Free your video software for linux

Download Youtube video is a Konqueror service menu to download and encode youtube videos.
This is a hack of another service menu that stoped working (at least for me): http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=37509
Main features:
- Download videos with the KDE file copy dialog instead of using KGet
- Automatically encode videos with mencoder, or just download
You can use ffmpeg too, just comment out the right lines in the python file, Im unable to encode some videos with ffmpeg, so mencoder is the default

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.

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

Who to use it with Firefox:

Now I will explain you how to get it working with Firefox,

First we need a Firefox extension called: Lanchy,
this extension give us the ability to open directly from Firefox Youtube video on youtube webpage (not on all webpages that have a youtube video!

You ALWAYS need the youtube videos webpage! After you have installed Launchy (from firefoxs addon site), restart Firefox, now it will ask you to insert a Launchys button on your toolbar (DO IT! so open Youtube videos will be very simply), after that go on the preferences/option of this extension and uncheck the option: "search automatically programs".

Now copy the "launchy.xml" file that you found on the package and copy it on your directory:
".mozilla/firefox/YOUR_ID.default/chrome/" , after copied it, please dont forget to edit it with your myvs.py COMPLETE PATH, and add or delete oppurtune option to pass to the script.

Now restart again firefox an watch if it recognise the command (by pressing the G).

Go on youtube.com, open a video webpage, click on the G button-> Open in Mplayer Youtube Video Streamer.
