I have now one of those "prosumer" Full HD avchd camcorders - Canon HFS100.
I did install almost everything from svn, because I needed very bleeding egde tools for avchd. But there are good howtos for that. ----- stu...@ubuntu-studio:~/Bin$ x264 --version x264 0.68.1185 2956905 built on Jul 24 2009, gcc: 4.3.3 stu...@ubuntu-studio:~/Bin$ ffmpeg --version FFmpeg version SVN-r19505, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al. configuration: --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-pthreads --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab libavutil 50. 3. 0 / 50. 3. 0 libavcodec 52.32. 0 / 52.32. 0 libavformat 52.36. 0 / 52.36. 0 libavdevice 52. 2. 0 / 52. 2. 0 libswscale 0. 7. 1 / 0. 7. 1 built on Jul 24 2009 13:39:03, gcc: 4.3.3 ffmpeg: missing argument for option '--version' stu...@ubuntu-studio:~/Bin$ kdenlive --version Qt: 4.5.1 KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) Kdenlive: 0.7.5 (rev. 3762) ----- But it is very good to know that you can quite safely buy an avchd camcorder beside good ol' minidv camcorder (dvgrab and kino). And kdenlive/ffmpeg make good job when you like to shrink something for the web (blip.tv etc). You can shrink 30Mt/20s (mts) to 3Mt (mp4/aac) and it still looks decent on the web. ----- This very new video area is very important to the Ubuntu Studio, equal to the real time kernel, I think... And I hope that Karmic will support "prosumer" avchd camcorders out of the box...
