lsdvd is an application that reads the contents of a DVD and prints them
to your terminal.
lsdvd will tell you the following:
* The name of the disc
* The number of tracks
* The length, format, and aspect of each track
* The format, language, number of channels, contents, etc. of each audio
track
* The language and contents of each subtitle
* The longest track

Matroska files.
MKVtoolnix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files.
With these tools one can get information about (mkvinfo) Matroska files,
extract tracks/data from (mkvextract) Matroska files and create (mkvmerge)
Matroska files from other media files.
From pkgsrc-wip, created by Sergey Svishchev with modifications by me.
container format library.
Matroska aims to become THE Standard of Multimedia Container Formats.
It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it
significantly. It is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language),
a binary derivative of XML.
Matroska is designed with the future in mind. It incorporates features
you would expect from a modern container format, like:
- Streamable over internet (HTTP and RTP)
- Fast seeking in the file
- High error recovery
- Menus (like DVDs have)
- Chapter entries
- Selectable subtitle streams
- Selectable audio streams
- Modularly extendable

gst-player is an application capable of playing almost any media type for
which a GStreamer plugin exist. It is developed by the GStreamer developers
as a testing ground and sample application.
This package is based on the one found in pkgsrc-wip by Benedikt Meurer.
Theora is Xiph.Org's first publicly released video codec, intended for
use within the Ogg's project's Ogg multimedia streaming system. Theora
is derived directly from On2's VP3 codec; currently the two are nearly
identical, varying only in encapsulating decoder tables in the bitstream
headers, but Theora will make use of this extra freedom in the future to
improve over what is possible with VP3.
libdvdnav is a library that allows easy use of sophisticated DVD navigation
features such as DVD menus, multiangle playback and even interactive DVD
games. All this functionality is provided through a simple API which
provides the DVD playback as a single logical stream of blocks, intermitted
by special dvdnav events to report certain conditions. The main usage of
libdvdnav is a loop regularly calling a function to get the next block,
surrounded by additional calls to tell the library of user interaction.
The whole DVD virtual machine and internal playback states are completely
encapsulated.
- Do not install nor build any plugins that require external libraries.
This keeps this package small, makes it modular and will avoid the need
of "fee-based-commercial-use" licenses while building GNOME.
- Split the Makefile and make it easy to create packages for individual
plugins by using Makefile.common.
- Use gstreamer/plugins.mk to automatically register installed plugins in
the plugins database.
- Fix the regex used to export symbols to something that matches better
the original one.
- As a result of the update of gstreamer to 0.8.0nb1 (which requires a
glib2 with the RTLD_GLOBAL fix), plugins work fine now.
- Require glib2>=2.4.0nb1 to get the RTLD_GLOBAL fix.
- Move the plugins database from /var/cache/gstreamer-0.8 to
${PREFIX}/libdata/gstreamer-0.8, because it's intended to be updated
after (de)installation of plugins only.
- Implement a framework to automatically rebuild the plugins database at
(de)install time. This is handled by the simple inclusion of plugins.mk
in package makefiles.

VLS is part of the VideoLAN project, a full client/server video over IP
solution. The VideoLAN Server aims at broadcasting MPEG (1/2/4, PS/TS)
video streams over any IP network.
