I've been monitoring PiTiVi for a long time now, playing with it after each release. I agree that is the best long term source of hope for Linux users. It has reached the point where it could be used to create a simple screencast without too much pain. Doing real video editing is still a long way off. A year from now is being optimistic unless more people begin to contribute. -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
