Is it only me, but not being able to develop in C++ is a show stopper...
Ok I know there is the NDK, tried that done that... having to read an tutorial of several pages to explain how to attach your debugger is not for me. I would be glad to pay for an IDE with a comfortable debugger in C++ for Android... until that I stay coding on my Mac...
Yes
I coded a flash client that load the flash plugin through the NAPI interface. We use that in our VJing application and everything run in one single thread even when we load and mix several flash files in the same time.
What about debugging C++ code with the NDK? I found that very painful with the previous version of the NDK. I am sure the guys from VLC tried to run their code since a long time but found it not easy. I got some openGL code running with it but when I started to have problems and needed to debug my app it was too painful...
When I interview developers I show then a shader that draws the Mandelbrot fractal and I ask them what language do you think is this code written and of course what do you think is going to be displayed by this so small code loop, this is leading me to very interesting discussion with the candidate!
To me the real problem of this post is that it's just so difficult to find music to use on your video work.
There should be a way to buy, on a reasonable way, the right to add some music to my holiday videos...
There are a few initiatives out there such as Jamendo but we should be able to license more music to be included in home brewed videos... And guess what the industry could even make some profit from that:-)
For me as a developer fighting software piracy I can at least ask to Rapidshare to remove copyrighted content, and thanks to the web search services I can receive warnings when new version are poping out... Of course it's a lot of work but it's worth doing it.
In europe we have a lot of sat receivers built around Linux. I personally use a Dreambox. There are many variations on the distributions with different add ons and themes for interface. My favorite is the Gemini. The ecosystem is very well and alive and is centered around many forums where people exchange their experience
I wonder if this provider uses something based on the Dreambox.
The providers very often don't support using those Linux receiver because they have more options then the locked down proprietary receiver. By example my setup has a rotor so that I can pick many positions and different providers. Another cool thing is that you can stream on your local network the video and see it with VLC on any computer in your home, something that proprietary boxes never allow...
The problem is that there are several Chinese clones because if the software is GPL the hardware is not open sourced.
Those are completely procedural worlds from the creator of Bryce. It's based on Artmatics that can be used to generate fantastic textures and then there is a ray tracer that can use ray casting to create the landscape.
The latest move of Eric Wenger was to use that to generate procedural cities and the result to me is fantastic.
In my company (ArKaos) we now have to use FFMPEG for several codecs and implement a complete Netscape Host to be able to decompress flash animations.
This situation is a complete nightmare but hopefully there are solutions if you want to continue to develop video software on the Mac.
Implementing a Flash Host to overcome the Flash disaster of the 7.3.1 was not very easy even if the examples are on the web and the WebKit / Firefox source code is available.
If Apple would support better the developers our life would be so much easier, for once we almost would prefer to be exclusively on windows:-(
In my company we have a very high level of piracy.
We can detect that serials are not valid and we do funny things when we detect this.
First we open a specific web page on our web site that is impossible to reach unless you use a pirated serial, nothing bad, but this allow us to see how many peoples use keygens, and we see there are a lot of them:-)
Also hackers do update the keygens very often and then we have a second line of tests that triggers after some times when the software is launched. It's very funny because those illegal users contact our support saying "hey after 10 minutes this function does this and it's very wierd!". We just ask them where they baught their software so we can help them to track the problem and they never contact us back:-)
However we respect peoples that try to hack our software, we just play with them, we would never, never, do anything bad on their machines.
Robert Fripp is a very talented guitar player, he played a lot with Brian Eno and also with David Bowie during his Berlin period.
While he is technically a very good guitar player he is also somebody that did a lot of technological experimentation. He did invent the concept of frippertronic where you play a few notes of music and loop them in real time, you then continue to add new material to your loop at each new iteration. Because he was using analog tape to do this at first the oldest iteration where fading away while the new material was added on top.
If you are curious I recommend his abum "Soundscapes 2: Blessing of Tears"
Maybe because he is a friend of Brian Eno that already composed some sounds for Windows 95 this is how he was contacted by Microsoft.
Apple should do the same and I would find it more logical if Fripp would work for Apple while Microsoft could just hire Justin Timberlake for his music:-)
Ok seems I am the only one to see this usefull.
My application requiere shaders v2.0 and it's really boring to always type radeon radada in google to hunt for the specs to reply to questions from customers.
Also even if it will not tell you for sure that your engine will run faster on this one or this one it will at least give you a hint.
Having the OpenGL version supported from the driver would also have been nice.
A detail I can't explain about the license.

Ok they changed the license
But how can they do this on behalve of all peoples that did contribute to the project? If coder X did submit his code 2 years ago can they decide to change the license of the work that was submitted by coder X?
My provider in Belgium has a nice news server that is part of the standard package, just the retention is only a few days but it's ok to get the latest us shows here in Europe:-)
Too bad they removed the mp3 newsgroups 2 months ago, I wonder why:-) but all the tv shows and movies are still there.
The very small fee asked to subscribe to Newzbin is well worth the advantages. You can use Newzbin for free if you accept to open your newsreader to manually download the files you saw on Newzbin.
Really I am not affiliated to them but the interface is so cool with so many things you can tune to your preferences that it's really a nice help if you are a news hunter! They even have Watchdog that can send you a mail when a particular topic occur in the news!
Maybe binsearch was just slahdoted by beeing cited here but it was so slow when I checked it that it's unusable, in the same time I grabbed a few shows from Newzbin:-)
Most of those have trial version on their web site.
Max/MSP Jitter is a very powerfull environment but the learning curve is big.
Most of the VJ applications have a very simple interface to layer real-time video streams with video loops stored on your harddrive.
Some do support triggering the layers via MIDI, that can be handy if you are working with musicians or need to synchronize to external actions. There are ton's of MIDI device that can generate signals depending on movements, triggers, sound...
Depending on your machine, quality you need, numbers of video layers you want to play, you will need to compress the video in a codec that is well suited to those applications. Most of the time the QuickTime photo-jpeg is very nice regarding the quality and the load on the CPU.

Flash is not multi threaded so it will only slow down one core...

I am on eMusic and it has a lot of classical tracks.
The problem is their credit system, very often classical tracks can be very short and sometimes you need 20 or more credits to buy a CD.

Whoaaa, that's a cool idea! Of course at some point it will just disappear, anybody believe that youtube will still be there in 10 years ?
Amazing things can be done today with mathematics.

The difference is that for Daft Punk it's much more video technicians creating the vision of the Band.
For NIN the band is much more involved in the audio - visual synchronization.
I am from the company ArKaos that helped them to fix their show and made the interaction more easy.
Never drive on your computer :-)
And more than that with Vuescan you can output pdf files in one go. Very useful if you want to scan a magazine.
More than that if you run into trouble you can mail them and they do reply and try to solve your problems. Highly recommended.

From www.ijg.org. This library is very popular.
And if yes, are all application linking this library subject to the vulnerability?
If yes this will be a lot of work to update all applications.
Sure, most of the software described in the survey I gave will do this
Under the VJ Bonnet ( Vid Software Round-Up)
Most of those have trial version on their web site.
Max/MSP Jitter is a very powerfull environment but the learning curve is big.
Most of the VJ applications have a very simple interface to layer real-time video streams with video loops stored on your harddrive.
Some do support triggering the layers via MIDI, that can be handy if you are working with musicians or need to synchronize to external actions. There are ton's of MIDI device that can generate signals depending on movements, triggers, sound...

You should be able to do what you want with various VJ soft.
This guy did a cool survey recently, it's not only mac but it's rather complete and clear:
