One of the first comments on the new UNIX history video, from a non-unix person with many years experience in video, was:
I'm planning to produce another video on this topic sometime later this year, with a title like "The Dark History of UNIX" where we show the history of the legal and trademark battles that besieged and hurt UNIX in the 2000 - 2010 time frame.
It's not a favorite topic of mine (the years of legal battles), but it might make an informative video and there are "no shortages" of "history videos" that do not cover the years of self-defeating legal wrangling.

swf::videostream
.::SWF::VideoStream(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation .::SWF::VideoStream(3pm)
NAME
SWF::VideoStream - SWF Video class
SYNOPSIS
use SWF::VideoStream;
$videostream = new SWF::VideoStream("test.flv");
DESCRIPTION
SWF::VideoStream is a helper class useful for playing videos via SWF applications, either via embedded video data, or controlled by
ActionScript.
METHODS
$videostream = new SWF::VideoStream($filename)
Creates a SWF::VideoStream object. If the file can't be opened the constructor will return an empty object. The filename is not limited
to 'flv' extension.
$frames = $videostream->getNumFrames()
This method returns the number of video-frames of an object of SWF::VideoStream, this works only for embedded streams. In case of error
you will get result of -1.
$videostream->setDimension(width, height)
This method sets width and height for streamed videos, this works only on streamed videos (progressive download or rtmp).
$bool = $videostream->hasAudio()
A test whether the embedded FLV stream also has audio data.
$videostream->setFrameMode($mode)
If the mode == SWFVIDEOSTREAM_MODE_AUTO (default) on every SWF movie frame a video frame is added. In SWFVIDEOSTREAM_MODE_MANUAL mode,
the user needs to call the nextFrame() method to change the video's frame. This works only with embedded video streams. Does return
the previous mode or -1 if an invalid mode was passed.
$result = $videostream->nextFrame()
Switch to next video frame. Works only with embedded video streams. Returns -1 if an error happend. Here follows some demo code how to
use SWF::VideoStream objects (without ActionScript):
use SWF qw(:ALL); # to be lazy
$movie = new SWF::Movie();
$movie->setRate( 25 );
# $movie->setRate( 5 ); # e.g. 5 for slow motion
# here movie set background etc. etc.
#
$video=new SWF::VideoStream('MyTestVideo.flv');
die if (-1 == $v->getNumFrames()); # abort if something went wrong
#
$video->setFrameMode(SWF::Constants::SWFVIDEOSTREAM_MODE_MANUAL);
$video->seek(1000, 0); # for example only
$displayitem = $movie->add($video);
#
# 250 for a 10 seconds movie part (at rate of 25 per minute)
for(my $n = 0; $n < 250; ++$n)
{
$video->nextFrame();
$movie->nextFrame();
}
$movie->save("MyTestVideo.swf",9);
# that's all, folks
$result = $videostream->seek($frame, $whence)
This functions allows seeking $frame in video stream, returning the old video frame position. As value of $whence use one of the
following:
0 for seeking from beginning
1 for seeking from current position
2 for seeking from end of file
