Freevo Developers Interviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the up-close-and-personal dept.

prostoalex writes "O'Reilly's LinuxDevCenter features Freevo, 'a media platform that brings together various applications for video recording and playback.' They interview the developers, and talk about the current plans for the project. Freevo is not just a standalone product, it's a platform to which other developers, interested in home media on Linux, can plug into."

  1. Windows version? by Anonymous+Cowherd+X · · Score: 5, Funny

    The first release, in May 2002, consisted only of a blue screen

    So they made a Windows version first?

  2. This will never take off. by bigtallmofo · · Score: 4, Funny

    This product will never become popular until the authors implement some solid digital rights management. Several studies funded by the RIAA and MPAA conclusively prove that users want DRM in every piece of software and hardware that is made today.

    I'm afraid without such restrictions on them, users just won't want to use such software because nobody wants free and unfettered access to equipment and software they purchase.
