Free total conversion software for linux

cvs2svn is a Python script that converts a CVS repository to a Subversion repository. The project is designed for one-time conversions, not for repeated synchronizations between CVS and Subversion.
Enhancements:
- The conversion is now driven explicitly by the CVS dependency graph, giving a more robust conversion and fixing a few subtle bugs that existed in prior releases.
- A new --use-internal-co option has been added.
- It accelerates conversions significantly by avoiding having to use CVS or RCS to extract revision contents.
- Numerous other improvements to the quality of conversion, new conversion options, and bugfixes have been implemented.

UFFS is an ultra low cost flash file system for embedded system.
UFFS is a NAND flash file system designed for embedded system, it performs some unique and advanced features:
Low cost:
For NAND flash with 512 page size:
NAND flash | Total Blocks | Buffers/Caches | Total RAM cost
128M | 8192 | 40/30 | 164K
32M | 2048 | 40/30 | 68K
16M | 1024 | 10/10 | 26K
Tree Nodes: 16 * toatl_blocks
Page Buffers: page_size(512) * buffers (10 ~ pages_per_block)
Block info caches: (14 * pages_per_block) * block_info_caches ( 5 ~ 20)
Total Memory usage = Tree Nodes + Page Buffers + Block info caches + Others(1~2K)
For NAND flash with 2K page size:
NAND flash | Total Blocks | Buffers/Caches | Total RAM cost
512M | 8192 | 40/30 | 180K
128M | 512 | 40/30 | 70K
Tree Nodes: 16 * toatl_blocks
Page Buffers: page_size(2048) * buffers (10 ~ pages_per_block)
Block info caches: (14 * pages_per_block) * block_info_caches ( 5 ~ 20)
Total Memory usage = Tree Nodes + Page Buffers + Block info caches + Others(1~2K)
Fast booting
UFFS read only one spare area for each NAND flash block to build up the in-memory nodes tree. Typically, UFFS needs less then 1 second to mount a full loaded 128 Mbytes NAND flash.
Superb Reliability
Guaranteed integrity across unexpected power losses.
Bad-block tolerant, ECC enable and ware-leveling
Nothing new for flash file system, but UFFS implements these in a simple yet effective way.
No garbage collection needed for UFFS
UFFS collect the dirty blocks on the fly, no garbage collection needed.
Support direct flash interface, no operating system needed
UFFS can be build on top of direct flash interface,easy to port to any embedded system.
Fully tested
UFFS is fully tested on PC (via UFFS PC emulator). Moreover, UFFS is not just proof-of-concept but has been successfully used in real world product for tens of thousands of copies.
What UFFS "IS", "IS NOT" ?
UFFS is not a Linux kernel module.
UFFS is not running in a separated thread rather than application.
UFFS is a library to be linked with your embedded application.
UFFS should be used when JFFS/YAFFS cant be used (because of the insufficient of memory)
UFFS is not the substitute of JFFS or YAFFS.
Why UFFS ?
- Hardware resource is limited (typically 64~512K RAM), but need a reliable flash file system
- JFFS/JFFS2 sucks (useless without Linux/MTD, also memory monster)
- YAFFS/YAFFS2 is excellent, but still consumes too much memory
- Others ? ... not available... (open source of course)
Enhancements:
- Support large page size, e.g. 1K, 2K, support all Samsung NAND flash.

themonospot is a simple application that can be used to scan an avi file and extract some information about audio and video data flow:
- Video codec used
- Frame size
- Average video bitrate
- File size
- Total time
- Frame rate
- Total frames
- Info data
- User data (in MOVI chunk)
- Audio codec used
- Average audio bitrate
- Audio channels
With themonospot is also possible modify FourCC informations (FourCC code in video chunk and FourCC description in stream header).

TA3D is a remake of Total Annihilations engine in full 3D with OpenGl&Allegro. Installing TA3D over Total Annihilation will port Total Annihilation to full 3D!!

TA3D loads maps,units,and more directly from Total Annihilation content. It adds some graphical effects like advanced particle effects for explosions,smoke,... and lots of things you would expect from a 3D engine.

amarok-lcdproc is an Amarok Script for displaying meta tags on a LCD over lcdproc. Until now it is configured to display the following on a 4x20 lcd:

%Songtitle (if too long it will be scrolled)
%Artist (if too long it will be scrolled)
%Album (if too long it will be scrolled)
%current Track Time/ %total Track Time %clock

Usage:

Start your lcdproc-server, start the script, enter everything asked and be happy.

FuseNRG allows you to mount Ahead Nero NRG files on your Unix system with FUSE. On the mounted directory, there will be an ISO file, equivalent to the original NRG file. Such ISO file can be mounted with fuseiso or burned to a CD with cdrecord or even Ahead Nero itself.

Advantages over nrg2iso:

it does not require extra disk space for the ISO file
it does not require extra memory for the ISO file
you dont have to wait for the file to be converted (conversion is done on the fly)

Example:

$mkdir ../testNRG
$ls -la ../testNRG
