BBC Promotes Open Source Media Tools


digitaljournalismgif.gifRobert Niles, editor of Online Journalism Review, points to a new section of the BBC’s website that lists “a variety of open source software projects” that together “provide building blocks that could help tech-savvy online video journalists develop more robust online video productions and distribution channels.”

The list of projects includes Dirac, “a state of the art video codec that provides general-purpose video compression and decompression tools” and Media Lounge, “a C++ application, based on the “Crystal Space 3D” game engine SDK [that] displays an interactive, shared virtual world, in which the content author can embed audio and video sequences.”
