I'd settle for gentoo workstations here.... |

any of the standards, mpeg2, mpeg4 mpeg4(AVC) |

H.264 is my favorite. |

Well that's the aim of many projects, but achieving this sort of level |
28 |
only comes after a package, matures over time, in my experience. |

This is really sort of a complex/dynamic request. ffmpeg is the basic |
40 |
tools behind many video packages. Here are the names of a few you might |
41 |
want to try: |
42 |
|
43 |
vlc: retransmits video streams |
44 |
zoneminder: security stream camera viewer |
45 |
mythtv: digital video recorder |
46 |
qdvdauthor |
47 |
mplayer |
48 |
vdr: set top box for DVB |
49 |
|
50 |
|
51 |
many other packages exist, just take a look in the |
52 |
/usr/portage/medida-video/ dir, and emerge one for a test |
53 |
|
