Open Source C Capture Software for Linux

GraphicsMagick provides a set of commandline tools and programming APIs for manipulating, editing, and converting raster and vector images. It is derived from ImageMagick, with the objective of providing better stability and performance than ImageMagick while retaining the original MIT/X11 license.

NOTE: Project migrated to GitHub in Dec 2020! See https://github.com/Enselic/recordmydesktop recordMyDesktop is a program that captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session, producing an ogg-encapsulated theora-vorbis file. recordMyDesktop tries to be as unobstrusive as possible by proccessing only regions of the screen that have changed

A video thumbnail generator based on FFMPEG.

xvidcap is a screen capture enabling you to capture videos off your X-Window desktop for illustration or documentation purposes. It is intended to be a standards-based alternative to tools like Lotus ScreenCam.

Coriander is a full-featured GUI for IEEE1394, IIDC-compliant digital cameras.

QuickCam VC device driver for linux based on V4L V4L2 specifications.

Canon EOS class remote control utility for 300D, 350D, 30D, 20D and 5D. It is possible to control more of Canon cameras in the same time up to six cameras attached. Multican allows scripted remote control of multiple cameras.

QuickCapture is a simple and easily-extensible application with minimal dependencies, designed to capture and process images taken from web cams. It provides a robust feature set, and includes a plug-in system partly inspired by Pidgin.

Physics Simulation Software based on user sketchs running a pattern recognition agent, this app is able to animate a physics sketch, from a blackboard

MMPython is a Media Meta Data retrieval framework. It retrieves metadata from mp3, ogg, avi, jpg, tiff and other file formats. Among others it thereby parses ID3v2, ID3v1, EXIF, IPTC and Vorbis data into an object oriented struture.

mCamera is a client-server webcam for people who can't or just don't want to use webserver for sharing their webcam pictures. The client part compiles and works in windows too.

Remotely configure and schedule recording of TV show on your PC

GLFFmpeg uses the video recording functionality provided by the FFmpeg library to capture content generated using OpenGL. The cross-platform library provides a minimalistic set of API to simplify the task of capturing OpenGL output to a video stream. GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (LGPLv2.1)

guvcview is a video viewer and capture software for the linux UVC driver. It is based in luvcview (http://mxhaard.free.fr), but all controls are done with GTK, allowing for a more user friendly GUI.

Java API for controling 1394 Digital Cameras (based on libdc1394: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdc1394/ for Linux, and on: CMU 1394 DC http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~iwan/1394/ for Win32). On Top of the library comes a RCP plugin and a JMF capture dev

Project abandoned! Sorry, I havent found the time to keep this project updated. Please see https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer for the designated sucessor site. Thanks to everyone who contributed and is using the software. MJPG-streamer takes JPGs from Linux-UVC compatible webcams, filesystem or other input plugins and streams them as M-JPEG via HTTP to webbrowsers, VLC and other software. It is the successor of uvc-streamer, a Linux-UVC streaming application with Pan/Tilt

This card will capture High Definition Video 1280x720 at 30fps, and soon be capable of 60fps and maybe even 1080p. This is a hardware project so source code, RTL, and board CAD files will be involved. All IC's and parts should be easily available.

Superseded by the GSPCA driver in the mainline kernel. Development now at http://linuxtv.org/ [Formerly: Linux device driver for SPCA50X based USB cameras (Intel PC Camera Pro)]

Camerad is a daemon to periodically fetch images from IP security cameras via http, store them on the filesystem in an organized manner and keep updated a set of thumbnails.

There are popular tape device ArVid which based on ordinary (PAL/SECAM) VHS & ISA board with PLM which often used in Russia and xUSSR. ArVid board are controled by VHS behind integrated multisystem IRC node. I've coded raw driver for this device. Driver

Camsource is a modularized and multithreaded daemon to provide various clients with frames grabbed from a video4linux device. It uses a plugin system to make it possble to use the captured image stream for different purposes at the same time.

This is a fork of the Elphel cameras firmware CVS, fully open to contributions from the elphel users and developers community Everyone can submit patches or obtain CVS access for this fork Stable changes will be ported to the main CVS upon approv

freeOpenML is a free (OSI) implementation of OpenML for POSIX (4, semaphores, shared memory, threads, realtime, MessageQueues...) OS this include linux >2.6.6 As developers might know OpenML is only a OpenStandard it's sdk is avaible under NDA and pro

gAnim8 is a full suite of tools for building and manipulating animated GIFs & small videos in a Gtk/Gnome environment. Easily create, edit, or preview animated GIFs or videos (MPG, AVI/ASF, WMV, SWF, RM, MOV, M4V), or record videos and take screenshots.
