I have not tried Kino, but will soon, seems to me that Cinelerra is "broadcast 
2003" for Nvidia cards with at least 64 megs mem, while it works for me I 
have heard of folks that did not have a GeForce card not being able to use 
it, and it really "looks" like a rework of bcast2000 for a little more 
eyecandy (like bcast2000 was written in C for gtk, and Cinelerra is 
Re-written in C++ for GTK2.
the Power Pack had Main Actor as part of the "commercial" offerings, and while 
it said it was installed, it just started and exited with out an error or an 
open window.

[newbie] video [VCD] editing on ML9.0?

2003-02-28 Thread linux
G'day,

I was wondering:
what's available for Linux that will let me capture video
from my firewire video camera [or open a video file off an
existing VCD], chop out the bits I don't want, maybe a
couple of basic wipes/fades etc, lay it on top of a soundtrack,
then write it to a new VCD?
The firewire card only came with windoze software [Pinnacle
Studio DV] and it's clunky to use; I'm hoping there may be
something that runs on Linux that's better.

TIA ;)
