BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another. FTP punishes sites for being popular. Since all uploading is done from one place, a popular site needs big iron and big bandwidth. With BitTorrent, clients automatically mirror files they download, making the publisher's burden almost nothing.

This project aims to create an alternative to MythTV for Linux-based machines. The project will utilize the already-proven capabilities of the VLC project for video decoding and playback, and combine them with the proven networking and database
... [More]
capabilities of Java to create a stable, portable PVR application that should (hopefully) be available for Windows and OS X in the not-too-distant future.
As with MythTV, LegendTV will separate the PVR system into a presentation tier (front-end), which handles playback via a Swing or Java3D-based GUI (user preference), and an application tier (back-end), which handles scheduling, recording, and file management. This will allow multiple front-end machines to utilize a single back-end, multiple back-ends to be managed by a single front-end, or any combination of the two. One of the most important goals of the project is to ensure high usability, high reliability, and excellent performance/responsiveness.
The user interface and a large portion of the application tier will be implemented during the Fall quarter of 2008 as part of a class project for 4010-444 - Engineering Methods of Software Usability, a Software Engineering course at the Rochester Institute of Technology. [Less]

Vusion is basically a video mixer that supports input from either an image, MPEG-1 encoded video or from a Video4Linux device. Vusion was written in python and uses the pygame library for mixing.
It's designed to be controlled via a MIDI controller

rather than a standard mouse or keyboard. I chose to design it this way because MIDI is an invaluable system for theatrical productions and the specific timing of effects is vital. Using MIDI allows Vusion to be easily controlled via a MIDI Show Control application.
Additionally Vusion will eventually support the rm-rf SIPC (Show Inter-Process Communication) Standard which uses dbus to control applications similarly to a MIDI Show Control program.
Project StatusAs of November 2007, Vusion is being rewritten to have a better modular and more defined code-structure. The next release of Vusion will probably be 2.0 which will have many new features:
Pluggable 2D Effects Pluggable 3D Effects (With OpenGL) Setting transparency for individual surfaces Transitioning between a pre-defined combination of surfaces Improved and powerful XML configuration allowing robust and extensive MIDI control Support for more than 2 surfaces Configuration now in one file that conforms to the rm-rf XML Configuration Document standard Some simple built-in 2D effects: Translate, Rotate, Zoom, Per channel gamma changing Some simple built-in 3D effects: Surface 'flip', Box transition [Less]
