as much as i'd love to use broadcast2000, there are no plans (and justifiably so for the authors) to use firewire. which means you're stuck in the land of quicktime and mpeg, and your images get munged.
that's all fine and dandy if you're just doing editing to create an EDL (edit list), and then offlining the actual cutting somewhere that can handle the uncompressed data. but if you're looking to produce the final cut yourself, and you're worried about degrading your images at all, this solution won't work.
the broadcast2000 author is concerned about having to fork over the cash to buy the hardware necessary to write firewire support into the system. this is a completely legitimite concern. however, i think that there must be some firewire hardware manufacturer out there that would like to see their stuff on a linux box. matrox, sony... someone out there should be able to afford the donation of a card and camera, don't you think?

$10k? Bah!
Drew Olbrich has a much better idea. Nothing like 3D Asteroids!
- grueactually, no vacation cruise ships that dock in the US can have a US registry, due to a weird US law.
there are some cities in the US (san francisco, for example), and some cruise lines that are currently fighting this law, but nothing yet.
we now return you to the real topic.
