Free videos 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.

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

mpeg2videotools is a C library and set of tools for encoding, decoding, verification and analysis of MPEG-2 video. It supports 422 Profile and High Profile bitstreams. A PSNR tool is included for comparing uncompressed video to encoded MPEG-2 video.
The library will provide a C API and be implemented in C. Platforms supported will be popular Unices and Linux, MS Windows and MacOSX. autoconf and automake will be used to achieve portability for most platforms. Decoded bitstreams will be displayed using X11 server for Unix and native Windows API for MS Windows.
Included is an encoder and decoder application which are useful for creating compliant bitstreams and decoding and verifying MPEG-ES, MPEG-PS, MPEG-PES and MPEG-TS bitstreams.
A number of important improvements over the original SSG code have already been made:
display on TrueColor visuals (16, 24, 32 bit displays)
decoding of MPEG-TS streams
decoding of broken streams which do not start with a required start code
autoconf build
MS Windows display
a library API to enable its use in other projects (ImageMagick and the AAF SDK come to mind)
MIAMI is an MPEG-2 video codec library which aims to be a complete implementation of the ISO/IEC 13812-2:2000 standard. The priority is completeness and correctness rather than speed. Included is an encoder and a decoder for MPEG-ES,PS,PES,TS bitstreams.
Enhancements:
- changed function decs to ANSI style
- added const qualifier to suitable function args

KVideoEncoder is a GUI for the mencoder; the goal of this application is to be a clone of TMPGEnc for Linux with additional features.

KVideoEncoder supports joining of two or more videos and dvd-ripping.

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.

Linux Video Studio is a simple/small application to make the capturing of video on MJPEG-hardware CODEC boards easier.
The application uses the MJPEG-tools, a set of programs to capture video and do lots of things with this. You need to have MJPEG-Tools installed before trying to install Linux Video Studio (also see installation notes) ! Linux Video Studio also uses the Xvideo extension in XFree 4.x to see what youre recording.
But that is not all. I want more than just capturing. My dream is to create one big application that does all the work at once. Not just one application for capturing, one for editing (xlav?), etc. No, my dream is to have one application doing it all. I hope Linux Video Studio can be part of that.
Installation:
You need Gtk to use this application. You also need the MJPEG-Tools installed. Besides that, you now also need an X-server with the Xvideo extension installed (i.e. you need XFree 4.x). In the XF86Config file, add the line Load "v4l" in the modules-section. Next, restart X (you must have the zoran drivers loaded before staring X, or the V4L-module wont work!). For some distros, you might have to install this module first (RedHat 7.0: you need the XFree86-V4L-.... RPM).
From source:
# tar -zxf linuxvideostudio-x.y.z.tar.gz
# cd linuxvideostudio-x.y.z
# ./configure
# make
# make install
From binary RPM:
# rpm --install linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.i386.rpm
You can also use GnoRPM or another convenience tool.
From Source RPM:
# rpm --rebuild linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
# rpm --install linuxvideostudio-x.y.z-n.i386.rpm
Enhancements:
- some GList related preferences save bugfixes
- bugfixes where the extension of a file (.mp2, .m1v) precedes the filename, but that path doesnt exist
