Video::Info is a suite of modules to probe video files for various attributes.

Previous versions of Video::Info depended on external modules, such as RIFF::Info and ASF::Info. This is no longer the case, you dont need to install them. All the functionality is now included with the Video::Info distribution.

INSTALLATION:

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test (optional)
make install

Video::Info::FOO is a Perl module for video information.

Video::Info::FOO - what is it useful for? an example list:

-video codec
-audio codec
-frame height
-frame width
-frame count
and more!

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info::FOO;

my $video;

$video->vcodec; #video codec
$video->acodec; #audio codec
...

What does the module do? What are its limitations? Is it built on top of other code? If so, what are the details and where can I get it?

Video::Info::RIFF is a Perl module that can probe DivX and AVI files for attributes like:

-video codec
-audio codec
-frame height
-frame width
-frame count
and more!

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info::RIFF;

my $video;

$video = Video::Info::RIFF->new(-file=>$filename); #like this
$video = Video::Info::RIFF->new(-file=>$filename,-headersize=>$headersize); #or this

$video->vcodec; #video codec
$video->acodec; #audio codec
...

RIFF stands for Resource Interchange File Format, in case you were wondering. The morbidly curious can find out more below in REFERENCES.

Video::Info::Magic can resolve video filetype if possible.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Video::Info::Magic qw(:all);

my $type = divine(/path/to/video.mpg );

print $type; #MPEG system stream data (maybe)

## ... see methods below

EXPORT

various constants related to video file formats. All are prefixed with "VIDEO_".
divine(): Employs /usr/share/magic entries to determine a files type, as well as GUID and other info from Microsoft, mplayer, transcode...

SDL::Video is a SDL perl extension.

SYNOPSIS

$video = new SDL::Video ( -name => pr0n.mpg );

SDL::Video adds support for MPEG video to your SDL Perl application. Videos are objects bound to surfaces, whose playback is controled through the objects interface.

METHODS

SDL::Video::error() returns any error messages associated with playback
SDL::Video::audio(bool) enables or disables audio playback, (on by default)
SDL::Video::video(bool) enables or disable video playback, (on by default)
SDL::Video::loop(bool) enables or disable playback looping (off by default)
SDL::Video::volume(int) set the volume as per the mixer volume
SDL::Video:display(surface) binds the clip to a display surface
SDL::Video::scale([x,y]|[surface]|int) scales the clip by either x,y factors, scales to the image dimensions, or a single scalar.
SDL::Video::play() plays the video clip, call SDL::Video::display() before playing
SDL::Video::pause() pauses video playback
SDL::Video::stop() stops video playback
SDL::Video::rewind() resets the clip to the beginning
SDL::Video::seek(offset) seeks to a particular byte offset
SDL::Video::skip(time) skips to a particular time
SDL::Video::region(rect) takes a SDL::Rect and defines the display area
SDL::Video::frame(int) renders a specific frame to the screen
SDL::Video::info() returns a new SDL::MPEG object reflecting the current status
SDL::Video::status() returns either SMPEG_PLAYING or SMPEG_STOPPED or SMPEG_ERROR

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.

Video::DVDRip is a GUI for copying DVDs, based on an open Low Level API.

This Perl module consists currently of two major components:

1. A low level OO style API for ripping and transcoding DVD video, which is based on Thomas Oestreichs program transcode, a Linux Video Stream Processing Tool. This API is currently well undocumented.

2. A Gtk+ based Perl program called dvd::rip which provides a nice GUI to control all necessary steps from ripping, adjusting all parameters and transcoding the video to the format you desire.

The distribution name is derived from the Perl namespace it occupies:

Video::DVDRip. Although the DVD Ripper GUI is called dvd::rip, because its shorter and easier to pronounce (if you omit the colons...)
