Free video file formats software for linux

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...

Video::Info can retrieve video properties such as: height width codec fps.

SYNOPSIS

Video::Info is a factory class for working with video files. When you create a new Video::Info object (see methods), something like this will happen: 1) open file, determine type. See Video::Info::Magic. 2) attempt to create object of appropriate class (ie, MPEG::Info for MPEG files, RIFF::Info for AVI files). 3) Probe the file for various attributes 4) return the created object, or a Video::Info object if the appropriate class is unavailable.

Currently, Video::Info can create objects for the following filetypes:

Module Filetype
-------------------------------------------------
Video::Info::ASF ASF
MP3::Info MPEG Layer 2, MPEG Layer 3
Video::Info::MPEG MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG 2.5
Video::Info::RIFF AVI, DivX
Video::Info::Quicktime MOV, MOOV, MDAT, QT
And support is planned for:
Module Filetype
-------------------------------------------------
Video::Info::Real RealNetworks formats

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.

VideoLinux is a Linux distribution that focuses on video encoding and conversion.
Out of the box, it provides the tools a professional would need to encode, convert, and edit video in various formats.
VideoLinux also uses Wine to incorporate pre-installed Windows applications.
VideoLinux is a new Distribution I am putting together, it will be focused entirely on DVD Backups, Video Encoding / Transcoding, DVD Authoring, Format Conversion and hopefully pretty much anything else you want to do with Video.
I hope to be adding a Community Forum and a documentation WIKI soon
What I am looking for is Volunteers to help me with this project, ideally have an interest in the subject, I need people to do some graphics particularly a Logo to start with. Anybody with Linux & Wine experience (and not just drinking it)
I have decided on 4 win Apps I will include in the Distro they will be VirtualDubMod 1.5.10. VobBlanker 2.0.1.0. DVD Rebuilder 0.96 Freeware Version.
Enhancements:
- I am pleased to announce the release of hopefully the last alpha release for testing and feedback. The next release will be a beta release. There are many new packages and upgrades including: upgraded to customised 2.6.15 kernel by ocilent1; customised X.Org server by Thac to provide additional 3D support for many graphics cards; WINE upgraded to 0.9.16; added xDVDShrink 2.6.1; added Cinelerra 2.0.

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?

Many users prefer Gnome Window Manager but cant go without Amarok. Gnome Play Video in Totem allows Gnome Users to view video or audio externally in Totem.

This is very useful for Video Podcasts.

thin liquid film project is an application which allows linux users to quickly and easily convert video files into a format suitable for playing on the video capable ipods. I wrote this application, after purchasing a video ipod, and being frustrated that the only real option for converting video was either via command-line, or via a servicemenu with no ability to configure the resulting video file.
TLF uses the ffmpeg engine to do the encoding. It is written in pyqt, so it should work with a default kde installation, and is very easy to install.
