Free asf 0.993 software for linux

Video::Info::ASF is a Perl module for ASF files for attributes like:

-video codec
-audio codec
-frame height
-frame width
-frame count
and more!

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info::ASF;

my $video;

$video = Video::Info::ASF->new(-file=>$filename); #like this

$video->vcodec; #video codec
$video->acodec; #audio codec
...

ASF stands for Advanced Systems Format, in case you were wondering. It used to stand for Active Streaming Format, but Microsoft decided to change it. This type of file is primarily used to store audio & video data for local or streaming playback. It can also be embedded with commands (to launch a web browser, for instance), for an "immersive" experience. ASF is similar in structure to RIFF. (See RIFF::Info). The morbidly curious can find out more below in REFERENCES.

This project attempts to provide a working implementation of a few multimedia-related utilities for x86 Linux. At the time of its creation in May 2000 its primary goal was creation of video capture and recompression applications that would work with most popular AVI file format and newest data compression methods ( Indeo Video and variations of MPEG-4 for image compression and MPEG Layer-3/Windows Media Audio for sound ).

The core idea of the project was in using Win32 dynamic-link libraries in Linux environment. However, it has become most popular because of its side product - an AVI movie player that could play DivX ;-) movies in Linux with reasonable performance and stability. Since then most of work was done in this direction.

Now it supports a wide range of codecs ( compressors/decompressors ) such as DivX ;-), Indeo Video, I263, and others, able to show subtitles and perform video output using YUV overlays when necessary support from hardware and operating system is available.

It is also able to play most files in ASF format, and current development CVS code is capable of streaming ASF media over HTTP. The project is not intended to provide universal media framework for Linux, nor to do much more than what it currently does. Moreover, its mostly a proof-of-concept work. It was the first project that introduced the idea of using Windows DLLs and very limited ( ~50 Kbytes of code ) subset of Win32 API for audio/video (de)compression in *nix environments, the idea which is already reused in several other - more general - software projects.

It is the first project that extends that idea to the usage of DirectShow audio/video decoders for the same purpose ( by emulating DirectShow/DCOM environment from decoder point of view ). It is the only project that includes a player for files in Advanced Streaming Format. All these features are essential for the complete modern multimedia environment, and hopefully will become available in near future in such perspective architectures as Arts ( KDE ) or GStreamer ( Gnome ).

Aside from reusing the ideas, the project is used as is in a few media players for Linux, such as XMMS, XTheater or LAMP. The code of this project is distributed under General Public License version 2. Basically it means that you may do anything you want with this code, but if you want to redistribute it or any its derivatives, you have to do it under GPL and you have to make the source code available. For more details visit the site of Free Software Foundation.

Legal issues covering Win32 DLLs which accompany source code are a bit more complicated. These DLLs are freely available in the Internet ( exact URLs to most of them are available on this site ). For those DLLs which come with the license, their copyright owners allow using them at no cost if you do not disassemble, reverse-engineer them, etc. In some cases ( Indeo Video ) they explicitly allow to include these files into other projects under mentioned restrictions. Many DLLs are available without having to accept any license agreement at all ( DivX ;-), all DirectShow codecs ), what obviously means that any kind of activity with them is acceptable.

There is no warranty about the quality of this project. It is written mostly by one former university student with background in the area of Applied Physics in his spare time. I cannot even guarantee that it compiles properly on your system, because I dont have resources to test it on all existing distributions of Linux and flavors of Unix. I try to resolve the issues that Im informed about.

Video::Info::MPEG is a basic MPEG bitstream attribute parser.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Video::Info::MPEG;

my $video = Video::Info::MPEG->new( -file => $filename );
$video->probe();

print $file->type; ## MPEG

## Audio information
print $file->acodec; ## MPEG Layer 1/2
print $file->acodecraw; ## 80
print $file->achans; ## 1
print $file->arate; ## 128000 (bits/sec)
print $file->astreams ## 1

## Video information
printf "%0.2f", $file->fps ## 29.97
print $file->height ## 240
print $file->width ## 352
print $file->vstreams ## 1
print $file->vcodec ## MPEG1
print $file->vframes ## 529
print $file->vrate ## 1000000 (bits/sec)

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group in charge of the development of standards for coded representation of digital audio and video.
MPEG audio and video clips are ubiquitous but using Perl to programmatically collect information about these bitstreams has to date been a kludge at best.

This module parses the raw bitstreams and extracts information from the packet headers. It supports Audio, Video, and System (multiplexed audio and video) packets so it can be used on nearly every MPEG you encounter.

Kiss is a simple and efficient media player based on the powerful GStreamer media framework.
It supports all file formats supported by GStreamer, including Ogg (Theora, Vorbis, Speex, FLAC), ASF (WMV/WMA, ...), AVI (XviD, MJPEG, DivX ...), Quicktime (MPEG-4, Sorensen...), MPEG (1, 2, 4) and so on.
The primary purpose of Kiss is to be a simple example application. It includes a very simple, to-the-point video widget for GStreamer/KDE.
Kiss is simple, to-the-point and has no more features than are needed to playback media. It exists as a test-bed and a show-off method for GStreamer. If you are interested in using the Kiss codebase as a base for a fully-featured KDE media player, please do so. I will help development as much as I can. I will, however, not be able to maintain and develop this fully-featured player myself.
Main features:
- Support for all popular media formats, including Ogg, AVI, ASF, MPEG and Quicktime.
- Automatic size handling
- Full-screen support

pyDirStat is a small tool to view statistical information about a directory.

It will generate a view of all files contained in a directory (and subdirectories) with rectangles.

Each rectangle area is proportional to file size. Its a perfect tool to view disk usage with graphics.

Configuration:

You can now configure pydirstat. pds-config.py is provided to help creating configuration file. It will ask few questions, and will write configuration file.
In the configuration file, you will be able to change color associations.

First find the configuration file by launching pds-config.py and answering questions. At the end, the configuration filename will be prompted.
Youll find a section options containing your answers. And then youll find several type:... sections. Those sections define the "type" associated to each file. A type is just a string like image or sound. Then there is the section color that define the color associated to a file type.

There is four type: section.
type:extension : Every file ending by this extension will have the associated type. This is case sensitive. Most of unix filenames will be recognized by this section.
type:extensionlower : This is the same section exept that the exentension is lowercased (so asf will match asf and ASF). Most of Windows filenames will be recognized by this section.
type:exactmatch : The whole file should be equal to the key. Exemple : "core" file under unix.
type:contain : The file contains the key. Exemple : ".so." to match linux libraries.
Note for windows users: If this is too complex, just edit the type:extensionlower and the color sections.
Note for unix users: If this is too complex, just edit the type:extension and the color sections.

Video::Info 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.

INSTALLATION:

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test (optional)
make install

File2Divx3Pass is a Perl-GTK frontend to mencoder for encoding media file to MPEG4.

It can encode any media file supported by mencoder to DiVX, in 1-, 2- or 3-pass encoding.

You can create new, save and load projects and you can batch encode your projects. It also has an automatic video bitrate and bits per pixel calculator.

File2DiVX3Pass2 is a Gtk2 version, with the same functionality as the Gtk version. I have added some new features (see changelog). Formats tested by me that work: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, DiVX, WMV, ASF, RM, MOV, DAT, CUE/BIN and OGM.
