there's hope. I took some .jpg Gimp images, created a .gif animation,
used ImageMagick to convert to mpg, used mplex to merge audio and
video, then convert to mov,
supa..how did you manage to do last line? i mean "convert to mov"
afaic it's easier try to upload mpg or avi, in cin cause it's a bit
complicate to get a proper format mov using gnu-linux tools.....

and it plays in MPlayer. However, I need
to format mov file to view in Cinelerra. To do that, I need to run
qtinfo . . . . but, alas, qtinfo reports:
qtinfo movie1.mov
quicktime_open: error in header
Couldn't open movie1.mov as a QuickTime file.
So, I must discover how to control headers (whatever those are). Or,
is it possible to load other formats into cinelerra? If so, what
utility would give me the info to format cinelerra properly before
loading?

Vale: You're exactly right. I might have a file renamed to .mov, but
that doesn't mean it is formatted correctly, as you point out. At the
moment, I am on a learning curve that is focused on using commands like
$> mplayer -identify filename.avi and following the output lines to
clean up how my system is set up on FC4. If I'm successful, I will
then, hopefully, have a better way to approach my feeble attempts to
create a movie of images and audio file, and convert to proper formats
like .mov. My FC4 distribution sits on a low-end PIII desktop computer
with 512Mb RAM. The video card is reported as Intel810, and sound card
is reported as snd-Intel810. Even at its' best, such a setup will have
severe limitations.
Notice, though, it might provide a starting point for a lot of folks
that live in inner city neighborhoods, or belong to low income groups.
My computer is one donated by someone that has upgraded to a newer, more
powerful computer. The software is freely available from Stanford
University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ ). The Cinelerra
application is freely available. If it all works, even with severe
limitations, the owner of such a low cost system has the tools available
to create state-of-the-art audio and video works. We call such systems
community-based recording studios.
Hope that helps explain where I'm coming from. Now, back to my quest to
understand what vidix driver to use. :)
