculated based on IP (not mask! - which will not necessarily be right).
- Default gateway - enter IP address of default network gateway (router) here.
- Nameserver IP(s) - enter one or more (separated by spaces) name servers IP addresses here. Can be omitted, but then domain names couldnt be used.
- Default domain(s) - you can enter one or more (separated by spaces) domain names to search host if incomplete domain names will be used. Its optional.

PPP configuration

You can enter modem connection configuration parameters in this window:
- Config name - config name (used in existing configuration selection menu).
- Phone number - phone number to dial (eg. 0w202122 for TPSA access modems).
- Username - username to send to remote server
- Password - password to send to remote server
- Nameserver IP(s) - enter one or more (separated by spaces) name servers IP addresses here. Can be omitted, but then domain names couldnt be used.
- Default domain(s) - you can enter one or more (separated by spaces) domain names to search host if incomplete domain names will be used. Its optional.

Because of permanent configuration that is kept on the floppy you should remember to:
- dont write protect the floppy
- dont remove the floppy from the drive (at least during network configuration)

Whats New in This Release:

· bugfixes in netconf reuse code
