Free videos from software for linux

Video server is a streaming video server which feeds a Java applet/application for display. The updates are rather slow, somewhere in the 10 frames/second range on a PIII. The server is written in Bigloo scheme and C. The client is written in Java.

To bring up the video server you have to do the following.

./vs --channel 25 --sd 12 --input 0

./vs --help
for more options. (This seems broken with the newest version of bigloo .... )

How to bring up a java client to connect to a server:
Insure that video/java is in your classpath, and invoke

java vpanel servername

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

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::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?

kvidenc is a KDE service menu utility to easily convert videos.

Supported output formats are 3GPP and MPEG, as well as bot PAL and NTSC formats for DV, DVD, VCD and SVCD.

More may be added in the future.

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.

Video::Info::RIFF is a Perl module that can probe DivX and AVI files for attributes like:

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

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info::RIFF;

my $video;

$video = Video::Info::RIFF->new(-file=>$filename); #like this
$video = Video::Info::RIFF->new(-file=>$filename,-headersize=>$headersize); #or this

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

RIFF stands for Resource Interchange File Format, in case you were wondering. The morbidly curious can find out more below in REFERENCES.
