libkate Description

A karaoke and text codec library for embedding in ogg Most of the time, this would be multiplexed with audio/video to carry subtitles, song lyrics (with or without karaoke data), etc, but doesn't have to be. A possible use of a lone Kate stream would be an e-book. Moreover, the motion feature gives Kate a powerful means to describe arbitrary curves, so hand drawing of shapes can be achieved. This was originally meant for karaoke use, but can be used for any purpose. Motions can be attached to various semantics, like position, color, etc, so scrolling or fading text can be defined.Kate is an overlay codec, originally designed for karaoke and text, that can be multiplixed in Ogg. Text and images can be carried by a Kate stream, and animated. Most of the time, this would be multiplexed with song lyrics (with or without karaoke data), audio/video to carry subtitles, etc, but doesn't have to be.Series of curves (splines, segments, etc) may be attached to various properties (text position, font size, etc) to create animated overlays. This allows scrolling or fading text to be defined. This can even be used to draw arbitrary shapes, so hand drawing can also be represented by a Kate stream.Example uses of Kate streams are movie subtitles for Theora videos, either text based, as may be created by ffmpeg2theora, or image based, such as created by Thoggen (patching needed), and lyrics, as created by oggenc, from vorbis-tools.
