Can you hear the difference between a CD and a high-quality MP3? If not, stop here, do not pass go, and do not collect $200 :-) Just buy a couple of portable MP3 players (el cheapo flash-based that you don't care about and a nice hard-drive jukebox), buy a slimp3, use easytag to clean up all your tags and make sure your music collection is all well-ripped, then sell off the whole pile of CD's and CD players to someone who likes dead technology. If you can hear the difference, skip ogg entirely and rip the music using FLAC, then transcode to ogg or mp3 or whatever as the mood strikes you.

What belongs to digital video processing: http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/ Further MainActor5 seems to be shipped with Mandrake PowerPack (according to my rpmdrake), i guess its a trial version or a beta. Cinerella may be of interest for you too as well as mplayer/mencoder, transcode, avidemux etc pp. I have a digital camcorder here as well as a firewire card, but haven't tried them a long time. However, i have a digital tv card and a lot recordings of it, so i play a lot with video tools. Since some days i have too a dvd-burner and want to play with dvdauthor (http://dvdauthor.sourceforge.net/) Till then http://polidori.chapelperilous.net/roadmap.mhtml might be interesting for you too. Beside that it isn't your focus it might contain interesting information as well: http://www.bunkus.org/dvdripping4linux/en/single/index.html and a not really linux specific site, but with a lot of knowledge http://www.doom9.org/ .

What's available for Linux Multimedia resources? By that I mean email lists, books, and websites. My interests are in mostly audio right now, but I am trying to get my sweetie to get me a digital movie camera for Christmas, so that might change. I would love to understand the details of the differences between oggs and mp3, I would love to find out about noise filtering and ID3v1 vs ID3v2, and converting between them. How about other tools than Audacity and Gramofile? Or maybe this tells me to just stay here, and ask away. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
