On other platforms, SVCD support varies depending on the availability of these libraries. (Volunteers for adding support are always welcome.). Handling still frames (often used in menus) and switching between different video formats is problematic.
  3. VLC for GNU/Linux supports V4L2 compatible encoding cards as well as two kinds of MPEG-2 encoding cards: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250/350 and Visiontech Kfir.
  4. Starting with version 0.9.0, VLC supports iSight capturing and processing on Mac OS X 10.5 or later (video only). This is unsupported on 10.4. Additionally, on 10.4 or later, VLC is able to grab video and audio from EyeTV applications and therefore all EyeTV-compatible capture devices. The user needs to install a plugin to EyeTV.app in order to use this features. Guidance is provide in the User Interface.

Firefox Showcase:Mozilla Firefox Add On

Firefox Showcase is a Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Add On that showcases thumbnails  for all tabs of all windows.

You can find the Showcase menu in the ‘View’ menu (just under ‘Sidebar’). The default shortcuts are listed there. Those may be changed using the Keyconfig extension. New buttons will be available when customizing the toolbar.

Showcase can be shown as a window, tab or sidebar. Also, it has two modes: global (which will show thumbnails for all tabs of all windows) and local (thumbnails only for the current Firefox window).

Just click the thumbnail of the browser you want, and it will be shown to you automatically. You may also right click in those thumbnails to perform the most usual operations on them. Multiple thumbanils can be selected by using left click and holding down the Control key, or using the same selection actions you would use in your system. Mouse middle button can be used to zoom a thumbnail. Use Control-F in Showcase to use the find bar.

Check the extension options panel for a wide array of configuration possibilities.

Features

  • Showcase will show thumbnails of all open tabs of any window (or, optionally, only of the invoking window).
  • Thumbnails are resized and distributed on the Showcase window in the best way possible.
  • Showcase can be placed in it’s own window, a tab inside a browser, or as a sidebar. It adds 6 new buttons that may be added to any toolbar.
  • Find bar (can be toggled with CTRL+F), to filter thumbnails and find the ones you’re looking for. From the 0.9.1 version, just start typing in Showcase, and the find bar will be opened automatically.
  • Multiple selection of thumbnails, so different actions can be applied on them (like bookmark, reload, merge…).
  • “Drag & drop” support. Allows tab reordering, moving or copying tabs among windows, or even drag files and URLs that will be opened in new tabs.
  • Enhanced the Firefox 2 tab bar. The “List all tabs” button will open a Showcase instance. Other changes can be found in the Changelog
  • Browsers that are opened or closed will be dinamically added and removed from the thumbnail list, and thumbnails will be updated if the browser they represent loads a new page.
  • Labels are placed on each thumbnail indicating each browser current page title and icon. Loading icon will be shown when content is being loaded.
  • Contextual menu for thumbnails that contains the most common operations for the browsers (like bookmarking, printing, navigation controls…). Completely configurable.
  • There’s an option to disable contextual menu for thumbnails, so it’s possible to assign an action for it.
  • Lots of configuration options, allowing a lot of different possibilities. Plus, it has the ability to import and export the Showcase settings to a text file.
  • Middle click can be used to zoom on a thumbnail (although other functions can be assigned to it using the extension configuration panel).
  • Thumbnail will increase size when the mouse is over. Values over 100% are supported since 0.5.8 version.
  • Keyboard support. Cursors to navigate through the different thumbnails, space for zoom, enter to select and delete to close. F11 will toggle full screen mode, and Esc will close Showcase.
  • IE Tab support. Right now it’s not possible to show a thumbnail of a IE Tab, but it will place a special icon, and will also show the correct URL.
  • Tabs that just contain an image will be handled in a special way, so you’ll be able to see the full image.
  • When thumbnails become too small, a scrollbar will appear.
  • A comprehensive list of features and changes can be found in the Changelog.

Upcoming features

Features listed here will be implemented (probably) at some point.

  • Firefox 3 compatibility.
  • Thumbnail ordering.
  • Context menu for Showcase empty area.
