Free video pages software for linux

GetVideo is a Firefox extension that allows you to download videos from YouTube and Google directly.

Unlike VideoDownloader it does not use a proxy page, and unoike unplug it does not create a layer over the current page.

It simply try to get the absolute video path and prompt for download it.

Linux Video Maker is useful for DVD/(S)VCD structure generating, ready for record on CD/DVD. Its in fact graphics interface (GUI) for transcode, mplex, DVDAuthor and few other programs...

Using of these programs for this purpose is uncomfortable and sometimes difficult especially for beginners because it involves a lot of knowledge about DVD/(S)VCD technology and video converting.

Linux Video Maker binds funcionality of 8 exterior programs and prevents from making many mistakes mainly in conversion process which can take a lot of time as AVI files uses complicated video algorithms (DIVX).

Program doesnt contain yet too many advanced options but it allow generate a standard DVD/(S)VCD structure without any problems.

Program in 2 GUI languages: english and polish !

GNOME Video Arcade is a simple xmame front-end for the GNOME Desktop Environment.

Just getting this project off the ground. Im hoping to create a simple and easy-to-use xmame front-end that is not just another mame32 clone.

This project is aimed at casual gamers like myself that just want to play classic arcade games on their desktop.

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::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::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.

Video::Info::MPEG is a basic MPEG bitstream attribute parser.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Video::Info::MPEG;

my $video = Video::Info::MPEG->new( -file => $filename );
$video->probe();

print $file->type; ## MPEG

## Audio information
print $file->acodec; ## MPEG Layer 1/2
print $file->acodecraw; ## 80
print $file->achans; ## 1
print $file->arate; ## 128000 (bits/sec)
print $file->astreams ## 1

## Video information
printf "%0.2f", $file->fps ## 29.97
print $file->height ## 240
print $file->width ## 352
print $file->vstreams ## 1
print $file->vcodec ## MPEG1
print $file->vframes ## 529
print $file->vrate ## 1000000 (bits/sec)

The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a working group in charge of the development of standards for coded representation of digital audio and video.
MPEG audio and video clips are ubiquitous but using Perl to programmatically collect information about these bitstreams has to date been a kludge at best.

This module parses the raw bitstreams and extracts information from the packet headers. It supports Audio, Video, and System (multiplexed audio and video) packets so it can be used on nearly every MPEG you encounter.
