sorry if a bit off-topic, hope not too far off. starting in september, i have to teach video production in a literature class 12 (20 to 35 students around 18 years old).
obviously, an open-source production pipeline is best suited (thanks raffa & christian for arguments). the school seems ready to install everything necessary on a number of p4 (32bit) machines. up to now, all machines can boot windows from a central server, and i have seen there is a (not-working) ubuntu test installation too which they said could be improved or replaced by something reasonable. ubuntu studio looks promising but has no cinelerra in it, so some number of things must be additionally installed anyway. is there any other distro that you can recommend for the purpose? for example, i have good experience with suse 10.3 (kde 3.5, quite stable), however i had to install cin+codecs and lots of things from packman, but all that is fairly reproducible so i will probably go for that. so far, the school has no camera. they are ready to get some and asked me to tell them what i need. so, what do you think i should order? how many? and what model? please advise. thanks in advance... georg :-) -- dr. kurt georg hooss kurts film / schoepfung & wandel breite strasse 6-8, d-23552 luebeck fon +49-(0)451-3003-474 (fax -333) www.kurts-film.com _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
