Free quicktime standalone software for linux

Quicktime for Linux lets you read and write Quicktime movies using several codecs. There are many Quicktime libraries for Linux; this one emphasizes reliability and accuracy while not stressing economy.
Also included are frontends to several of the codecs which dont require Quicktime encapsulation, header dump, chunk extraction, and recovery tools.
Enhancements:
- Selectively caching GOP frames to speed up reverse playback. Library upgrades for x264 and ffmpeg.

Libquicktime is a library for reading and writing quicktime files.
Note: libquicktime is in no way related to the original quicktime software, which can be found here. You should not expect all quicktime files created by original software to be playable by libquicktime or vice versa. You might, however, be lucky in some cases.
Furthermore, its is no longer a development goal to support as many codecs as possible. Instead we want to keep things simple and provide a library, which can create reasonable compatible Quicktime and AVI files either uncompressed (for high-end or production applications) or with decent compression codecs for end user applications.
On the decoder side, the goal is that libquicktime should at least be able to decode its own files. If other decoders can be added with a reasonable amount of labour, they will be supported as well. If you are looking for a general purpose library, which supports other formats than Quicktime/AVI and many more codecs, try gmerlin_avdecoder or ffmpeg.
Main features:
- Sourcetree upgraded with autoconf/automake/libtool and all the other stuff, people like in "standard" linux libraries.
- All 3rd party libraries (jpeg, OggVorbis) were removed to reduce download size, compilation time and code duplication on users harddisks. Instead, the sytemwide installed libaries are autodetected by the configure script.
- All codecs have been moved into dynamically loadable modules. This makes it possible to distribute closed source codecs (or codecs with an incompatible license) as separate packages.
- Unlike other quicktime libraries, we are source compatible with quicktime4linux.
- The codecs themselves are also source compatible with quicktime4linux, so porting codecs between quicktime4linux and libquicktime requires only little brain load.
- Special API extensions allow access to the codec registry. Applications can get important information about the codecs, their settable parameters etc. at runtime.
- Libquicktime 0.9.4 introduced support for handling QTVR files. QTVR is a technology to store panoramas and interactive "3D pictures" (Object Movies) in Quicktime files. For more information check out this document.
- The current implementation allows developers to write applications that display and/or create QTVR V1.0 object movies and panoramas.
Although its usable there are a few limitations:
- the newer versions of the QTVR format arent supported (yet)
- no multinode support
- no abstraction of the movie structure. That means the application writer has to take care of which frame to decode when (object movies) and how to piece them together (panoramas) (see http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1036.html and http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1035.html for information about that)
- no documentation
Enhancements:
- Support for text tracks. These can be either Subtitles or Chapters.
- Lots of fixes
- gettext support, German translation.

reacTIVision is an open source, cross-platform computer vision framework for the fast and robust tracking of fiducial markers in a real-time video stream. reacTIVision project was mainly designed for the rapid development of table-based tangible user interfaces.

Its tracking core is using Ross Bencinas fidtrack library which is basically a newer high-performance implementation of Enrico Costanzas original d-touch concept. This framework was developed by Martin Kaltenbrunner et.al. at the Music Technology Group, IUA, UPF in Barcelona, Spain as part of the reacTable* project, a novel electro-acoustic musical instrument with a tangible user interface.

reacTIVision is a standalone application, which sends OpenSound Control messages via a UDP network socket to any connected client application. It implements the TUIO protocol, which was specially designed for transmitting the state of tangible objects on a table surface. This framework includes a set of free example client projects for various programming languages, which serve as a base for the easy development of tangible-user interface applications.

The reacTIVision application compiles and runs under the follwing operating systems: Win32, MacOS X and Linux. Under Win32 it suports any camera with a proper WDM driver, such as USB, USB2, FireWire and DV cameras. Equally under MacOS X any such camera supported by QuickTime will work in reacTIVision. Under Linux, FireWire cameras are best supported, as well as a few Video4Linux USB cameras.

NEW: Support the reacTIVision project and buy T-Shirts, posters and other merchandise featuring the reacTIVision fiducial symbols in our web-shop! All designs on these products can be recognized and tracked by the actual reacTIVision software.

Application Handling

Before starting the reacTIVision application make sure you have a supported camera connected to your system. The application can and will not work at all without a camera. Under Win32 and MacOS X the application will ask to select and configure the camera upon startup. Under Linux the camera will be selected automatically. Once configured the application will show a video window with the current camera image in black&white.

Pressing T will show the binary tresholded image, pressing the N key will turn the display off, which reduces its CPU usage significantly!

Pressing the S key will return to the original source image. For convenience and debugging porposes hitting the R key saves a raw image frame, while hitting the B key will save an image in the BMP format.

The P pauses the image analysis completely, hitting ESC will quit the application. The F key toggles the diplay of FPS info in the titlebar. In order to produce some more verbose debugging output, hitting the V key will print the currently recognized symbols to the console.

Command Line Options

The reacTIVision application per default sends the TUIO messages to port 3333 on localhost (127.0.0.1)

In order to change these parameters you can invoke the application with the -h [ip-address] and -p [port-no] options.

reacTIVision needs a so called "tree file" in order to function properly. The default "all.trees" is included and loaded automatically. If you want to use you own tree file you can invoke the application with the -t [tree-file] option.

Optionally if you dont want to analyze the complete image - for example in a square or round table setup - the application can mask a part of the video image with a black region, which speeds up the segmentation algorithm. In order to apply this mask You can invoke the application with the -m [square,circle] option.

Applying the -h or -help option will print a usage message to the console.

Calibration and Distortion

Some tables, such as the reacTable are using a convex mirror in order to increase the area visible to the camera at a minimal distance. This mirror as well as a fish-eye lens unfortunately distort the image. reactIVision includes a correction algorithm, which corrects this distortion with the help of a so called "grid file". These grid files can be generated during a prior calibration process.

To calibrate reacTIVision invoke the application with the option: reacTIVision -c 9 -g [grid_file]

In order to use the this calibration invoke the application with: reacTIVision -g [grid_file]

Remote Secure Command System project is a remote asynchronous and secure command system based on a file configuration.

A standalone server sends and receives commands through files, and a batch system launch ssh and scp commands.

NRPG Ratiomaster is a small standalone application which fakes upload and download stats of a torrent to almost all bittorrent trackers.

This means that it does NOT rely on your bittorrent client (uTorrent, Azureus, etc.) and it will NOT download/upload the files on a torrent - it only can fake download/upload.

The application has hardcoded emulations for the most commonly used BitTorrent clients: uTorrent, BitComet, Azureus, ABC, BitLord, BTuga, BitTornado, Burst, BitTyrant, BitSpirit.
