From time to time, I look into trying video editing on Linux, dabble with some semi-functional software, and give up in disgust. There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding in what's needed with video editing (and some other video related things, like DVD-video backing up), in that we need to create an end-product that's directly usable by someone else. If I create a video, I have to give someone on a DVD that they can play in a standard player connected to their TV set. Ogg theora output is useless. The input side of things is similarly warped. I need to be able to import DV, and work on the files in their own format. Notwithstanding the problems in trying to get video into a system on a virtually ignored firewire port, converting digital video from one format to another is not only wastefully time consuming, but damaging to video quality. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
