Unreferenced date April 2010 The cook codec is a Lossy data compression lossy Audio data compression audio compression codec developed by RealNetworks . It is also known as Cooker, Gecko, RealAudio G2, and RealAudio 8 low bitrate RA8LBR . Introduced in 1998, the cook codec was the first audio codec developed by RealNetworks in house, and was named after its author, Ken Cooke. The design was largely based on G.722.1 . http lists.mplayerhq.hu pipermail ffmpeg cvslog 2007 April 007039.html It is a pure transform codec based on the modified discrete cosine transform with a single block size. In 2003, RealNetworks introduced a surround sound version of cook, called RealAudio Multichannel. This was initially designated by the four character code whrl , but is now identified as cook , as mono stereo files are. Although RealNetworks never published a technical description of the cook codec, others have Reverse engineering reverse engineered the format, and as of December 2005, FFmpeg libavcodec contains a decoder capable of playing cook encoded files. As of July 2009, Rockbox is capable of playing cook encoded files as well. See also RealAudio Category Audio codecs ... more details

Notability date February 2010 OpenAVS http sourceforge.net project showfiles.php?group id 168676 is an open source implementation of Audio Video Standard AVS codec, which competes with other modern codecs like H.264 Advanced audio coding AAC Theora http forum.doom9.org showthread.php?t 112792 to replace MPEG 2 as the most widespread standard for audio and video compression. It is speculated that OpenAVS will go the same direction as x264 has gone aiming for the most superior picture quality, but does not provide an encoder yet. Chinese companies own 90 patents of AVS codec AVS . http forum.doom9.org showthread.php?t 112792 http www.avs.org.cn en index.asp It will have twice the efficiency of MPEG2. The audio and video files have an .avs extension as a container format. In January 2005, the AVS codec AVS workgroup submitted the draft report to the Information Industry Department. On March 30, the first trial of Information Industry Department approved that the video part of the draft standard enters the public showing time. An early command line based encoder is available for http sourceforge.net project showfiles.php?group id 168676 download which is in looks approximately equivalent of DivX 5.0 video. OpenAVS has 64 kbit s equivalent audio quality of mp3 at 128 kbit s.

Screen capture tools are very handy for developers to document software and installation procedures. They can also be used by educators to help prepare tutorials for other software. XVidCap is intended to be a standards based, open source alternative to commercial software such as Lotus ScreenCam for UNIX platforms and is similar to Camtasia Studio Camtasia for Microsoft windows. Features XVidCap works using an on line encoding facility with the FFmpeg libavcodec libavformat. It can capture any movement on an X11 display either as single frames like a number of JPEG images or it can encode the captured frames to a video on line. It can also grab and embed an audio recording provided users have an OSS compatible system and FFMPEG libraries with compiled audio capture support. History Rasca Gmelch developed an early version that was able to capture to individual frames and save them in individual screenshot files. Whilst this approach requires considerable storage, these files could later be converted into a video with tools like transcode. As Rasca had no further time to maintain his code, the project and code was migrated to SourceForge by Karl Beckers where it is currently under development.

Shorten is no longer developed and more recent lossless audio codec s such as Free Lossless Audio Codec FLAC , Monkey s Audio APE , TTA codec TTA , and WavPack WV have become more popular. However, Shorten is still in use by some people because there are legally traded concert recordings in circulation that are encoded as Shorten files. Shorten files use the .shn file extension. Handling Shorten files Since few players or media writers attempt to decompress Shorten files, a standalone decompression program is usually required to convert to a different file format that those applications can handle. Some Rockbox applications can play Shorten files without decompression, and a third party Shorten plug in exists for Nero Burning ROM , but these are the only known players to be able to do so.
