free software does not yet offer very advanced video-editing tools. there is something called MainActor, which used to be for windows only but has been ported to linux recently. a beta version came bundled with SuSE 9.0 professional. i know absolutely nothing about movie editing, so i can't comment on its merits or the lack of them; get a copy of Suse and try it out. if you have properly configured hardware, video-capturing can be done with mplayer (has on-the-fly compression i believe) or xawtv (uncompresed avi). - t. -- cogito, ergo es. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
