No its not. Video playback with an audio lag of several seconds? Not good.
You're confusing synchronization and latency. There's no particular reason you can't buffer up a few seconds of audio, yet make sure that audio is played exactly when the video calls for it.
For many uses you can (and should) buffer few secs of audio and video, but there are definitely cases where it's not possible. One case for example is realtime audio effects. You get audio stream from audiocard input, do processing and send stuff to audiocard output. You just can't have latency of more than few ms between input and output. So no buffering
It's possible to slipstream drivers into a Windows Install disk.
Not without an existing Windows install. Actually somehow it's likely to be possible. For Sun Ultra 24 and 40, there is unix (works with linux and solaris) utility in tools cd which creates new windows image from existing windows install cd. And it installs all necessary drivers into that new windows image.
I don't know how it works, but I suppose it does some kind of slipstream operation.
I was particularly impressed when I saw the Java refactoring things in Eclipse. Just select a few lines with a loop or so, right-click 'Extract method', name it and the rest is automatic. Emacs and vi won't get that sort of language integration ever, I think.
Might not get, but Eclipse has got ViPlugin. So you actually can use familiar vi-editing inside eclipse with all the bells and whistles of eclipse!
I was hoping, but... this does not include the only thing I Really Need compatibility with: Powerpoint.

While I think most would agree they are short-changing themselves, I hardly see how this could be hurting anyone else. A legitimate copy of the movie has been purchased, so Royalties have been paid.
Do you really think, that money means everything? As artist I dont care about getting paid as much as I care about getting my point shown. When creating some artwork, be it music, movies or paintings, you put your soul and vision in that production! When someone mutilates that work, its no wonder artists is going to be mad.
Yes, money _does_ matter, but if someone really is in entertainment industry, money cannot be the most importat thing!
I have been involved in art scene since I was 4y old, have my credits in few records, many theatrical productions, and many other mystical productions. Currently I am involved in production of one music video and working as lighting designer as my secondary profession. (I'm also working as administrator in our university)
I have a strong opinion against altering the work of others. When creating some art, even little details are of importance. In video this might be something flashing in the screen for only few frames, but might be something director or DP have been thinking and working on for few weeks! And by omitting such detail, one might alter the whole meening of the work. And no one except those who are the producers(*) of the work can know the true meaning...
For example consider Orson Welles Citizen Kane. If someone should remove the last scene from that movie, where the 'Rosebud' is burned, meaning of the movie! And even more dangerous example: Kubricks Full Metal Jacket. Who could say what is the important thing in this movie, which makes it one of the best anti-war movies? By removing something, it might be able to transform this into pro-war movie... (That is at least what I think...)
And for those things I have created (or have been in artistic position of production), I dont have problem if someone alters those somehow, but if they want to distribute it, I definitely want to check the altered version before distribution! And at least in Finland this is also what copyright law says...
(*) By producer I dont mean that 'big corporation behind everything'. I mean those persons, who are actively working on the production in artistic positions. This means depending on the type of production f.e. Director, Director of Photography, Editor, Lighting designers, Composers, Musicians, Actors and many others...
The only people who are going to be generating and using 320Gb of original data (large databases, video streams, etc) are going to be able to afford to back it up anyway, because they're professionals rather than home users.
And even then (video production) it might not be needed to backup all of that data. In professional video editing programs (f.e. Avid), all video is captured with exact timecode saved directly to current project. So when that 320GB of videocache blows once in about 4 years, you can still access your current projects from your 10GB project partition (which is backed up regularly, and is on different drive than data). Recapturing of the original videos from original DVCAM/Digibeta/Betacam/whatever tapes is simply few keystrokes away. Granted, it does take time on long project with lots of source videos, but it is not that hard operation...
And backup of 320GB is trivial operation with proper hardware, but its not cheap. (f.e. look at http://www.tandberg.com/automation/slr_lib.html ) But if you really need that data, price is not the most important point.

I'v just had a very hard time with (semi-professional) video editing. The end result was less than 15min, and it required more than 30Gb to store the videofiles. I even had to temporarely give my/home to windows-devil... (Sadly, as far as I know, there is no good offline video-editing software for linux...) This is good news, even if the software grows. Today windown (with videoediting software) uses less than 800Mb, which is less than 5% of my hard disk space. I would not be sad, if software also uses same 5% of 75Gb hard disk. In that case I would have 71.25Gb for data - much better than 28.5Gb today!

no it's poor design and poor (probably not existent) testing.
They intended to vote so where is the buzzer/audio feedback along the different stages of the process.
How about the big warning when no vote was cast.
How about not returning the card until the proces is complete - think atm machine.
Software design these days no one pays attention to detail...
How about using the current system, which works well, is simple and is easily verified...

I'll have to take a look at those too!
AJA has linux support, drivers and SDK for (at least) their OEM boards: http://www.aja.com/html/products_oem.html
and Bluefish444 has Linux SDK available to registered OEM customers: bluefish444 OEM
We are about to try those for use in our product in Q4/08 (hopefully)... If anyone knows other possibilities we would like to know!
... a video input/output card for Linux that supports component (YPbPr) video.
There are lots of products from several manufacturers to choose from:Deltacast
AJA
Bluefish444
They are high quality professional grade cards and the price range is also high.
