Veejay is a visual instrument and realtime video sampler It allows you to "play" the video like you would play a piano. While playing, you can record the resulting video directly to disk (video sampling). Veejay can be operated live by using the keyboard (which is 100% user definable) and / or remotely over ethernet by one or more users.
Veejay's official website can be found at http://veejay.dyne.org
