Free quicktime software for linux

Video::OpenQuicktime is an interface to the OpenQuicktime library.

SYNOPSIS

use Video::OpenQuicktime;

my $qt = Video::OpenQuicktime->new(file=>"sample.mov");
$qt->get_video_height;
$qt->get_audio_compression;
$qt->get_audio_samplerate;

From the OpenQuicktime site, http://www.openquicktime.org:

"OpenQuicktime aims to be a portable library for handling Apples QuickTime(TM) popular media files on Unix-like environments. It is aim is to provide encoding, authoring and editing support as well as video playback."

OpenQuicktime is currently able to decode as well as encode video and audio streams. The Video::OpenQuicktime library currently only supports extracting diagnostic information from Quicktime files, such as video dimensions, codecs used, and play length.

I would like to add support for video and audio demux at some point, but dont have the time to develop it right now. Given sufficient user interest or free time, Ill do it. Patches are also welcome in case anyone else wants to help me out, see the contact information below.

jBitcollider is an application which can be used to lookup/submit files to Bitzi.
The Bitcollider utility allows users to uniquely identify and submit files to Bitzis community metadatabase project.
The Bitcollider can be used to identify any local file and has support for extracting metadata from MP3, WAV, Vorbis, JPEG, PNG, GIF, AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and QuickTime files.
Users can quickly look up all the known information about the given file in Bitzis metadatabase.
Main features:
- Processes files larger than 2GB in size.
- Offers the graphical interface, and drag-and-drop Bitcolliding, on non-Windows systems for the first time.
- Improves reliability of submission via browser

Users can quickly look up all the known information about the given file in Bitzis metadatabase.
Enhancements:
- The kzhash identifier used by Kazaa 2.6 and up is now calculated. (As a result, MAGNET links at Bitzi can include this identifier and work with Kazaa.)
- A video format plugin now extracts and submits information such as framerate, framesize, duration,bitrate, and codec from most AVI, MPEG1/2, and QuickTime videos.
- A problem in the original construction of the TigerTree hash value has been corrected. (Only values from updated software display at theBitzi website.)
- Calculation of MD5 and CRC32 values is now optional.

Tk::MultiMediaControls is a Perl module to create media player control buttons.

SYNOPSIS

$mmc = $parent->MultiMediaControls(-option => value, ... );

Create multimedia controls similar to that found on Apple applications like QuickTime, iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, etcetera. This mega-widget accepts a -buttons option that specifies a list of controller buttons, and a series of specialized options that bind callbacks to those buttons.

-buttons

A list of controller buttons: [ qw/ home rewind play stop fastforward / ]. You supply the callbacks that implement the above buttons, which nominally have this effect on the movie:

home - reset movie to first frame
rewind - play movie in fast reverse
play - a toggle: play movie at normal speed / pause movie
stop - stop movie (reset to first frame?)
fastforward - play movie in fast forward

-fastcommand
-fasthighlightcommand
-homecommand
-homehighlightcommand
-leftcommand
-pausecommand
-pausehighlightcommand
-playcommand
-playhighlightcommand
-rewindcommand
-rewindhighlightcommand
-rightcommand
-stopcommand
-stophighlightcommand

Callbacks that are invoked when control buttons are pressed or released. Callbacks that include the string highlight are invoked when Button-1 is pressed and held. With the exception of the -leftcommand and -rightcommand, all other callbacks are invoked when Button-1 is released.

Three keys have special meanings that parallel Apples bindings. The space bar (space) is bound to toggle the play/pause button. The left-arrow (Left) and right-arrow (Right) should, if possible, display the previous or next movie frame. Use -leftcommand and -rightcommand for this.

Hachoir metadata can extract metadata from archives (bzip2, gzip, zip, tar), audio (MPEG audio/MP3, WAV, Sun/NeXT audio, Ogg/Vorbis, MIDI, AIFF, AIFC, Real Audio), images (BMP, CUR, EMF, ICO, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIFF, WMF, XCF), and video (ASF/WMV, AVI, Matroska, Quicktime, Ogg/Theora, Real Media).
It supports invalid or truncated files and Unicode text. It can remove duplicate values. Hachoir metadata project can also filter metadata according to priority.
Main features:
- Support invalid / truncated files
- Unicode compliant (charset ISO-8859-XX, UTF-8, UTF-16), convert string to your terminal charset
- Remove duplicate values (and if a string is a substring of another, just keep the longest one)
- Set priority to value, so its possible to filter metadata (option --level)
- Only depends on hachoir-parser (and not on libmatroska, libmpeg2, libvorbis, etc.)
Enhancements:
- This release reads the number of channels, bit rate, and sample rate, and computes the compression rate of Real Audio.
- It reads user comments of JPEG pictures.
- It computes the frame rate of Windows ANI.
- It normalizes language for ID3 and MKV.
- OLE2 and FLV extractors are now fault tolerant.
