tvtime is a high quality TV viewing application that takes input from a capture card, processes it, and displays it on the screen. It supports multiple deinterlacing algorithms and video filters.

dvgrab receives audio and video data from a digital camcorder via an IEEE 1394 (widely known as FireWire) link and stores them into an AVI file. It features autosplit of long video sequences into several files, and supports saving the data as raw frames, AVI type 1, AVI type 2, and image files.

NewVideoRecorder is a high quality video capture toolkit for Linux. It includes deep buffering of audio and video to reduce frame dropping, a smooth dropping algorithm to keep the video smooth if dropping is required, and dynamic stretching of the audio stream to exactly match the video stream. It can use v4l1 and v4l2 devices as video sources, and OSS devices as an audio source. It can produce QuickTime, AVI, NuppelVideo 0.52 files, MPEG-1 files, and all files supported by ffmpeg (through the ffmpeg library). It also includes tools and utilities for high quality video streaming (multicast and unicast).

VCR enables you to record TV programs using a video4linux-compatible video grabber card. It doesn't require a graphical environment, and by using the avifile library, it can use popular Windows codecs (DivX, Indeo Video 5) for realtime encoding.

CamStream is a tool for webcams and TV grabber cards that allows for streaming video from multiple video sources. It can save and/or upload (FTP) timed snapshots. It provides a GUI frontend to control the video devices.

LibRaw is a library for reading RAW files obtained
from digital photo cameras (CRW/CR2, NEF, RAF,
DNG, and others). LibRaw is based on the source
codes of the dcraw utility, though some of the
drawbacks of dcraw have been eliminated. The users
of the library are provided with an API to be used
when writing their software programs.

Mumudvb is a program that redistributes streams from DVB on a network using multicast or HTTP unicast. Its main feature is to multicast a whole DVB transponder by assigning each channel a different multicast Group. It can operate Conditional Access Modules (CAM), and therefore works with encrypted streams. It has very low CPU and memory usage.

xvidcap is a screen capture application enabling
you to capture videos from your XFree86 desktop
for illustration or documentation purposes. It is
intended to be a standards-based alternative to
tools like Lotus ScreenCam.

DigicaMerge is a commandline tool to merge directories of pictures taken with digital cameras. If you've got a digital camera, your hard disk probably contains many directories full of pictures all named with the same names. This utility allows you to merge such directories' contents into a new directory, and renames all the pictures on the fly, ensuring no filename clash will occur. You can define your own naming scheme, using either a set of predefined variables or any recognized Exif tag which may be present in your pictures, and also specify a pattern to select only certain files.

ETV is a personal video recorder (PVR) especially
suited for European use. It can schedule by hand
or according to rules based on XMLTV. It can also
time-shift. The recorder runs on Linux, and the
scheduler and frontend on either Linux or Windows.
Its GUI is designed to be used with a remote on a
TV screen.

Linux Video Surveillance (eLViS) provides a user interface for watching motion frames captured by the motion program as JPEG files. It has VCR-like controls, rewind, stop, play, and fast forward. It lets you view up to four motion threads (camera sources) and has a simple configuration panel.
