Overview

This page provides links to applications and tools relevant to GATOS project.

End-user applications

• AVview - audio/video viewer.
• Xawtv - audio/video viewer.
• Xine - movie player (DVD, MPEG, AVI).
• FFMPEG - video encoder. (Note: you need a version _later_ than 0.4.5 to use ffmpeg with km or AVview). (patch to ffmpeg 0.4.5 to get it working with km). Note: you need ffmpeg from ffmpeg CVS for use with AVview.
• AVview uses ALSA sound library to interface to Linux audio devices.
• A version of nuvrec modified to work with km.

Developer tools

• hw_script - this is Tcl/Tk extension that provides direct access to hardware. Useful for examining and modifying video card registers. Prerelease binary version for Windows: hws_win.zip.
• atitvout - this utility was developed by Lennart Poettering to control TV-out capabilities of ATI adaptors from the command line.
• Register grabber for Rage Theatre (by Michal Schwarz, communicated by Kostal Ivo). (rttest source). (latest version can be found on Michal's homepage).
  Note: it is very likely that it will not recognize your card because it has a different PCI id. To get it to work with your card lookup your card's PCI id in /proc/pci and then replace in rttest.exe at offset 0003:faa3 0x46 0x52 (which stands for PCI id 0x5246) with PCI id for you card. Here is the dump of rttest.exe around 0003:faa3:
