Jahshaka
Jahshaka is a platform independent, Realtime Editing and Visual Effects System. Jahshaka will let you do this, and much more.
Jahshaka uses todays next-generation hardware to do everything in real time, regardless of what box you are running on. Thanks to the power and economics of mass markets, todays pc's come with everything you need to create any kind of media you want. Todays graphics cards would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just a few years ago… and deliver an unbelievable level of power and speed into your hands. This is the power that drives jahshaka.
Jahshaka's morphing interface allows you to work as a editor when you are editing, to work as a compositor when you are creating effects, as a audio enginer when you are mixing, and as a animator when you are doing 3d. It will even allow you to create your own hybrid interfaces to match your workflow.
This power and flexability has been unheard of, but its coming your way soon. Imagine a system simple enough to edit home videos and mix audio tracks, but powerful enough to edit HDTV, create film effects or animate a flock of seagulls.
Jahshaka fixes many of the compatability and file sharing problems that exist in large facilities today. The ability to run multiple seats of jahshaka off a single server, with full project and media sharing solve the problems of distributed vs shared storage. Everybody can use the same disk-array… and work together without the massive slowdowns of having to move large media files around your network. Jahshaka loves multi tasking, multi user, media sharing environments.

Fwink
Fwink is a free and open source webcam application for Windows. It takes still images from your camera at timed intervals and puts them on your web site with FTP. You can add effects like text messages, time stamps and an overlay image.
Fwink does not make live video calls. For that, you may want to try Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, etc.
You can superimpose a logo, or any image you want, on top of your webcam image. The following image formats are supported: JPEG, GIF (transparency is supported), PNG (transparency and alpha are supported), BMP, TIFF and WMF.
You can trigger your camera with the ATI Remote Wonder. Instructions for configuring this plug-in are provided with Fwink.

Taksi
Taksi is a utility that allows you to take screenshots and record video clips of your favourite games and other 3D-graphics applications. Taksi can support live video compression with any VFW video codec your system has installed (i.e. XVid, DivX, MS Mpeg4, etc). Supports user-specified key mapping, allowing user to assign almost any key to a particular function (such as video start/stop, screenshot trigger, etc.). Runtime re-mapping of the keys is supported via GUI: user can change keys without having to restart the game.
Custom video settings are supported. Basically, this allows a user to specify on a per-game basis the frame rate of the captured video, and the weight of each source frame. The weight determines whether a particular frame is captured or not. This allows for creation of smoother and faster videos, when generic algorithm doesn't produce desired results.

DivFix++
DivFix++ is started its life as CLI "DivFix" clone. I rewrite DivFix program due it's bugs and low performance. This program repairs broken AVI file streams by rebuilding index part of file. This is very useful when trying to preview movies which has no index part, like some files are currently downloading from ed2k (eMule) or bittorent networks. DivFix++ specialy designed for preview video download files from P2P networks.
DivFix++ has supports CLI tools, this means you can fix a file to temporary location, preview with a player, than delete temporary movie file after preview automatically via script by using argument parameters.DivFix++ program code supports lots of operating system, because it's written by cross-platform API, wxWidgets.

MPEG Tools
The mjpeg programs are a set of tools that can do recording of videos and playback, simple cut-and-paste editing and the MPEG compression of audio and video under Linux.
Recording is supported for the Zoran based cards like the Buz (Iomega), DC10 (MIRO, Pinnacle), Matrox Marvel cards and the LML33 (Linux Media Labs). See related pages to the right to find the right driver for your card.
The recorded videos can be converted to MPEG streams. The software playback of MPEG streams works with almost every player and every OS.
You can produce special forms of MPEG streams like VCD (Video CD) and SVCD for hardware playback.
A key design objective of the tools is interoperability with other video tools:
The tools can be used used to edit, playback and compress motion JPEG (MJPEG) AVI's captured using the xawtv package.
The tools can be used to edit playback and compress MJPEG streams created and editted with broadcast 2000. N.b. the current mpeg2movie high bit-rate MPEG encoder is in large part derived from an obsolescent snapshot of the mjpegtools MPEG encoder.
Transcoding of MPEG-2 streams to MPEG-2/MPEG-1 is supported through patches to the output drivers for mpeg2dec and ac3dec tools from the Linux Video and DVD Project.
dv2jpg converts a DV codec-encoded AVI stream (from dvgrab, for example) to an mjpeg-encoded AVI stream that can be processed by the mjpeg tools package. The mjpeg AVI can be converted to mpeg video/audio and burned onto a VCD later.

