Video Editing

Oof. Well, I'm now able to do some minimal video editing under Red Hat 9. It's taken hours just to get everything set up. (Yes, Americans will go to great and expensive lengths just to avoid paying for something.) My very first and huge movie includes 6 1/3 seconds of Emma happy to be getting ready to dance.

This was created with the raw1394 module for capture from a Sony DCR-TRV460 NTSC camcorder, then using Kino for editing, and finally mjpegtools to export to .mpeg. A monster file (3.5 MB) for such a short movie.

Let me know if you manage to watch it.
