SYNOPSIS

$ff = FFmpeg->new(); #see FFmpeg
#...
$sg = $ff->create_streamgroup(); #see FFmpeg
$st = ($sg->streams())[0]; #this is a FFmpeg::Stream

Objects of this class are not intended to be instantiated directly by the end user. Access FFmpeg::Stream::Video objects using methods in FFmpeg::StreamGroup. See FFmpeg::StreamGroup for more information.

This class represents a video stream in a multimedia stream group. General stream attributes can be found in the FFmpeg::Stream class.

I like using Amarok for managing my podcasts but I wasnt able to play my video podcasts.

Amarok Video Player adds a PlayVideo/Play menu item to the context menu which runs KMPlayer.

Edit the script to change KMplayer to another video player.

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.

Download Youtube video is a Konqueror service menu to download and encode youtube videos.
This is a hack of another service menu that stoped working (at least for me): http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=37509
Main features:
- Download videos with the KDE file copy dialog instead of using KGet
- Automatically encode videos with mencoder, or just download
You can use ffmpeg too, just comment out the right lines in the python file, Im unable to encode some videos with ffmpeg, so mencoder is the default

WWW::Google::Video is a fetch the Google Video Information.

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Google::Video;

$foo=new WWW::Google::Video;

$foo->fetch(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1808273720725631796);
# The Google Video Page URL, such as http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=blahblahblah

print $foo->{url},"n"; # Google Video FLV Original File URL !!
print $foo->{length},"n"; # Video Length Information
print $foo->{name},"n"; # Video Name Information

foreach(@{ $foo->{pic} }){ # By using Reference to an Array
print $_,"n"; # To show the preview pictures.
}

The WWW::Google::Video is a class implementing a interface for fetch the Google Video Information.

To use it, you should create WWW::Google::Video object and use its method fetch(), to fetch the information of Video.

It uses LWP::Simple for making request to Google.

mpeg2videotools is a C library and set of tools for encoding, decoding, verification and analysis of MPEG-2 video. It supports 422 Profile and High Profile bitstreams. A PSNR tool is included for comparing uncompressed video to encoded MPEG-2 video.
The library will provide a C API and be implemented in C. Platforms supported will be popular Unices and Linux, MS Windows and MacOSX. autoconf and automake will be used to achieve portability for most platforms. Decoded bitstreams will be displayed using X11 server for Unix and native Windows API for MS Windows.
Included is an encoder and decoder application which are useful for creating compliant bitstreams and decoding and verifying MPEG-ES, MPEG-PS, MPEG-PES and MPEG-TS bitstreams.
A number of important improvements over the original SSG code have already been made:
display on TrueColor visuals (16, 24, 32 bit displays)
decoding of MPEG-TS streams
decoding of broken streams which do not start with a required start code
autoconf build
MS Windows display
a library API to enable its use in other projects (ImageMagick and the AAF SDK come to mind)
MIAMI is an MPEG-2 video codec library which aims to be a complete implementation of the ISO/IEC 13812-2:2000 standard. The priority is completeness and correctness rather than speed. Included is an encoder and a decoder for MPEG-ES,PS,PES,TS bitstreams.
Enhancements:
- changed function decs to ANSI style
- added const qualifier to suitable function args
