Free elecard avc hd to dv transcoder software for linux

Quick and Dirty Transcoder provides a simple shell script that adds transcoding support to Amarok using gstreamer.
The only prerequisites are that you have gstreamer installed and the appropriate plugins.
Quick and Dirty Transcoder works with transcoding when copying files to a media player and also adds a context menu to allow you to transcode files in your collection. When doing the latter, the transcoded file will be written to the same directory as the original file.
You can configure dirtyxcode by creating a file in your home directory ~/.dirtyxcode.sh. The format of the configuration is a shell script that will be sourced by dirtyxcode. You can use this to control how dirtyxcode constructs the gstreamer pipeline. For example, to change the flacencoder element add the following:
flac_enc="myflacencoder myflacencopt=foo"
You can also add options to the existing encoders by setting
< format >_enc_options, for example to change the preset quality
setting for the mp3 encoder (lame), add the following to your
~/.dirtyxcode.sh file.
mp3_enc_options="preset=extreme"
The default gstreamer plugins used by Quick and Dirty Transcoder are:
- wav: wavenc
- mp3: lame
- ogg: vorbisenc
- m4a: faac
- aac: faac
- flac: flacenc

The streamTranscoder is a multi-platform utility which can be used to transcode media streams from one format to another, and from one server type to another. It can read in streams of type MP3 and Vorbis from most servers (Icecast, Icecast2, Shoutcast), convert it into various formats, and send to various streaming servers.
Main features:
- Shoutcast - MP3 (with metadata and without)
- Icecast 1.x - MP3 (with icy metadata and without)
- Icecast 2 - MP3 (with metadata)
- Icecast 2 - Vorbis (with metadata)
- Peercast - MP3 and Vorbis
- KasterBlaster - MP3 (no metadata)
Enhancements:
- src/: streamTranscoder.iss, liboddcast/liboddcast.cpp, libtranscoder/transcurl.cpp: Fixed problem with transcoding fromStereo to Mono on win32 platforms (in some cases) Added
- CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL to prevent problems with getting SIGPIPEs..

Transcode is a suite of command line utilities for transcoding video and audio codecs, and for converting beween different container formats. Transcode can decode and encode many audio and video formats, e.g.
- MPEG-1/2
- MPEG-4(-part 3) (also DivX and XviD variants)
- Quicktime / MPEG-PS (dvd) (decode only)
- MPEG-1-layer-1/2/3 audio
- AC3 audio
Transcode has a variety of video and audio pre and post-processing filters, including (but not limited to):
- video de-interlacing
- audio resampling
- framerate conversion
- smoothing
- cutting
Transcode can import DVDs on-the-fly, or record from Video4Linux (including V4L2 video capturing) devices.
A number of modules are included to enable import of DVDs on-the-fly, Video4Linux (including V4L2 video capturing), MPEG elementary streams (ES) or program streams (VOB), MPEG1/2/4 video, Digital Video (DV), YUV4MPEG streams, Nuppel Video (NUV), quicktime (MOV), MPEG audio layer-1/2/3, WAVE, DIVX, MJPEG, and raw or compressed (pass-through) video frames.
A number of export modules for enable writing DivX ;-), DivX 4.02/5.xx, XviD, Digital Video, MPEG-1/2 or uncompressed AVI files with MPEG, AC3 (pass-through) or PCM audio. More file formats and codecs for audio/video import are supported by the MPlayer and avifile import modules (exporting with avifile is restricted to video codecs, with MPEG/PCM or AC3 (pass-through) audio provided by transcode). Limited DVD subtitle rendering is also available.
Its modular concept is intended to provide flexibility and easy user extensibility to include other video/audio codecs or file types. A set of tools is available to extract, demultiplex and decode the sources into raw video/audio streams for import, non AVI-file export modules for writing single frames (PPM) or YUV4MPEG streams, auto-probing and scanning your sources and to enable post-processing of AVI files, including header fixing, merging multiple files or splitting large AVI files to fit on a CD.
Transcode runs on UN*X like systems like Linux, BSD, and MacOSX.
Transcode loads shared library modules that are responsible for feeding it with raw streams and encoding the frames:
The Import Modules for audio/video decoding are loaded with dlopen system call and are responsible for starting the video and audio streams (directly or via the popen system call) and have a single function interface to the main program. The import is handled by a thread that buffers the video/audio frames.
The main program transcode currently performs a number of simple video/audio frame manipulations (in this order) or allows simple pass-through of raw frame data:
Video:
- cut out arbitray frame region for processing
- de-interlace video frame
- fast enlarging of video width/height by a multiple of 32 rows/column up to 1024x768
- fast reduction of video width/height by a multiple of 32 rows/column
- high-quality resizing with filter
- cut out arbitray frame region for encoding
- rescale (downsample) video width/height by a power of 2
- flip video frame upside down
- mirror image of video frame
- swap R and B bytes in video frame
- transform to b/w video frame
- apply gamma correction
- anti-alias video frame
Audio:
- change the volume of the audio stream
- resample audio stream
- swap byte order in audio stream
- sync video with audio frames (V=0|A=N, V=1|A=N+1,...)
- Filter Plugins:
- Additional effects are available via external filter plugins loaded with option "-J".
The Export Modules for audio/video encoding are loaded via the dlopen system call and the encoder loop is started for the selected frames. In most cases audio and video are handled by the same module.
Enhancements:
- This release includes only critical hotfixes.
- The main highlight is compatibilty with newer releases of ffmpeg libraries.
- Some filters have been updated.

