<h2>Linux Kernel Media drivers</h2>
<p>The media drivers for the Linux Kernel Subsystems, which consists of
devices for webcams, analog TV, digital TV and remote controllers.
The video4linux subsystem was included on Kernel
2.2, and the dvb and remote controller subsystems was included in the
2.6 Kernel.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git">media_tree.git</a>
contains the latest development drivers. In order to test them, a
<a href="http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git">media build tree</a>
is provided, allowing the compilation of the media drivers without
the need of changing the entire kernel. It currently supports kernel
versions from 2.6.32 to 3.x.</p>

<h2>DVB utils</h2>
>>>>>>> 1.13
<p>
A small number of DVB test and utility programs,
including szap and dvbscan, are in
the <a href="http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps">dvb-apps</a> mercurial
repository.
</p>
<h2>Video4Linux utils</h2>
<p>
Provides a series of utilities for media devices, allowing to handle
the proprietary formats available at most webcams (libv4l), and providing
tools to test V4L devices.
</p>
<p>
It also provides tools to manage the remote controller tables available
on most media devices.
</p>
<p>
They are available at the
<a href="http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git">v4l-utils.git</a>
repository.
</p>
<h2>Xawtv</h2>
<p>
The Xawtv application allows to watch television at the PC. It were written by
Gerd Hoffmann and is probably one of the first applications available for it.
There are two versions of xawtv available:
</p>
<p <a href="http://git.linuxtv.org/xawtv3.git">Xawtv 3.x</a>: Supports only analog
devices (TV and webcams).</p>
<p><a href="http://git.linuxtv.org/xawtv4.git">Xawtv 4.x</a>: Supports both analog
and digital devices.</p>
<p>They are not being actively maintained, but, from time to time, we add
bug fixes and eventually new features, expecially on Xawtv 3.x, since most
distributions pack it.</p>
<h1>Old projects not maintained anymore at LinuxTV.org</h1>
<h2>libsoftmpeg</h2>
<p>
libsoftmpeg is a ffmpeg/libavcodec based software mpeg decoder
library. It currently uses DirectFB and FusionSound for
video and audio rendering, but the code is structured
in an way which makes it easy to add different rendering methods.<br>
A VDR plugin is included.
</p>
<h2>MPEG2 multiplexer</h2>
<p>
An ISO-13818 compliant multiplexer for generating MPEG2
transport and program streams, developed and maintained
by Oskar Schirmer. The TS multiplexer is able to run
continously, with dynamically adjustable input streams
for live broadcast.<br>
<a href="http://www.scara.com/~schirmer/o/mplex13818/">

</p>
<h2>DSM-CC/MHP object carousel generator</h2>
<p>
MPEG2 elementary stream encoding tools for DSM-CC MHP ObjectCarousels.<br>
What the <a href="dsmcc-mhp-tools.php">dsmcc-mhp-tools</a> support:<br>
<ul>
<li> generation of an ObjectCarousel
<li> generation of (continuous) NPT descriptor streams
<li> generation of StreamEvent descriptors
<li> generation of AIT
<li> generation of PMT
<li> distribution of an ObjectCarousel over multiple PIDs (DataCarousels)
<li> incremental ObjectCarousel updates
</ul>
</p>
<h2>dietlibc</h2>
<p>
A mirror of the diet libc CVS. The main repository can be
found on <a href="http://www.fefe.de/dietlibc/">www.fefe.de</a>.
</p>
<h2>DVB-USB2 hardware prototype</h2>
<p>
Schematics, firmware and driver sources for an USB2 DVB-T adapter
prototype.
</p>
<h2>Philips Empress / Kfir MPEG2 encoder card drivers</h2>
<p>
A driver for the Visiontech Kfir based encoder card which used to be
manufactured by <a href="http://www.bmk-electronics.de/">BMK electronics</a>.<br>
Note: So far this driver supports 2.4 kernels only.
</p>
<p>
The newer MPEX card by BMK is supported by drivers in the mainline 2.6 kernel.
</p>
<p>
Both Kfir and MPEX cards are now out of production, but there is some
<a href="bmk-order.php">legacy information</a> still available.
</p>
<h2>Margi/Billionton MPEG decoder PC card drivers</h2>
<p>
An old driver for a "DVD to go" MPEG2 decoder PC card, including
zoomed video support.
