Cinelerra 2.0 Released

Eugenia writes "The best open source A/V production environment for Linux today, Cinelerra, has reached version 2.0. It sports H.264 video encoding/decoding & MPEG-4 audio encoding through Quicktime4Linux, the ability to load any MPEG or IFO file directly, the ability to import raw digital camera files through dcraw, gamma correction for raw digital camera files, better chroma key support and much more. On a similar note, the promising DIVA home video editor (written in GStreamer and Mono/GTK#) is progressing fast as well."

Kubrick is Smiling in Heaven

[Sundroid]

Geeking out about technology is fine, but real creativity and bravery happen when you pick up a video camera and start shooting.

I've just looked at "2001: a Space Odyssey", Kubrick's masterpiece, again recently, and although it was made in 1968--a time when these fancy computer-aided motion-picture tools were not available--the special effects still look spectacular. Yeah, 1968, when Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both only 13 years old. Indeed, in "2001", you cannot spot a keyboard, a mouse, or a laptop, and guess what? A computer (HAL-9000) is one of the leading characters. I've written a re-review of "2001" (at http://sunandfun.blogspot.com/2005/09/2001-space-o dyssey-by-stanley-kubrick.html) on my blog (http://sunandfun.blogspot.com/), if anyone's interested.
