Free encoder wheel software for linux

DreamEncoder is a TwinVQ encoder working in XWindow environment based. It uses free encoding library taken from TwinVQ SDK by NTT. As always program is available on GNU GPL, so you get the source code. You can use it as you wish, but please note that the code is mine .
DreamEncoder has been created to fill the hole - there wasnt any batch encoder (like TwinVQ Encoder by Andre Kampert for Win32).

To install DreamEncoder do the following steps:
Untar the package by typing:
# tar -zxf dreamenc-v?.?.?.tar.gz
then go to the dreamenc directory:
# cd dreamenc
and type:
# make
In a while computer will compile the source code, when finishes type:
# make install and the DreamEncoder is installed on your system. To use it type in xterm or run anyway dreamenc. The interface is (I think) intuitive so you cant complain thats non-intuitive.

KmPg2 is a very simple to use MPEG2 encoding wizard that allows the user to create high quality DVD compatible MPEG2 streams, without requiring any technical knowledge.
Creating high quality MPEG2 streams involves a lot more than simply feeding the input video to mpeg2enc/transcode/mencoder/etc.
The input video needs to be carefully prepared by pulling it through a chain of stream processing tools like low-pass filters, color correction filters, static and dynamic chroma and luma noise filters, scalers, and so on.
This processing chain needs to be tuned in such a way that all irrelevant data (like noise) is removed before the video enters the encoder. KmPg2 uses the video processing / encoding tools from the MJPEGTools project to achieve this.
KmPg2 features a profiler that enables the user to interactively create custom pre-processing pipelines that are optimised for a specific type of video material. These preprocessing pipelines (profiles) can be stored and used with the actual encoding wizard.
For example, you could create a profile that is designed especially for restoring a single aging VHS tape, or you could create a profile tuned for your digital camcorder and re-use it for every new recording that needs to be encoded.
At this moment KmPg2 accepts only one format of input video: Raw Sony DV video streams. This is the video format that most people use nowadays for high quality video processing and editing. Support for using AVI files for input is expected in future versions.
Main features:
- Produces DVD compliant MPEG2 streams
- Seperate chroma/luma noise filtering
- Low-Pass filtering support
- Contrast/Brightness/Saturation correction
- White balance correction
- Special black-and-white mode
- Crop image to Widescreen (16:9) or Panavision (2.35:1)
- Output conforms to Rec.601 specifications
- Both constant bitrate and variable bitrate encoding
- Unsharp masking
- Supports progressive and interlaced source material
- Support for removing overscan area
- Provides feedback to user about average/peak bitrates
- Show output on screen while encoding
- Generate encoding shell scripts
- Generate quick preview-encodings of parts of source video

Asunder is a graphical CD ripper and encoder. It supports WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC. It has CDDB support and can create M3U playlists.
It uses GTK2 and is desktop environment independent. It is multithreaded, so it can rip and encode at the same time. It aims to make CD ripping as quick and easy as possible.
Main features:
- Support for WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC audio files
- Uses CDDB to name and tag each track
- Can encode to multiple formats in one session
- Creates M3U playlists
- Allows for each track to be by a different artist
- Does not require a specific desktop environment

POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad is a POE Wheel implementing in-session non-blocking mpeg stream playing.

SYNOPSIS

use POE;
use POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad;

POE::Session->create(
inline_states => {
_start => &am_start,
message => &am_message
}
);

sub am_start {
my ($kernel, $heap) = @_[KERNEL, HEAP];

## you may also specify decoder options, listed below..
$heap->{wheel} = new POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad ( message_event => message );

$kernel->yield( decoder_open, {
filename => /path/to/some/stream.mp3,
play => 1
});
}

sub am_message {
my ($kernel, $message) = @_[KERNEL, ARG0];

if ($message->{id} eq INPUT_EOF_WARNING) {

print "finished..n";

undef $heap->{wheel};

} elsif ($message->{id} eq DECODER_FRAME_DATA) {

if (defined($message->{data}->{played})) {

print "rplayed: $message->{data}->{played}";

}
}
}

$poe_kernel->run();
exit();

POE::Wheel::Audio::Mad is an attempt to bring a naitive perl mpeg decoder into a perl session. This module was written to work as a POE Wheel due to its nature -- it simply playes mpeg streams -- you have to do the job of controlling the player and handling updates. This really isnt your traditional wheel.

Edastro places ever changing astrology charts for current time on your desktop.

The package contains 8 themes:

-2 (a black and a white) standard wheel charts
-2 standard wheel charts with hourglass look effect
-2 aspect/midpoint grids
-2 dispositor hierarchy charts

All the themes made in two differend colors, for dark and light desktop (for some dark themes an alternate background included with white shadow). The themes updating every 2 minutes as the sky spins a half degree. Click on the charts to display larger version.

The themes using the unbelievably good freeware ASTROLOG made by Walter D. Pullen (www.astrolog.org). I included an astrolog executable (compiled on 32bit without graphics) in the theme, because probably few able or have time to build it. Imagemagick used to resize images, make them still readable and transparent, and view them.

###To set up a theme:
1, Find out Your location coordinates. You can use these websites:
http://www.astro.com/cgi/aq.cgi?lang=e or http://www.heavens-above.com/countries.asp
2, Extract the theme anywhere, change to that directory and start the !SETUP install script from command line and Answer the questions. Thats all...

###Playing with settings:
Check astrolog.dat config file for the calculation settings. Check the astrolog helpfile from its homepage to read about command line parameters, the 7 chart types etc.

###Possible problems, solutions:
If there is a problem try to rerun the !SETUP script.
If Astrolog executable is not working in Your system, get the source from www.astrolog.org and build a new astrolog, then copy it to the theme folder.

###Known problems:
The theme sometimes flashes on update

IMWheel is a daemon for X11, which watches for mouse wheel actions and outputs them as keypresses.

This is a not so short little ditty that does the simple conversion of mouse button presses into key presses. By grabbing only the 4th and 5th mouse buttons the program is able to receive input from the Intellimouse series mice.

There is also a modified version of gpm included that has, already, support for the Intellimouse, and I added a wheel fifo. The user library may also be used, although this may need to be debugged. See the gpm section below for more.

The wheel button can always be used as middle button, this program does not affect how the XServer, nor GPM, react towards it. A mouse with a wheel button is a 3 button mouse, and should be configured as such!

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.

Kweb2mod is a gui utility to webmount .lzm modules while running a Slackware 12.0/Current based LiveCD.
The initial concept is inspirated by an idea which was posted in the Slax6 todo list of Tomas Matejicek from Slax.org, who invented the Slackware-LiveCD-Wheel by creating the linux-live-scripts available from http://www.linux-live.org.
The modules offered by kweb2mod have to be looked at as a first base - If you think there is a module missing, visit http://live-modules.org.
Remember to check the Slackbrowser for the complete Slackware-current tree converted to .lzm modules.
Main features:
- Mount modules via httpfs
- Dependency checking for modules to be mounted
- Space and bandwidth saving by fetching only modules which are not already installed locally
- Unmount modules in LiveCD mode
- Integration in KDE system menu
- Adjustable to use a custom mirror by editing /etc/web2mod/web2modrc
Enhancements:
- Several scripts to learn how httpfs works.
