AVI Librarys
- avifile http://sourceforge.net/projects/avifile/ - Interesting in that they have reverse engineered the microsoft codec api so that they can use microsoft dll's on linux.
- http://www.projectmayo.com divx4 encoding, very promising but is a single direction streamed image, used in transcode. Development appears to have gone silent. I believe the development has been migrated into Xvid
- Xvid - ISO MPEG-4 compliant video codec http://www.videocoding.de
- mjpeg avi file encoding: http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
- transcode http://www.theorie.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~ostreich excellent translation tool for creating avi files, can be linked to imagemagick to read in a list of still frames and output an AVI file.
I've used transcode a fair amount. It performs as advertised, but the billion command-line options are hard to wrangle without the fair-quality example invocations on the transcode website. It's still a good tool, despite the fact that you can never know which functions are implemented and what's going to work until you try it. --[Ringtones]?
