Two Steps Forward for Linux Multimedia
chill writes: "A while ago Heroine Virtual had a video editing program out called Broadcast 2000. Then something weird happened and the program was pulled from release with the homepage saying it was too dangerous legally to put out. Something about liability. Anyway, the successor to that program, called Cinelerra, is now available in beta form. Give it a shot and see what is what." And Dominic Mazzoni writes: "Talk about a tough act to follow. On the same day that Mozilla 1.0 was released last week, we released version 1.0.0 of Audacity, our GPL cross-platform audio editor that has been under development for nearly three years. It is based on wxWindows and runs natively on Linux (of course!), Windows, Mac OS (both 9 and X), and some other POSIX systems. Version 1.0.0 just adds a couple of minor features and bug fixes, but it is basically stable and quite useful, though it has some limitations. In addition, we also released a snapshot of our unstable development branch as Audacity 1.1.0. This version adds support for 24-bit and 32-bit samples, automatic resampling, LADSPA plug-ins, and internationalization, plus it has many nifty new UI enhancements."
YOU SMELL!
Like a barrel of rotting fruit Stinking up the jungle under the hot tropical sun.
You should be ecstatic. Thats what the moderators want. Anything less is an unacceptable troll.
With respect to Mozilla, Mozilla 1.0 was released with a major remote DoS, that causes the whole X to crash (see Security Focus).
By the way, this Linux Multimedia reminds me the old Amiga days, back when people used to broadcast commercials using it. I feel that's the same for Linux as well, i.e. it's left back to the Amiga age. Kisses
sure. in the grave... lnux is dying.
June 15th, 2002 - Jihad will come. Many will die. Few will survive. A new age of trolling will emerge.
I use GIMP to draw each frame and then I save it in an OPEN SOURCE format!!
This couldn't come at a better time, IMHO. As a manager at a small media company, I have been very interested in the low price/high reliability of the Linux platform. The one thing holding us back to Windows and Mac was the apps. They just aren't there one Linux, yet.
But I'm downloading both of these now, and this may precipitate a switch in the near future. Admittedly, much of our work is in Flash, in the 468x60 and 336x280 formats, with no sound. But the industry may definitely expand in that direction, and we are already anticipating it.
I'm very excited about the possibilities, as all Linux aficionados should be.
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
and you know what... because of their coding inability... their product will stay lame...
until these coders get off their lasy asses and write it natively in linux it will suck. Screw windows, it already has 50 thousand video editing suites, write one for linux
Maybe you should tell your boyfriend about your heterosexual tendencies.
It's true! The Trolls are taking over. Admit it: The writing is on the wall. Katz is a troll, half of the stories are about Lunix (everyone knows that if BSD is dying, then Lunix is commiting suicide) and the quality of user comments has reached an all time low. This place will not be fun anymore to troll and I may weep. I'm sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't cry, but I can't help myself. It really is a sad day for Slashdot.
