XMovie was originally written as a simple, fast method to play uncompressed movies with stereo sound back when the only uncompressed movie player was xanim and the only MPEG player was MTV.

XAnim didnt play stereo sound and MTV was a $15 shareware. Hard to believe how todays applications toss movies around like nothing when just 4 years ago it was an ordeal just to play an MPEG stream.

XMovie is mainly intended for uncompressed movie playback, nonstandard output from Cinelerra, and testing decoder libraries.

Its not intended for low resolution, low bitrate internet downloads. Your luck will improve with something like M Player

6 channels of audio can be sent to a soundcard supporting 6 channel audio. More importantly, HDTV program and ATSC transport streams play back.

These streams are usually obtained through a capture board like the WinTV HD, set top box hacking, or other means. Forget about downloading HDTV moviez from the internet.

dvd-slideshow makes a DVD-compatible slideshow video with menus from a batch of pictures.
dvd-slideshow project consists of a set of scripts: dvd-slideshow reads a text file list of all the pictures you want in one slideshow and creates a DVD-compatible MPEG movie with your audio tracks and specified timing.
It supports effects such as fades, crops, and the Ken Burns effect. dvd-menu makes a top-level DVD menu with the output files from dvd-slideshow. dir2slideshow makes a dvd-slideshow input file from a directory of pictures.
gallery2slideshow makes the input file from your Gallery album. jigl2slideshow makes the input file from your jigl album. The output is fed through dvdauthor to create DVDs.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a few major bugs with newer versions of ImageMagick (6.2.2 and higher) that showed up primarily when using the KenBurns effect.
- There are other bugfixes and improvements that should make this more compatible with the wide variety of Linux systems out there.
- Note that the title keyword has changed, so if you re-run your old slideshows, "title" will have to be changed to "titlebar" for the same behavior.
- The title keyword just displays the text in the middle of the screen.

cpdvd is a tool to transfer a DVD title to your harddisk with ease on Linux.

This tool copies all required files for a movie title from a DVD on your harddisk for further processing with libdvdreads image mode (e.g. transcode). It automatically selects the title with longest duration - but you can also pick a specific one.

The tool determines the correct title set (VTS-VOB files) for the selected title, clones the navigation information (IFO files) and extracts (decodes) the data into new video object streams.

Installation:

Unzip the file and place it in your bin path. Make sure you have installed Perl! You need at least transcode version 0.6.0pre4 and of course cpvts.

Usage:

You simply give a target directory (will be created automatically) insert a DVD and thats all:

cpdvd MyMovie

You can then run transcode with the dvd import module (-x dvd) on this directory:

transcode -i MyMovie -x dvd ...

If your DVD device is not /dev/dvd or the DVD mount point is not /dvd then you must specify the following options:

cpdvd -d /dev/mydvddevice -m /my/dvd/mointpoint MyMovie

or set the DVD_MOUNT and DVD_DEV environment variables.

If you want to copy another title or the main title guess was wrong then you can pick a title with the -t option:

cpdvd -t 2 MyMovie

With the -i option you will receive information on all titles of a disc and the guess which title is the main title:

cpdvd -i

DVD BacKup Express is a small Kommander Script to create a GUI for dvdbackup.

I made it because it can be run on any platform with kommander installed and dvdbackup available (which may be more platforms than kdvdbackup or other binary frontends are available for)

There is a lot of room for improvement here. Feel free to spruce it up a bit and send me the new .kmdr file and i will update this.
