Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of
multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of
performance and resource isolation.

This package contains the Xen Hypervisor. (tm)

Modern computers are sufficiently powerful to use virtualization to
present the illusion of many smaller virtual machines (VMs), each
running a separate operating system instance. Successful partitioning
of a machine to support the concurrent execution of multiple operating
systems poses several challenges. Firstly, virtual machines must be
isolated from one another: It is not acceptable for the execution of
one to adversely affect the performance of another. This is
particularly true when virtual machines are owned by mutually
untrusting users. Secondly, it is necessary to support a variety of
different operating systems to accommodate the heterogeneity of popular
applications. Thirdly, the performance overhead introduced by
virtualization should be small.

Xen uses a technique called paravirtualization: The guest OS is
modified, mainly to enhance performance.

The Xen hypervisor (microkernel) does not provide device drivers for
your hardware (except for CPU and memory). This job is left to the
kernel that's running in domain 0. Thus the domain 0 kernel is
privileged; it has full hardware access. It's started immediately after
Xen starts up. Other domains have no access to the hardware; instead
they use virtual interfaces that are provided by Xen (with the help of
the domain 0 kernel).

Xen does support booting other Operating Systems; ports of NetBSD
(Christian Limpach), FreeBSD (Kip Macy), and Plan 9 (Ron Minnich)
exist. A port of Windows XP was developed for an earlier version of
Xen, but is not available for release due to license restrictions.

In addition to this package you need to install the kernel-xen and
xen-tools to use Xen. Xen 3 also supports running unmodified guests
using full virtualization, if appropriate hardware is present. Install
xen-tools-ioemu if you want to use this.

ConsoleKit is a system daemon for tracking what users are logged into
the system and how they interact with the computer (e.g. which keyboard
and mouse they use).

QtAV is a multimedia playback library based on Qt and FFmpeg. It can help
facilitate writing a player application.

Features include:
* Hardware decoding suppprt: DXVA2, VAAPI, VDA, CedarX, CUDA
* OpenGL and ES2 support for Hi10P and other 16-bit YUV videos
* Real time preview
* Video capture in RGB and YUV format
* OSD and custom filters
* Subtitles
* Transform video using GraphicsItemRenderer. (rotate, shear, etc)
* Playing frame by frame (currently support forward playing)
* Playback speed control
* Variant streams: locale file, http, rtsp, etc.
* Audio channel, tracks and external audio tracks
* Dynamically change render engine when playing
* Multiple video outputs for 1 player
* Region of interest(ROI), i.e. video cropping
* Video eq: brightness, contrast, saturation, hue
* QML support as a plugin. Most playback APIs are compatible with
QtMultiMedia module

WebM is an open, royalty-free, media file format designed for the web.

WebM defines the file container structure, video and audio formats.
WebM files consist of video streams compressed with the VP8 video codec
and audio streams compressed with the Vorbis audio codec.
The WebM file structure is based on the Matroska container.
