I downloaded the Binary version of this early this morning. Very Impressed. I had played with a Beta, this is much better. Just the nonlinear sound editing capabilities alone are unmached in Linux or GPL software -- let-alone the video. This version has support for any sound card supported by the kernel, the previos version Broadcast. This is a major leap in the Field of MultiMedia for Linux. As well as the buz in the SoundStudio mailing list. Personaly I had a fear this would not be GPL, as this was a major project, and it was not GPL in the BETAs. In fact the BETAs I saw had timebombs in them, they would expire.
Roger mentioned 4:1 compression, im assuming that is a lossless compression. Wouldnt it make sence to use MPEG2 or even the brand spanking new MPEG4... No I dont think D-Movies will go at that resolution...and speaking of MPEG2 and resolution, anyone know if there are plans to make DVD at HDTV resolutions? It seems like THE issue no one is talking about.
Clustering is very differant than what you describe. In most unix enviroments (or sometimes refered to as High Availability) it is failover. Where you have one App running on a server, and a backup server that chacks to see if the App server is running the App. If the Appserver dies then the backup starts the App and assumes the IP of the Appserver. This is just an oversimplified example. VMS uses a simular scheme that is more dynamic that enforces load sharing. Then Systems like seti@home is more of a distributed application for hi-calculation. This system does not do well in a database driven application. Clusters in general make many hosts into one host.

This post was very Onion-esc.... Though I have to admit it should not be in this section. Post it on the main page!!!!

Now that I know who she is I have even less respect for the Anonymous Coward...
Yep no pictures for now... but I suspect Rob is reading this, as the off topic post in ALL-CAPS just dissapeared :)
