FFmpeg::Stream::Video is a video stream from a (multi)media stream group.

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.

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.

MPEG Audio/Video Player is a simple MPEG and AC3 player for Linux, BSD, and Windows systems.
It plays MPEG transport, program, and elementary stream files. It also has basic DVD support (using libdvdnav on Linux/BSD sytems only).
Main features:
- Runs on Windows, Linux, and BSD systems.
- Plays MPEG Transport Stream, Program Stream, and Elementary Stream files.
- Basic DVD support (with libdvdnav on Linux/BSD systems only).
- Decodes MPEG 1&2 Video, MPEG Layer 2 Audio, and AC3 audio.
- All decoders use only integer operations, for faster performance.
- Flexible, and easy to use decoders, that can decode streams in chunks as small as 1 byte (buffering is not necessary).

Video server is a streaming video server which feeds a Java applet/application for display. The updates are rather slow, somewhere in the 10 frames/second range on a PIII. The server is written in Bigloo scheme and C. The client is written in Java.

To bring up the video server you have to do the following.

./vs --channel 25 --sd 12 --input 0

./vs --help
for more options. (This seems broken with the newest version of bigloo .... )

How to bring up a java client to connect to a server:
Insure that video/java is in your classpath, and invoke

java vpanel servername

Senator provides an ASF video stream server.

Senator is an implementation of a Microsoft ASF stream server that runs under Linux. Users can connect to it using Media Player and the HTTP stream protocol. Skipping and searching in the video stream is supported.

Currently there is a version you can download. This version uses the HTTP stream protocol so you can search trough the file using the Media Player.

The author of this software wiches to remain anonymous for now since the ASF protocol is (c) Microsoft and Im not sure if they are very happy with a server implementation running @ linux.

Want to watch Youtube video, but you dont have Flash plugin? (ex: gnu/linux ppc os), so try this great script to watch STREAMING VIDEOS from Youtube! You dont need to download video on your disk, you can stream directly the FLV videos from Youtube!

MPlayer Youtube Video Streamer lets you watch YouTube videos even if you dont have the flash plugin.

Usage: myvs [options] video_url

Options:

-h, --help print this help text and exit
-v, --version print program version and exit
-u USERNAME, --username=USERNAME account username
-p PASSWORD, --password=PASSWORD account password
-o FILE, --output=FILE output video file name
-q, --quiet activates quiet mode
-s, --stream do not download video, but stream directly by mplayer
-C, --cache set a cache of 300k, for slow connection
-c, --cycle cycle 20 times while youtube redirect to vo.llnwd.net (that streams .flv)
-t, --title use title in file name
-n, --netrc use .netrc authentication data
-O, --streamonly Force the script to stream only, if it doesnt find a valid stream server simply quit

Who to use it with Firefox:

Now I will explain you how to get it working with Firefox,

First we need a Firefox extension called: Lanchy,
this extension give us the ability to open directly from Firefox Youtube video on youtube webpage (not on all webpages that have a youtube video!

You ALWAYS need the youtube videos webpage! After you have installed Launchy (from firefoxs addon site), restart Firefox, now it will ask you to insert a Launchys button on your toolbar (DO IT! so open Youtube videos will be very simply), after that go on the preferences/option of this extension and uncheck the option: "search automatically programs".

Now copy the "launchy.xml" file that you found on the package and copy it on your directory:
".mozilla/firefox/YOUR_ID.default/chrome/" , after copied it, please dont forget to edit it with your myvs.py COMPLETE PATH, and add or delete oppurtune option to pass to the script.

Now restart again firefox an watch if it recognise the command (by pressing the G).

Go on youtube.com, open a video webpage, click on the G button-> Open in Mplayer Youtube Video Streamer.

Video::Xine is a Perl interface to libxine.

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Xine;

# Create and initialize the Xine object
my $xine = Video::Xine->new(
config_file => "$ENV{HOME}/.xine/config",
);

# Load a video driver
my $video_driver = Video::Xine::Driver::Video->new($xine,"auto",1,$x11_visual);

# Create a new stream (put your video driver under $DRIVER)
my $stream = $xine->stream_new(undef,$DRIVER);

# Open a file on the stream
$stream->open(file://my/movie/file.avi)
or die "Couldnt open stream: ", $stream->get_error();

# Get the current position (0 .. 65535), position in time, and length
# of stream in milliseconds
my ($pos, $pos_time, $length_time) = $stream->get_pos_length();

# Start the stream playing
$stream->play()
or die "Couldnt play stream: ", $xine->get_error();

# Play the stream to the end
while ( $stream->get_status() == XINE_STATUS_PLAY ) {
sleep(1);
}

A perl interface to Xine, the Linux movie player. More properly, an interface to libxine, the development library. Requires installation of libxine.

Xine by itself does not provide a user interface, and neither does this interface. Instead, you must set up the window using your own windowing code, and pass the window information to Xine.

FFmpeg::Stream is an audio or video stream from a (multi)media file.

SYNOPSIS

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

FFmpeg::Stream objects are not instantiated. Rather, objects are instantiated from FFmpeg::Streams subclasses FFmpeg::Stream::Video for video streams, FFmpeg::Stream::Audio for audio streams, and FFmpeg::Stream::Data for streams containing neither audio nor video data. Streams identified in the file whose content type cannot be determined are represented by FFmpeg::Stream::Unknown objects.

Access FFmpeg::Stream objects using methods in FFmpeg::StreamGroup. See FFmpeg::StreamGroup for more information.

This class has attributes applicable to any stream type in a multimedia stream, or stream group. FFmpeg-Perl represents multimedia stream group information in a FFmpeg::StreamGroup object, which is a composite of FFmpeg::Stream objects.

FFmpeg::Stream objects dont do much. They just keep track of the media streams ID within the multimedia stream group, and hold an instance to a FFmpeg::Codec object if the codec of the stream was deducible. See FFmpeg::Codec for more information about how codecs are represented.
