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.
The media_tree.git contains the latest development drivers. In order to test them, a media build tree 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.

A small number of DVB test and utility programs, including szap and dvbscan, are in the dvb-apps mercurial repository.
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.
It also provides tools to manage the remote controller tables available on most media devices.
They are available at the v4l-utils.git repository.
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:
Xawtv 3.x: Supports only analog devices (TV and webcams).
Xawtv 4.x: Supports both analog and digital devices.
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.
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.
A VDR plugin is included.
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.

MPEG2 elementary stream encoding tools for DSM-CC MHP ObjectCarousels.
What the dsmcc-mhp-tools support:
A mirror of the diet libc CVS. The main repository can be found on www.fefe.de.
Schematics, firmware and driver sources for an USB2 DVB-T adapter prototype.
A driver for the Visiontech Kfir based encoder card which used to be
manufactured by BMK electronics.
Note: So far this driver supports 2.4 kernels only.
The newer MPEX card by BMK is supported by drivers in the mainline 2.6 kernel.
Both Kfir and MPEX cards are now out of production, but there is some legacy information still available.
An old driver for a "DVD to go" MPEG2 decoder PC card, including zoomed video support.
