Free video information software for linux

Mobile Device Information project is a Java Swing application that provides desktop interface access to the WURFL (Wireless Universal Resource FiLe).
The WURFL contains information about the capabilities of a huge number of wireless devices.
The project has been created by me (Jim McLachlan), a software consultant specialising in Java projects for mobile devices (primarily J2METM clients with J2EETM back-ends).
Part of my consultancy work has been the "education" of clients to the limitations of the cross-platform nature of Java on mobile devices. I have regularly had to field questions like "Is the < mobile device > MIDP-1.0 or MIDP-2.0 compliant?" and "How many different MIDP-2.0 devices are there?".
As part of my recent web site development, where I intend to sell my J2ME applications, I found myself in need of some "rich content" that would be useful to consumers and not just developers. Hopefully, this tool will be useful to people wanting to know more about their devices.
Enhancements:
- This release finally resolves problems with the id pseudo-capability.
- Version 1.2 caused make/model data to be hidden; 1.2.1 fixed this, but added a bug which used the fallback instead of the current "id".

Java + information flow (Jif in short) is a security-typed programming language that extends Java with support for information flow control and access control, both at compile time and at run time.

The source code for the Jif compiler and run-time system is now available for download. Jif is written in Java and is built using the Polyglot extensible Java compiler framework.

Static information flow control can protect the confidentiality and integrity of information manipulated by computing systems. The compiler tracks the correspondence between information the policies that restrict its use, enforcing security properties end-to-end within the system. After checking information flow within Jif programs, the Jif compiler translates them to Java programs and uses an ordinary Java compiler to produce secure executable programs.

Jif extends Java by adding labels that express restrictions on how information may be used. For example, the following variable declaration declares not only that the variable x is an int, but also that the information in x is governed by a security policy:

int {Alice→Bob} x;

In this case, the security policy says that the information in x is controlled by the principal Alice, and that Alice permits this information to be seen by the principal Bob. The policy {Alice←Bob} means that information is owned by Alice, and that Alice permits it to be affected by Bob. Based on label annotations like these, the Jif compiler analyzes information flows within programs, to determines whether they enforce the confidentiality and integrity of information.

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...

Single Source information Server provides a set of applets for sharing information from a single source.
The Single Source Infomation Server is a suite of applets designed to share information from a single source, a set of MySQL tables, with as many other systems as possible, starting with PHP, Palm OS PDAs, LDAP, and WAP.
The first part of this project will create a set of PHP pages to edit the information inside a simple set of tables.
This will be the first bi-directional applet (DONE). Following on from there will the ability to export some of this data into a format that can be used by the file link feature in HotSync (DONE), a bi-directional PDA sync (DONE) and by an LDAP server applet, the ability to print single address labels onto a Dymo / CoStar label printer, print envelopes and create a mail-merge export for letters.
If we can work out or get the spec, we will write a QuickBooks timer export for the datebook, and allow import/export of vCal, iCal and vCards.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a number of bugs and adds some new functionality, includine LDAP.
- After this release we will be making a major re-write to the coldsync conduits, so the next release will be an alpha release of Version 0.2

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

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info;

my $info = Video::Info->new(-file=>my.mpg);

$info->fps();
$info->aspect();
## ... see methods below

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

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::ASF is a Perl module for ASF files for attributes like:

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

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info::ASF;

my $video;

$video = Video::Info::ASF->new(-file=>$filename); #like this

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

ASF stands for Advanced Systems Format, in case you were wondering. It used to stand for Active Streaming Format, but Microsoft decided to change it. This type of file is primarily used to store audio & video data for local or streaming playback. It can also be embedded with commands (to launch a web browser, for instance), for an "immersive" experience. ASF is similar in structure to RIFF. (See RIFF::Info). The morbidly curious can find out more below in REFERENCES.
