Hi all
Further to my email earlier regarding video applications needing ffmpeg having 
to be removed from the UbuntuStudio disks, another application, stopmotion, has 
been found to need ffmpeg as well. Instead of having a video task with only one 
single application, a decision has been made to not include the video task on 
the UbuntuStudio DVD images. This is a compromise between having a useless 
video task, and still offering users a few useful apps to use. I am sorry there 
was no time to re-include applications such as openmovieeditor again, however 
this close to the release, this has been landed in my lap somewhat with only a 
short amount of time to resolve the issue.

So what if I want to get some video applications set up on a fresh UbuntuStudio 
install?
1. Install the system as normal, and simply do not choose any extra tasks. The 
desktop will be installed for you, and be available when you reboot.
2. Connect to the internet (Sorry, at this point there is no other way to get 
video apps, as explained above), and use your package manager of choice to 
install ubuntustudio-video. This will install all the video applications that 
were on the UbuntuStudio 9.04 disks.

On behalf of the UbuntuStudio developers, I would like to appologise for this 
lats minute change. As I've previously stated, this issue is somewhat out of 
our hands. I think I speak for the others when I say we will try to do the best 
we can to get video applications re-included on the DVD images for UbuntuStudio 
karmic, given we can find any that don't depend on ffmpeg, and are still 
useful, or if we can break up sed applications enough so that we can include 
those bits that don't require ffmpeg to function.
