Free flash video encoder software for linux

iPod Video Encoder is a command line tool for convenient encoding of video files for use on iPod video. iPod Video Encoder project uses the ffmpeg tool for the actual encoding.
It features recursive encoding of all files in a directory, and generating a podcast.xml file for convenient use in iTunes.
It can be used in a cron job that periodically checks directories for new files and encodes them without user intervention.
Main features:
- Encoding of single files
- Optional specification of a/v bitrates
- Recursively encode all files in a directory
- Generating a podcast.xml for convenient use in iTunes
Options:
--version show programs version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-R, --recursive Process directories recusively
-f, --force Force re-encode existing iPod videos
-t, --test Only encode first 10 seconds, to produce test videos
-e EXTENSIONS, --extensions=EXTENSIONS
Comma separated list of input extensions. Default: avi
-i IPODEXT, --ipodext=IPODEXT
iPod extension. Default: .ipod.mp4
-b VIDEO_RATE, --video-rate=VIDEO_RATE
Video bit rate, in kbps (default: 1024)
-a AUDIO_RATE, --audio-rate=AUDIO_RATE
Audio bit rate, in kbps (128)
-W WIDTH, --width=WIDTH
Video width, in pixels (default: 320)
-H HEIGHT, --height=HEIGHT
Video height, in pixels (default: 240)
-P, --pretend Do not really encode, just print out the ffmpeg
commands which would be executed
-v, --verbose Enable verbose output
Podcast options:
-p, --podcast Generate a podcast.xml file for each directory.
--podcast-documentroot=PODCAST_DOCUMENTROOT
Podcast document root; eg. /var/data/Movies/
--podcast-baseurl=PODCAST_BASEURL
Podcast base URL; eg. http://localhost/
Enhancements:
- Only uses the -e option for processing directories.
- The default ipod extension is now _ipod.mp4 for Windows compatibility.
- The README file has been extended with information on the .ipod-encoder settings file.
- The program no longer crashes when HOME is not set on Windows.
- --width and --height parameters have been added.

Linux Video Editor provides frame and GOP accurate editing of MPEG1/2 files. Video scenes are handled as thumbnails movable by drag and drop.
Final videos can be build with or without re-encoding. Tools for shrinking and DVD authoring are also available.
Enhancements:
- lvedump/lve: new options "-ts" and "-pes" to produce TS-Stream (=DVB transport stream) or PES-stream output.
- Some minor bugfixes.

Fast Video Download enables you to save embedded video files from various video-hosting servers.
Fast Video Download can save embedded video files from following video-hosting servers:
Angry Alien, Anime Episodes, Anime Forever, Bad Jojo, Blip.TV, Bo-Funk, Bolt, Break.com, Bubblare.dk, CollegeHumor.com, Current.TV, Daily Motion, Danerd.com, eVideo Share, Google Video, Grinvi, iFilm, Libero.IT Video, HI5 (VideoEgg), My Space, MetaCafe, News.NTV.ru, PornoTube, Put File, Streetfire, Totally Crap, You Tube, V-Social and Vidiac.
Main features:
- Just in ONE click on the status-bar or custom toolbar icon, FVD immediately open the regular "Save As" dialog with already placed video title and extension.
- FVD supports additional video formats at Video, Break.com, Blip.TV. You can choose desired format via Preferences.
- FVD is able to pick any multimedia links from embeded objects on ordinary pages
- If theres only single link, standard dialog open immediately. Otherwise, links are listed in pop-up window.
- Processing of embedded YouTube video objects: Special download link will appear under every embedded YouTube Flash-Player posted on common pages such as blogs and web-boards.
- At last, FVD supports DownThemAll and FlashGot: You can turn on interaction with your desired download manager in preferences.

This application is particularly useful for owners of digital DV video cameras and other people who use the Sony DV video format for high quality video production.

DV Assembler allows you to append multiple Sony DV files with nice looking transition effects for both audio and video. Multiple transition effects are supported, like cross-fade, zoom, blur and a flash effect.

I created DV Assembler because there are no user friendly video editing applications for Linux. Yes, Kino is promising, but its user interface is still a mess and development is slow.

DV Assembler only touches the head and tail parts of the original video files that are needed to create the transition effects. The rest of the video is left untouched, which means zero quality loss.

DV Assembler can also be used to generate video editing scripts that can be run without KDE and Kommander.

PlayStation Portable Video Converter (PSPVC) is a FFMPEG front-end to convert video files for the PSP. PlayStation Portable Video Converter allow you to queue severals conversions with different parameters for each.

Formats:

* MPEG4/SP (all firmware)
* H264/AVC (firmware 2.0+)

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

Flash! Torrent is a BitTorrent client that includes a small web browser for navigate in the webs about BitTorrent.

BitTorrent is a programl for distributing files. Its extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once
they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central servers bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server
remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity.

Windows web browser support is added by running an installer. A prebuilt one is available, but instructions for building it yourself are in BUILD.windows.txt
