memo.REAL
"In this project, an architecture for media servers is to be designed and
validated in a prototype ... ... particular challenge is the combination of realtime with data
independence (or data abstraction) in future media servers, so that comfort for
the users goes in hand in hand with a larger potential for optimization in the
server's administration ..."
ScalVico
ScalVico is a finished project, where researchers developed "a
software-only SCALable VIdeo COdec based on lattice vector
quantization (VQ) and multiscale motion compensation (It's
not DCT based!)" and "the ScalVico
H.263+Pyramid WebVideo Server

DROPS
"The Dresden Real-Time Operating Systems Project is a research project aiming at
the support of applications with Quality of Service requirements ... ... DROPS project attempts to find design techniques for the construction of
distributed real time operating systems whose every component guarantees a
certain level of service to applications ..."
AV conversion projects (non-RT)
transcode
"is a linux text-console utility for video stream processing,
running on a platform that supports shared libraries and threads
... transcode loads shared library modules that are
responsible for feeding it with raw streams and encoding the frames
..."
AviSynth
"is a very very powerful tool for video post-production. It provides
almost unlimited ways of editing and processing videos. AviSynth works
as a frameserver, providing instant and very fast editing without the
need for temporary files ... A very good use for AviSynth is however
to prepare your video before you cut it in one of these programs
[Adobe Premier or After Effects], and adjust color, remove noise, crop
/ resize ..."
It may be used by
VirtualDub,
DVX and
AVSGenie.
FAME
The FAME project is a set of tools for encoding multimedia content. It
currently consists in the following tools: libfame
(encoding library), fame (multimedia encoder - uses video4linux, lame
and libfame libraries) and recmpeg (simple video encoder RAW->MPEG).
