Hi, I'm Andrea Venturi, i've been working with my colleague Lorenzo Pallara, since 2004, on a free DVB TS server software called JustDvb-It. Then early this year we have been start-upping a company doing the same stuff. So today, after some more development, we are proud to announce the birth of OpenCaster <http://www.avalpa.com/the-key-values/15-free-software/33-opencaster> version 1.0, the first release after Avalpa start up. http://www.avalpa.com/component/content/article/12-newsflash/35-opencaster-ver10-release-today-2062008 OpenCaster is still a free (free as freedom <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html>) software for transport stream generation and management useful for many purposes: carousel server, PSI table generator, datacasting, MPEG2 "poor man" playout system. OpenCaster of course, grows on top of JustDvb-It <http://www.cineca.tv/labs/mhplab/JustDVb-It%202.0.html>, the previous free software we were carrying on in Cineca (kudos for them to give us this great opportunity!) Actually there are three main new features : * *TS conversion (with right PCR) of ffmpeg <http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/> encoded PS (PCR stamping in ffmpeg TS is someway broken!)* * *PCR stamping for Transport Stream bitrate change* * *hot multplexing of many SPTS in a single MPTS* Many more smaller ones are well embedded in the software (please read all the description files like *Readme* and *CHANGES*) We made a manual too, after many requests. It's a 70 page user manual and should be useful to ramp up quickly http://www.avalpa.com/assets/freesoft/opencaster/OpenCasterUserManual-v0.5.pdf To get this stuff, create an account <http://www.avalpa.com/component/user/?task=register> and then go to the reserved area <http://www.avalpa.com/reserved-area>. Please, *it could take some time* for the registration email to get delivered. Don't worry, it works. Let us know when you find a bug or some unexpected result. Write to opencaster-support@xxxxxxxxxx We are wide open to hear your complaints or success stories! Bye Andrea Venturi _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
