BBC releases open source online video projects

By Robert Niles. Posted: 2005-07-12

The BBC has introduced a section on its website for a variety of open source software projects.

The projects include Media Lounge, a C++ application which "displays an interactive, shared virtual world, in which the content author can embed audio and video sequences," a video codec and modules for Apache and Comprehensive Perl Archive Network.

Together, the projects, for which source code is freely available, provide building blocks that could help tech-savvy online video journalists develop more robust online video productions and distribution channels.
