the controller window even when you have it configured to do so.
* Look for DejaVu fonts in LOCALBASE not X11BASE, so the OSD works with
native Xorg; explicitly depend on the dejavu-ttf package.

FUPPES is a free, multiplatform UPnP A/V Media Server.
FUPPES supports a wide range of UPnP MediaRenderers (see website for
details) as well as on-the-fly transcoding of various audio, video and image
formats. It also includes basic DLNA support.
tstools is a set of cross-platform command line tools for working with MPEG
data.
The emphasis is on relatively simple tools which concentrate on MPEG (H.264 and
H.262) data packaged according to H.222 (i.e., TS or PS), with a particular
interest in checking for conformance.
Transport Stream (TS) is typically used for distribution of cable and satellite
data. Program Stream (PS) is typically used to store data on DVDs.
The tools are focused on:
* Quick reporting of useful data (tsinfo, stream_type)
* Giving a quick overview of the entities in the stream (esdots, psdots)
* Reporting on TS packets (tsreport) or ES units/frames/fields (esreport)
* Simple manipulation of stream data (es2ts, esfilter, esreverse, esmerge,
ts2es)
* Streaming of data, possibly with introduced errors (tsplay)

the 'ugliest package name of the month' award (py25-mkv2mp4-0.0alpha11), but
it is in fact quite handy.
mkv2mp4 is a commandline utility, written in Python, which allows conversion
of video files in the Matroska container (*.mkv file extension) containing
H.264 video to be converted into a format which the Xbox 360 can play.
It differs from other similar tools in that no video transcoding is
performed; the video is passed through untouched and the just the audio is
transcoded if necessary. This means that the conversion is much faster
(the whole process being quicker than realtime on reasonably modern
machines), and more importantly that there is no degradation in video quality
(which makes it very suitable for HD video).
GPAC features encoders and multiplexers, publishing and content distribution
tools for MP4 and 3GPP or 3GPP2 files and many tools for scene descriptions
(BIFS/VRML/X3D converters, SWF/BIFS, SVG/BIFS, etc...). MP4Box provides all
these tools in a single command-line application.
MediaInfo supplies technical and tag information about a video or audio file.
What information can I get from MediaInfo?
- General: title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration...
- Video: codec, aspect, fps, bitrate...
- Audio: codec, sample rate, channels, language, bitrate...
- Text: language of subtitle
- Chapters: number of chapters, list of chapters
What format (container) does MediaInfo support?
- Video: MKV, OGM, AVI, DivX, WMV, QuickTime, Real, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4,
DVD (VOB)... (Codecs: DivX, XviD, MSMPEG4, ASP, H.264, AVC...)
- Audio: OGG, MP3, WAV, RA, AC3, DTS, AAC, M4A, AU, AIFF...
- Subtitles: SRT, SSA, ASS, SAMI...
What can I do with it?
- Read many video and audio file formats
- Different methods of viewing information (text, sheet, tree, HTML...)
- You can customise these views
- Exporting information as text, CSV, HTML...
- Internationalisation: Any language display on any version of your
operating system
- Localisation capability (but volunteers needed)
The Linux FourCC Changer is a simple command line utility for working with
Microsoft AVI files. Features:
- Identifies the codec used in AVI files (*.avi)
- Allow the user to change the FourCC description code (like fourcc-changer
in Windows).
HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video
transcoder, available for MacOS X, NetBSD, Linux and Windows.
Supported sources:
* Any DVD-like source: VIDEO_TS folder, DVD image or real DVD
(unencrypted--protection methods including CSS are not supported internally
and must be handled externally with third-party software and libraries),
and some .VOB and .TS files
* Most any multimedia file it can get libavformat to read and libavcodec to
decode.
Outputs:
* File format: MP4, MKV, AVI or OGM
* Video: MPEG-4, H.264, or Theora (1 or 2 passes or constant quantizer/rate
encoding)

mplayer project, and the next release after 0.1.10 (the one we're coming
from) was 4.1.1.
libdvdnav (4.1.3)
* an embarassing amount of fixes regarding potential memory and resource leaks
(patches contributed by Erik Hovland)
* added dvdread-config (dvdnav-config's younger brother)
* added pkg-config support
* split dvdread to a separate tree; now you need to check it out
and install it before building libdvdnav.
In order to configure libdvdnav We need the executable dvdread-config
somewhere in the PATH or explicitly specified to configure[2] with
--with-dvdread-config=~/bin/dvdread-config
libdvdnav (4.1.2)
* multiple build system fixes
* added dvdnav_describe_title_chapters(title) to get title and chapters
duration
libdvdnav (4.1.1)
* added dvdnav_audio_stream_channels() to return number of channels
* fixed dvdnav_time_search() in multi-angle dvds (but it still needs
improvements)
* added dvdnav_audio_stream_format() to identify the codec used
in audio streams
* starting DVD playback at specific title/part positions with
dvdnav_{title,part}_play() works again
* removed wrong SPU stream change event filter
(fixes unwanted subtitles in the trailer of "Girl, interrupted", RC2)
* fixed error "Expected NAV packet but none found." occuring sometimes
on resume from menu
maintained by the mplayer project and according to the changelog, this
dvdread package was split out from dvdnav in 4.1.3. Check the ChangeLog
in the distfile for the full drama.
