The bsdav package is a set of programs for audio and video reading and writing. The programs use BSD native devices and the source code is free-as-in-BSD licensed as well.The bsdav package also includes a general purpose library, libbsdav, for both accessing audio(4) and bktr(4) devices, and simple data operations. While one of the goals of the bsdav project is simplicity, another goal is to make A/V processing on *BSD systems "easily" accessible. So to ease the storage and synchronization of both audio and video streams, bsdav has it's own, very simple, A/V container format. Hopefully the bsdav programs are written understandably and correclty enough that they may help others understand how to use audio(4) and bktr(4). bsdav consists of: audiorec - record raw audio streams from audio(4) to file bktrrec - record raw video streams from bktr(4) to file avplay - play raw audio and/or raw video streams bktrplay - display video from bktr(4) via Xv(3X) tunerctl - manipulate bktr(4) tuner devices bsdavrec - records audio and/or video in bsdav(5) streams bsdavplay - play audio and/or video in bsdav(5) streams bsdavdemux - extract audio and/or video from bsdav(5) streams btv - shell script frontend for the above programs libbsdav - general purpose *BSD A/V library