NewVideoRecorder is a high quality video capture toolkit for Linux. At the moment it supports v4l1 and v4l2 devices as video sources, oss and alsa as an audio source. It can output to quicktime (in RTjpeg, YUV2, or RAW format, and most ffmpeg formats), AVI (in DivX format), NuppelVideo format, MPEG-1, and streaming multicast/unsicast.
nvrec includes deep buffering to minimise frame drops, in high load situations, and a smooth framedropping algorithm to keep the video as smooth as possible if you do have to drop frames.
It also has a audio "stretcher" to write the exact amount of audio to the output file (this compensates for lack of clock synch between video and audio cards). nvrec is written in an extremely modular way, to make it easy to integrate with existing applications, or add your own output formats.
This engine makes use of deep buffers (2 seconds+) for audio and video. The video is buffered in the driver to avoid too many costly userspace copies. The audio is buffered in a userspace ring buffer. This is expensive, but neccessary, as OSS drivers are often limited to very short buffers.
All buffers are accurately timestamped as they are received: video buffers by the kernel, and audio buffers by gettimeofday() (offset by the current depth of the kernel buffer). At the start, audio or video is dropped until both are in sync, and from then on, only audio and video timestamped for the same period is processed.
Since there will be clock drift between the audio capture and video capture cards, the audio stream is dynamically warped so that exactly the right amount of audio is placed in the output file for each video frame written to the file (NOTE: At the moment the warping is done by a simple line algorithm - could do a lot better here). A simple P-I controller adjusts the warping factor to keep sync.
The code tries to keep the internal buffers between 10% (to make sure we never run out of data) and 40% (to make sure we don;t have uncontrolled dropping) full. When the buffer is less than 10% full, it simply sleeps 1 frame period. When the buffer is more than 40% full, it gradually drops more frames per sencond, until a stable point is reached.
The code is designed to be very modular, so there should be no problem adding an alsa core.
There are currently five output cores: qtfile_core, which produces RTjpeg, YUV2 or RAW encoded quicktime files; divxfile_core, which produces DivX encoded avi files; nuvfile_core, which produces NuppelVideo0.4 files; rtefile_core, which produces mpeg-1 program streams; and ffmpegfile_core, which produces a lot of types of files, like mpeg4, mpeg2, mpeg1, wmv, dv, h263... (see documentation in ffmpeg.sf.net).
Enhancements:
- Added support for recording radio (in devices with support for that
- Fixed ffmpegrec support, updating the code to use the new libavcodec api and new libavformat api (ffmpeg cvs release 2004-07-09 checked)
- Fixed some bugs in the calls to v4l2 api (kernel 2.6.4).
- Added support for split files on the fly, by specify the size of each chunk and the basename used for each file.
- Fixed some compile warnings. The code compiles without problems in gcc 2.95 and gcc 3.3.

Dreamlinux distribution is a modern and modular Linux system that can be run directly from the CD and optionally be easily installed onto your HD.

Dreamlinux comes with a selection of the best applications designed to meet mostly of your daily needs.

Dreamlinux is based on Debian and Morphix, which means it takes advantages of their best features and adds its own modern development tools.

Being a modular system Dreamlinux allows you to add new modules comprising your preferred applications and build a new Distro that meet your requirements by means of its revolutionary MKDistro tool.

DecryptHD software can be used for realtime HD DVD decryption while streaming the decrypted movie to the player. It uses drive authentication to obtain the volume ID from it. This means it doesnt use a key database, but you do need a real drive. Without a real drive theres probably no point in realtime decryption anyway. Not wanting to watch all files on disc starting from A to Z, this also means it works on a per file basis. You have to specify the file you want to watch.

At the moment, this tool is Linux only for the simple reason that its my normal desktop and development environment (Debian). So its kinda obvious the targeted player is mplayer because of this. This is also where the streaming comes into the picture. The ffvc1 decoder not only works for normal playback from harddisk, but also supports streaming.

The current status of the tool is that it works and runs stable. But Ive only tested it with the Bourne Supremacy, but Im hoping that it should with all HD DVDs released to date. Mind the "hoping" though since a 1 disc test is not a 100% guarantee. See this as a testrun. Its written in C++ and if theres demand Ill release the source once the rough edges are gone. Also need to improve the subset-difference stuff first, its kinda sucky the way its implemented right now. Also both currently discovered processing keys are in it (lets get this into the open right away). The advantage of this is that theres no fiddling with keys, but the downside is that when keys get revoked/discovered, this will require an update of the app. Maybe Ill make a different solution at a later time, who knows.

If you run into trouble (so many things can go wrong), theres a log created called decrypthd.log in the same directory the tool is in. Please include it in any bug reports.

How to run:

1. unrar e decrypthd.rar (extracts the archive)
2. chmod +x decrypthd (makes it executable)
3. ./decrypthd (run the executable file)

Usage: decrypthd < device > < mountpoint > < filename > -o [options] | < player >

Options:

-c Chunksize

Example: decrypthd /dev/scd0 /mnt/hddvd/ file.evo -o | mplayer -demuxer mpegps -vc -ffvc1 -

First you need to plug in your drive if you havent done so already. Ive been using a Xbox360 HD DVD drive. Unmodified, just as you buy it in a store. Once plugged in youll need to find its device. Usually this is /dev/sr0 (its alias is /dev/scd0). This is the < device > value and you need this for the drive authentication. Next mount the drive (the < mountpoint >). In short now youre good to go.

In reality however, you need to know the filename of the evo you want to watch. On the disc Ive got here this is FEATURE_1.EVO (case sensitive). So look this up in the HVDVD_TS directory.

It uses OpenSSL for the signature calculations, so make sure youve got that.

Now fire the entire thing up (Im assuming youve got the latest mplayer). You need to specify the demuxer and decoder:

decrypthd /dev/scd0 /mnt/hddvd/ FEATURE_1.EVO -o | mplayer -demuxer mpegps -vc ffvc1 -
