Linux Multimedia Hacks - O’Reilly

The fact that Linux has more multimedia application choices than Mac OS
X and Windows combined may come as a surprise to many, but not to those
who know Linux well. In Linux Multimedia Hacks,
author Kyle Rankin showcases the best available multimedia tools so you
can maximize the entertainment capabilities of your favorite OS.
Included are tips and tricks for connecting to iPods, creating MP3s and
Oggs, watching and making DVDs, turning your Linux box into a Tivo ala
MythTV, and much more.

You don’t have to be a Linux server guru to make use of this book. Linux Multimedia Hacks
takes the best of Linux’s multimedia tools and with step-by-step
instructions shows even novice users how to do cool and useful things
with images, audio, and video. It includes entry level hacks that
nearly all Linux users will want, such as installing codecs for audio
and video playback and managing thousands of photographs. Later, you’ll
find hacks that cover a variety of advanced projects, from ripping and
organizing media files with metatags, to editing video and audio
tracks, to creating your own DVDs. Basic or advanced, each hack stands
on its own, so you can feel free to jump around to only the sections
that interest you.

The book is divided into five easy-to-understand chapters:

• Images: tips range from basic image edits to automated image manipulation
• Audio: hacks include audio format conversion and tweaking metadata within audio files
• Video: learn how to covert between video formats, plus how to create your own VCDs and DVDs
• Broadcast Media: tips include how to access and create you own web broadcasts as well as watch and record TV
• Web: learn how to make your multimedia creations available to the world

As one of the most powerful multimedia platforms around, Linux has far
more capabilities and features than meets the eye. This latest Hacks
book gives you the technical chops to enjoy them all.
