David Farning gave me an account on video.sugarlabs.org and I've posted my videos there, both raw and edited.
I was looking at Kino this morning, at the DV files it creates and the mencoder script it uses to encode them and I think I have some insight into why the text in my edited videos is distorted. My original OGV file is at 800 x 600. Kino converts this file to a DV at 720x480, and in that DV the text is not distorted. It is in the mencoder script that it converts the video to 640x480. I should be able to modify that script so it doesn't resize the video again and perhaps this will give me the quality I'm looking for. I also tried to compile Cinelerra on Fedora 11. It depends on every patent encumbered thing in the world, so I'll either have to compile all those things by hand or find a repository for Fedora 11 that has them. The Cinelerra website has instructions for installing for Fedora 9 and below only. When I was a kid I made student films on Super 8. I would have killed for the editing tools we have now. Also for actors that show up when they're supposed to. James Simmons _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
