well, I don't do video 24-7. probably not more than a couple hours a week. true, I don't do much gui editing, mostly just cut and encode. however, I have just gotten avidemux2 to work reasonably well, so that may change some. also, I am subscribed to the mjpegtools, ffmpeg, libquicktime and transcode mailing lists, so even if I don't always use every feature, I do know about them at least a little. however, dvd::rip does work fine on OpenBSD (I just use transcode directly for that, or ffmpeg CLI), and that was one of the very few specifics mentioned. Mr O made it sound like amd64 was not well supported in general. as far as win32 codecs, bah. why? ffmpeg/libavcodec can decode just about anything these days. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
