There is a link to a slackware site on www.cinelerra.org if you do "wget -r -np to that site" you should get most of the dependencies. If you have any problems please email me privately on mettavihari@xxxxxxxxx or ask on the cinelerra mailing list. I have manged to get cinelerra up working (without the bottle);-) And once you get on it then it is like opium. You cannot get off it again.;-) It really is pro. I will have a look at lvempeg.sf.net It sounds interesting and challenging There is also a interface for making dvd's but i have not mastered yet. May be in about 1-2 weeks I should be able to help.
