Free video dvdrip software for linux

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...)

video-entropyd is a program to add entropy data from video4linux devices to the kernel random driver.
For security reasons (when doing network traffic or generating secure keys for example) one wants as much entropy-data in the kernel random-driver as possible. The random-driver takes partially care for this. But in situations in where theres a lot of demand for entropy-data, it might not be able to gather enough entropy-data by itself.
Thats where this program is for: adding entropy-data to the kernel-driver. It does that by fetching 2 images from a video4linux-device (with a random delay in between), calculating the difference between those two and then calculating the number of information-bits in that data. After that, the data with the number-of-entropy-bits is submitted to the kernel-random-driver.
After that, the program exits (when run from crontab) or sleeps a random time before redoing the same process.
Enhancements:
- This version checks the quality of the data it feeds to the /dev/random-device to see if the data is really random.
- Extra logging has been added.

PSP Video Converter project is a simple graphical frontend to ffmpeg to allow you to easily convert your videos to PSP compatibile format. Works for me, thought I may share.

Note: Created with Kommander 1.3, not sure if it works with earlier Kommander.

Note: There is no error checking for now, so make sure you have a working ffmpeg with necessary codecs installed.

Note: Looks like some PSPs cant open h264 videos encoded with ffmpeg.

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.

Gaim Video and Voice Support is a friendly fork of the gaim project to concentrate on video and voice support, which will eventually be backported.

Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is a digital satellite receiver program using Linux and DVB technologies. Video Disk Recorder can record MPEG2 streams, as well as output the stream to TV. It also supports plugins for DVD, DivX, or MP3 playback and more.
Main features:
- Operation entirely via DVB cards On Screen Display and infrared control (LIRC/RCU) or keyboard
- Support for multiple DVB cards (up to four, at least one full featured card with video out required) and "conditional access" (CICAM)
- Channel groups
- EPG display by channel or by time ("Whats on now/next")
- Timers: Programming via EPG or manually, priority/lifetime model, single-shot or repeating timers which use EPG subtitle info as recordings title additionally
- Recording storage on disk: Automatically splitting of recording into files (<<less
