video2wii is another service menu for KDE, this time to convert a video for nintendo wii.

It depends of the ffmpeg.

It looks like this:

[Desktop Action 2video4wii]
Exec=cd "%d";konsole --noclose -e ffmpeg -i %u -vcodec mjpeg -acodec pcm_u8 "`echo %u | perl -pe s/.[^.]+$//`.avi"
Icon=video
Name=Convert to video for Wii
Name[es]=Convertir en video para Wii

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=2video4wii
Icon=video
Name=2wii
Name[es]=2wii
ServiceTypes=video/*

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...)

This application is particularly useful for owners of digital DV video cameras and other people who use the Sony DV video format for high quality video production.

DV Assembler allows you to append multiple Sony DV files with nice looking transition effects for both audio and video. Multiple transition effects are supported, like cross-fade, zoom, blur and a flash effect.

I created DV Assembler because there are no user friendly video editing applications for Linux. Yes, Kino is promising, but its user interface is still a mess and development is slow.

DV Assembler only touches the head and tail parts of the original video files that are needed to create the transition effects. The rest of the video is left untouched, which means zero quality loss.

DV Assembler can also be used to generate video editing scripts that can be run without KDE and Kommander.

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.

Video::OpenQuicktime is an interface to the OpenQuicktime library.

SYNOPSIS

use Video::OpenQuicktime;

my $qt = Video::OpenQuicktime->new(file=>"sample.mov");
$qt->get_video_height;
$qt->get_audio_compression;
$qt->get_audio_samplerate;

From the OpenQuicktime site, http://www.openquicktime.org:

"OpenQuicktime aims to be a portable library for handling Apples QuickTime(TM) popular media files on Unix-like environments. It is aim is to provide encoding, authoring and editing support as well as video playback."

OpenQuicktime is currently able to decode as well as encode video and audio streams. The Video::OpenQuicktime library currently only supports extracting diagnostic information from Quicktime files, such as video dimensions, codecs used, and play length.

I would like to add support for video and audio demux at some point, but dont have the time to develop it right now. Given sufficient user interest or free time, Ill do it. Patches are also welcome in case anyone else wants to help me out, see the contact information below.

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.
