libdvdcss is a cross-platform library for transparent DVD device access with on-the-fly CSS decryption. It currently runs under Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, BeOS, Win95/Win98, Win2k/WinXP, MacOS X, HP-UX, QNX, and OS/2. It is used by libdvdread and most DVD players such as VLC because of its portability and because, unlike similar libraries, it does not require your DVD drive to be region locked.
TOIlet is a tool that renders ASCII and ANSI art text, just like FIGlet but with many enhancements. It has support for Unicode glyphs and ANSI colours within fonts and ANSI colour input. It can also apply filters on the output (rotate, colourise, etc.) and can produce output in various formats, including ANSI, HTML, and SVG.
