Of course it is. Happily, we as the musicians can sit back and enjoy watching the video-people being flogged - and flogging themselfs. As long as one can arrange an agreement with the video-makers, that generic 48/16 BC-Wave-files are the most exotic stuff to be delivered, I do not see a danger of being seriously hurt when working for a soundtrack. Just get a generic MPEG or DV file of the movie. Convert it like this: http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/doc/ar01s03.html#video_formats extract the soundtrack from the orignal file to a wav-file open a new session in Ardour and import the basic soundtrack, make sure that Ardours clock-source is set to "jack" and that it is time master. start xjadeo like this: xjadeo file_converted_as_seen_above.avi Here starts the fun-part. The movie in xjadeo will follow every move of the cursor in Ardour (it will sync to any other jack-capable timline-oriented app as well...) Exporting the session to a format, that the videomakers prefer could be somewhat more challenging then to export a classic stereo-file for CD/LP.... Dolby-Surround encoding and the like are a completely different matter good luck ;-) > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksXtbAACgkQ1Aecwva1SWNr/QCdGh1pluAZ8EqQ/v2/eCsKVZN2 5OYAn1G0tqZA632WOKv+sntAYoUxHSOA =666n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
