Summary
Video tools
Different tools for handling video in Debian
Debian contains a several programs useful for working with video that do
not fit in any other category. Here you can have an overview.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Multimedia Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Multimedia which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Multimedia
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Multimedia mailing list

DVBcut is a Qt application that allows you to select certain parts of an
MPEG transport stream (as received via Digital Video Broadcasting, DVB) and
save these parts into a single MPEG output file. It follows a `keyhole
surgery'' approach where the input video and audio data is 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.

WinFF is a graphical user interface for FFmpeg or avconv. It will convert
almost any video file that FFmpeg or avconv will convert. WinFF does multiple
files in multiple formats at one time. You can, for example, convert
mpeg's, flv's, and mov's into avi's (or DVD/VCD format or MPEG or 3gp
etc.) all at once.
This package provides a variety of preset conversion settings for
common formats and devices. These presets are intended to hit the
"sweet spot" for each individual codec. They have been written with a
tip of the balance to quality.
For most presets to work, it is necessary to have the unstripped version
of the libavcodec package, which can be obtained by installing
libavcodec-extra-## as suggested by this package. It might be necessary
to enable additional repositories to find that package.
