Free flash video format software for linux

PSP Video Converter project is a simple graphical frontend to ffmpeg to allow you to easily convert your videos to PSP compatibile format. Works for me, thought I may share.

Note: Created with Kommander 1.3, not sure if it works with earlier Kommander.

Note: There is no error checking for now, so make sure you have a working ffmpeg with necessary codecs installed.

Note: Looks like some PSPs cant open h264 videos encoded with ffmpeg.

Flash for Linux project is a development environment for Macromedia Flash, a format widely used for web applications and vector animation.
F4L is in such early stages of design that it is not recommended for use by people without knowlege of C++, QT, Ming, etc.
F4L is a clone, or imitation, of a Macromedia, Inc. product called Flash. The most current version of Flash is MX 2004. Flash is designed to help people make programs that can be used on any computer and that can be distributed over the Internet.
Flash can even be easily included in a web page. Most browsers include a plug-in that allows users to view Flash content in web pages. If you do not have this plug-in, you may wish to visit http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/ to get it for Mozilla (or compatible), Opera, Internet Explorer, AOL, OS X, OS 9, Pocket PC, OS/2, Irix, Solaris, or HP-UX for free.
Flash offers easy development of professional applications. Flash development is based mostly on a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Through the GUI, a developer can draw their application on the screen. Drawings can be converted to animations, buttons, and other features with the development environments menus and dialog boxes.
Competing methods of development, such as C++, Java or JavaScript, require technical knowledge of a special programming language and mathematics. A Flash applications GUI features are extremely limited compared to a programming language based project. To compensate for this weakness, Macromedia added Action Scripts to Flash.
Action Scripts are a sort of programming language, but there are only a few commands to learn, and they are selected off a menu. Action Scripting is equivalent to programming a graphing calculator with BASIC; it should not take you more than a few days to learn, if you have the patience to read boring instructions.
While Flash can be developed with very few Action Scripts, the scripts add to the interactivity of the application. Most web sites using Flash do not use Action Scripts intensively, with the exception of games. Flash can also work with JavaScript.
Enhancements:
- The program can now export simple objects like images, lines, rectangles, ovals (ellipses), and text.
- The "locate" command is used to find the TrueType font files needed for text.

Google Video Downloader is a Firefox extension that adds a button in the status bar. You can download the source .flv or .avi file directly in two clicks

If You:

- Would like to download files from other videohostings;
- Have DownThemAll od FlashGot;
- Would like to permanently choose preferred Google Video format.

FLV::VideoTag is a flash video file data structure Perl module.

METHODS

This is a subclass of FLV::Base.

$self->parse($fileinst)

Takes a FLV::File instance and extracts an FLV video tag from the file stream. This method throws exceptions if the stream is not a valid FLV v1.0 or v1.1 file.

There is no return value.

Note: this method needs more work to extract the codec specific data.

$self->serialize()

Returns a byte string representation of the tag data. Throws an exception via croak() on error.

$self->get_info()

Returns a hash of FLV metadata. See File::Info for more details.

Iris is a video conversion utility in C++ that works as a front-end to mencoder. Iris Video Conversion Utility can run in command-line or graphical modes and currently supports conversion to DVD MPEG, DivX AVI and VCD MPEG
This software intends to ease video conversion to common formats.
Help Wanted / TODO
- Cancel button does not always work
- More output formats
- Reset values for command-line format paramater
- re-work stderr redirection
- catch and identify mencoder conditions

Video::Info can retrieve video properties such as: height width codec fps.

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info;

my $info = Video::Info->new(-file=>my.mpg);

$info->fps();
$info->aspect();
## ... see methods below

Video::Info is a factory class for working with video files. When you create a new Video::Info object (see methods), something like this will happen: 1) open file, determine type. See Video::Info::Magic. 2) attempt to create object of appropriate class (ie, MPEG::Info for MPEG files, RIFF::Info for AVI files). 3) Probe the file for various attributes 4) return the created object, or a Video::Info object if the appropriate class is unavailable.

Currently, Video::Info can create objects for the following filetypes:

Module Filetype
-------------------------------------------------
Video::Info::ASF ASF
MP3::Info MPEG Layer 2, MPEG Layer 3
Video::Info::MPEG MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG 2.5
Video::Info::RIFF AVI, DivX
Video::Info::Quicktime MOV, MOOV, MDAT, QT
And support is planned for:
Module Filetype
-------------------------------------------------
Video::Info::Real RealNetworks formats

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.

The Compact Flash Linux Project is a Linux distribution designed to run on a compact flash card in read-only mode. It is as small as possible, and currently needs around 14 MB.
Compact Flash Linux Project includes OpenSSH, quagga, iptables, hostap, madwifi, wireless-tools, pppoe, tcpdump, bridge-utils, and more. The initial release was v0.1.1, dated January 8, 2004. Version 0.1.4 was released July 23, 2004.
Enhancements:
- Many packages were upgraded.
- The package manager was improved a bit.