Flowplayer
Flowplayer is an Open Source (GPL 3) video player for the Web. Use it to embed video streams into your web pages. Built for site owners, developers, hobbyists, businesses and serious programmers. Flash technology ensures that 98% of all Internet users can see your videos. Highly skinnable and extendable. No other software makes it easier.
Every aspect of Flowplayer is a plugin. Even the controlbar is a plugin that can be removed or replaced. JavaScript plugins work outside the player area. Think of controlbars and playlists that can be constructed and styled with standard HTML and CSS skills. Flash plugins such as the controlbar, captions or advertising work inside the player. In fact, every Flash component can be used as a Flowplayer plugin. For plugin developers there is a polished API available for both JavaScript and ActionScript 3.
Advanced streaming technologies such as bandwidth detection, clustering and secure streaming make Flowplayer the best player for streaming today. Supported servers and technologies include: HTTP streaming; pseudostreaming with Apache, ASP/.NET, lighttpd and ngingx; RTMP streaming with Adobe Flash Media Server, Wowza and Red5. More are planned for the future. Proven Content Delivery Network (CDN) networks include Akamai, Amazon, Simple CDN, Influxis and MediaMelon, and the list is growing.

AsfBin
AsfBin is a command line utility for cutting out fragments, joining, editing and repairing ASF files. AsfBin can be applied to any ASF file, that is, not only to those with ASF extension but also those with WMV and WMA extensions. Precision, speed and the maximum fidelity was my top priorities in desing of the AsfBin software. Not to mention, of course, reliabilty of this tool.
The whole operation is performed without recompression of the whole file. On a user demand, only a couple of first samples may be recompressed to give the ultimate precision in cutting. Because of that, the video quality is not degraded and the resulting file remains as unchanges as possible.
Features:

Movica
Editing AVI files is easily done through VirtualDub but for .wmv, .flv, .rm and .mpg files the tools are less easily available. Some very good command line tools are available for editing these files viz.
- AsfBin - Very, very well done editor for Windows media files
- MpgTx - A tool being developed largely for POSIX apps. Tiny.
- flvtool - A tool meant largely for metadata management.
Not all these programs are open source programs. Only MpgTx and flvtool are open-source tools. [Please bear in mind that you should get a license for AsfBin if you choose to use this for commercial use]
If you have Real Producer Basic 11 installed on your computer you may be able to use Movica to edit .rm files.
Movica is just a graphical user interface that uses these fine programs to edit movie files. A great deal of emphasis has been placed on keyboard shortcuts to make the job of editing easier.
Briefly what you can do is -
- Select or delete multiple portions from a video file.
- Copy, paste and fine tune the selections.
- Join multiple files together
- Split movies into smaller files
- Save and play selected scene without editing the movies

MJPEG video from photo-cameras is supported as well. Program converts *.MOV MJPEG clips to MJPEG AVI (without recompression) or to XviD MPEG-4 AVI (with recompression) in one click.
MP4Cam2AVI supports MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video from new H.264 cameras like Sanyo CG65 and Casio EX-V7 (to view target AVI, H.264 VfW codec needed, i.e latest FFDShow).
By default, MP4Cam2AVI doesn't recompress video, that means no quality loss and fast operation (5-20x realtime, depending on audio settings). Audio can be stored in source format, or converted to MP3 (best for DVD-MPEG4 players) or PCM (best for editing).
Also, MP4Cam2AVI can convert MJPEG video to MPEG-4 ASP using XviDcore GPL library. That means you can convert MJPEG MOV's from photo camera to DivX-compatible AVI in one click.
MP4Cam2AVI converts MPEG-4 ASP *.MP4 files from Nero Recode (MPEG-4 ASP video/AAC audio) to DivX AVI format with MP3 audio - it's fast and loseless for video.
Unlike many converting apps, MP4Cam2AVI doesn't require QuickTime or any codecs to work, it performs all the job itself.

macam consist of an application and a component. Run the macam application to verify whether your camera works with your Mac and your USB setup. The component is the actual driver that allows other applications to access the video-stream. (note: iChat does not recognize most USB webcams unless you install iChatUSBCam - this is shareware unrelated to macam).
macam supports several hundred different cameras! Many Logitech, Creative and other name brand cameras are supported, as are a large number of generic, and store-branded cameras. Thus many cameras are supported that we have not even heard about.

What can DVDx do ?
DVDx copies DVD movie to VCD, SVCD, DivX, AVI or WMV in one step. DVDx has been designed as a simple and intuitive program especially for unexperimented users. DVDx produces high quality MPEG and AVI movies and advanced features provides smart settings for experimented users.
DVDx is likely the fastest solution ever to copy a DVD into a DivX file because the DVD reading (and decrypting) is done while encoding to DivX. Alternative solutions require to copy the DVD to the hard drive with DVD Decrypter (or SmartRipper or any other DVD ripping software) which takes about 30 minutes, and then the encoding time is added. So with a 75FPS encoding speed for a 1:30 PAL (25FPS) movie, the total ripping time of alternative software is 1 hour. While DVDx will take less than 32 minutes (at 72FPS).

WDM Video Capture Driver
The current driver is a Video Capture driver for Bt848, Bt849, Bt878 and Bt879 based video capture boards. It tries to take the most of the hardware, using all the features the chipset has to offer. It is also implemented as a WDM driver, so the same driver works under Win2000, Win98SE, WinXP and WinMe without modifications.
This is a total rewrite of the reference drivers so I was able to solve some of the main problems it had, such as to support quite a bit more capture cards, make NetMeeting work with it, add lots of analog video standards, make it more stable, improve ACPI support, hibernate, AVI capture, frame size, FM and AM radio for those cards that have it, lower the CPU usage, support hardware overlay flipping, etc... Take a look at the source code to see if you can recognize it as the reference driver it was!

AviSynth
AviSynth is a powerful tool for video post-production. It provides ways of editing and processing videos. AviSynth works as a frameserver, providing instant editing without the need for temporary files.
AviSynth itself does not provide a graphical user interface (GUI), but instead relies on a script system that allows advanced non-linear editing. While this may at first seem tedious and unintuitive, it is remarkably powerful and is a very good way to manage projects in a precise, consistent, and reproducible manner. Because text-based scripts are human readable, projects are inherently self-documenting. The scripting language is simple yet powerful, and complex filters can be created from basic operations to develop a sophisticated palette of useful and unique effects.
AviSynth works by faking AVI files. That means that AviSynth script files work in principle with all media applications and players capable of opening AVI files. What you might see in real life is that not all applications treat video files like they are supposed to. (For instance, Ligos MPEG encoder will not let you choose anything but straight AVI files in the file selector. But if you load an AVI, and manually change the name in the filename box to .AVS - it works perfectly.)
Because AviSynth works like a frameserver your filters are being applied 'on-the-fly'. That means that when a program that has opened an AVS file requests frame 303, it is read from the source, the filters are applied before the frame is delivered to the program.

- Added support for S/PDIF sample rates other than 48kHz: Pass-through of 44.1kHz AC3/DTS streams plays back correctly now
- Dynamic range compression level for AC3 and E-AC3 sources can now be set between 0 and 100%
- AC3/DTS pass-through settings are now based on presets
- DVD playback support by libavcodec
- Tweaked compatibility list reporting: Executable names that are not yet in the default whitelist/blacklist are now reported only
- Unicode support for FFDShowRemoteAPI
- Language file size limit was increased, all language files are now encoded as UTF-16LE+BOM
- Various OSD updates:
-
- Buffer limit increased from 256 to 2048 characters
- HTML encoding support similar to SRT files
- Added SSA support for OSD and combobox to select the format (HTML/SSA)
- SRT files with tags support: SSA tags support in SRT files and HTML tags support in SSA files
- Improved compatibility with certain MPEG2 Transport / Program Stream demultiplexers (e.g. DVBSource, Elecard) for files that contain H.264 video
- Support H.264 digital television playback in DVBViewer
- Improved H.264 seeking
- Added an option to deinterlace only frames flagged as "interlaced"
- Enhanced interlacing options allow to choose the method (auto, weave, bob) as well as the field order (auto, top field, bottom field)
- Color space conversion: Added option "Force progressive" and "Force interlace"
- Flag telecined frames as progressive (libmpeg2)
- H.264: Correct field order, interlace/progressive flags are decoded

VirtualDub
VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms (98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.
Sure, you've probably played a few video clips on your monitor. But have you ever made one yourself? Used a video capture device? Wrestled with the software that comes with it? Felt like the software is a few leagues above or below your level? Time to try something else. If your capture device is Video for Windows compatible, then VirtualDub can capture video with it. But VirtualDub isn't your average capture program:

Sure, you've probably played a few video clips on your monitor. But have you ever made one yourself? Used a video capture device? Wrestled with the software that comes with it? Felt like the software is a few leagues above or below your level? Time to try something else. If your capture device is Video for Windows compatible, then VirtualDub can capture video with it. But VirtualDub isn't your average capture program:
- Fractional frame rates. Don't settle for 29 or 30 when you want 29.97.
- Optimized disk access for more consistent hard disk usage.
- Create AVI2 (OpenDML) files to break the AVI 2GB barrier and multiple files to break the FAT32 4GB limit.
- Integrated volume meter and histogram for input level monitoring.
- Real-time downsizing, noise reduction, and field swapping.
- Verbose monitoring, including compression levels, CPU usage, and free disk space.
- Access hidden video formats your capture card may support but not have a setting for, such as 352x480.
- Keyboard and mouse shortcuts for faster operation. To capture, just hit F6.
- Clean interface layout: caption, menu bar, info panel, status bar.
