Cdrtools DVD Extensions DVD extensions for cdrtools 2.0 is a free software extension to add DVD support to Jörg Schilling's cdrtools package. A patch for cdrtools-2.0 is created and is actually a translation of a patch which can be found on abcpages.com. That patch is based upon cdrtools 1.11. The patch given here is based upon cdrtools-2.00.tar.gz. The objective is to give cdrtools dvd extensions without imposed limits, and also to have a free software solution to burn dvd's. Currently DVD-R(W) support is added.DVD functionality has been expanded with DVD+RW and DVD+R DL burning, with the release of cdrtools-2.01.01a01-ossdvd.patch.bz2.

CinePaint CinePaint is an application primarily used for motion picture frame-by-frame retouching and dust-busting. It has been used on many feature films, including The Last Samurai. It is different from other painting tools because in addition to common 8-bit per channel formats like JPEG, it supports deep color image formats such as Cineon, DPX, OpenEXR, and 32-bit TIFF, which are standard in motion picture visual effects and animation.

Cinelerra For years some people have wanted a way to edit their audio and video in one place as fluidly as writing text. Cinelerra tries to be a single location for all audio and video editing needs: it can capture composite, and edit audio and video. All the recording, editing, and playback are handled here. It can be used as an audio player. It can be used to record audio or video. It can even be used as a photo retoucher.

DVD Rip-O-Matic DVD Rip-O-Matic is a simple DVD-to-XviD ripping wizard that uses MEncoder to do the actual encoding. The wizard was designed to be very easy to use; it automatically detects the optimal settings. It should also produce very high quality AVI files, even if you have no idea what the settings mean and just use it in the next-next-next-finish way.

• you can change font/color
• you can put basic text buttons, change font/color and background color
• you can copy and paste any menu object
• you can set chapters for each movie

DivFix++ DivFix++ is complete rewrite of "DivFix" program by wxWidgets due it's bugs and performance. This program very useful when you dowloading avi files which has no index part downloaded and/or does't exist. It can also repair some corrupt avi files too.

Dvbcut dvbcut is a Qt application that allows you to select certain parts of an MPEG transport stream (as received via Digital Video Broadcasting) and save these parts into a single MPEG output file. It follows a "keyhole surgery" approach where the input video and audio data are mostly kept unchanged, and only very few frames at the beginning and/or end of the selected range are re-encoded in order to obtain a valid MPEG file.

Dvd rip dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program written in Perl. It provides an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control almost all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process. It uses the widely known video processing, swissknife, transcode and many other tools. Features include:

• DivX/Xvid multipass encoding
• (S)VCD modes, with multiple audio tracks for SVCD
• Integrated video bitrate calculator based on target size resp. number of discs
• Automatic splitting of the target files for best fit on the specified number of discs
• Several deinterlace filter presets
• Audio AC3 and PCM passthrough
• Audio MP3 encoding
• Audio volume maximizing and/or range compression
• OGG/Vorbis support, quality and bitrate based, adjusting the optimal video bitrate after audio transcoding in quality mode

• Simple but easy to use CD burning facility
• Last but not least a comprehensive cluster mode, which let you use all your Linux/Unix hardware for parallel encoding

EKD (EnKoDeur-Mixer) EKD is a free software that makes operations and post-production for both videos and images. Regarding the pictures, EKD makes batch processing easier.

EffecTV EffecTV is a real time video effector that lets you watch TV or video through various effectors. Multiple EffecTVs can be chained with a vloopback device.

FFpocket FFpocket is a tool for using ffmpeg's features. It carries out the tasks of frame decoding from a video file, audio decoding from a multimedia file (video/audio) precise frame/time seeking including b-frames, audio downsampling and special minmax averaging. The source code is intented to be simple, human-readable and free of memory leaks. It can be used as a shared library by larger projects that want to incorporate multimedia features.

Ffmpeg2theora This package provides a command-line tool to encode/recode various video formats (basically everything that ffmpeg can read) into Theora, the free video codec.

FreeJ FreeJ is an instrument for realtime manipulation of various video layers combined with live effects. Layers are implemented to mix together webcams, TV, movie files, images and text and can be rendered in various ways. FreeJ can be operated live using hotkeys, also remotely over networks (VJoE), while operations can also be scripted in a object oriented procedural language (Javascript). The core engine is multithreaded and asynchronous so it can accept various controllers at the same time: both MIDI and joystick controls have been implemented. FreeJ is being developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a free instrument for video manipulation: to be employed in veejaying, theater performance and digital scenography, while at present is also being used for visualisation in medical analysis.

GePhex 'GePhex' is a modular video jockey software. Users choose base visuals from sources like video files or cameras, then modify them with filters and mixers. Each modifier has several parameters that can be controlled by signal-generators, input devices like joysticks, sound cards, or MIDI-devices. The effect engine is independent of the user interface, and is extensible through plugins.

Handbrake HandBrake is a multiplatform, multithreaded DVD to MPEG-4 ripper/converter. HandBrake was originally available on the BeOS but now works on various systems. Supported sources:
