The difference between Kino and Cinelerra is like the difference between
Nano and Vim - ie the latter's a lot more powerful but a bitch to learn
:)

Hi Malcolm,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that out.

I'm going to have a more in-depth look at 
Cinelerra too; my limited experience with it has 
brought me to the conclusion that I really need to 
RTM more so than with Kino :)


Regards,

Patrick

You can convert existing video to dv format to fool around with in Kino.

ffmpeg -tvstd PAL -i /tmp/my_first_film.avi -target dv /tmp/my_first_film.dv

I'm not sure the tvstd option is needed, and there are lots more options you 
most likely will want to play around with.


Cheers,
Malcolm V.

Hi Matt,

Now THAT would be brilliant! I've not had the 
chance to do much in the way of contributing back 
to the LUG and that would be a great opportunity.

Patrick

I'm sure that our illustrious A/V team would be more than happy to ship you
a couple of SLUG talks to practice on.  Then you can get lots of practice
before you volunteer to be a part of the A/V team for LCA 2007.
