That would kind of miss the point of using pitivi or gstreamer... so yes, out of line :) There *are* many tools available out there to do various kinds of multimedia operations, the goal here is to unify everything through a common interface (GStreamer) and UI (PiTiVi). What if your picture are in a format mjpegtools doesn't understand ? Or that you want to encode to h264 ? Or that you want to scale using a specific scaler ? Or that you want to add a title at the beginnng ? A different soundtrack ? Correct the color balance ? etc... Sure, you could manage it (painfully) by using a truckload of different tools for which you'd have to learn the command set, figure out how to convert the various formats, all of that in CLI or scripts.... painful :) Edward > > Dave > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Pitivi-pitivi mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pitivi-pitivi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pitivi-pitivi mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pitivi-pitivi
