well, I was taken aback by your formulation "cinelerra beater" I'm no coder, so I can't judge the accomplishments of the software from that standpoint - I'm sure what he's doing is not easy. I got it up and running with not too much effort on a Fedora 7 P4 2.8 GHz w/ 1 GB ram box -- of a large assortment of media I have here on this machine, the only thing it could load and play was a dvx file; it didn't like any .mpg .avi or .wmv files (not that I would expect the latter, nor the .avi for that matter, depending on what was inside it), but the mpg files come from a broadcast news source, and play on almost anything. So, that was a surprise. Not much in the way of other features, either. The dvx file played only very haltingly, jerking forward every few frames. People are using Cinelerra in production environments and making movies with it -- I think OMM has a long way to go to beat Cinelerra. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
