I try to get too depressed looking at the news, but with 10 dead American soldiers over the weekend, I have to speak out. When will the madness stop? Are we really going to try to hand over Iraq in less than 3 months? Who really thinks the country WON’T end up in cival war as soon as we leave? It is all madness, based on lies, by an un-elected president. Another thing, you think one solid month of job growth will counter almost FOUR YEARS of losses. The jobs that were created were all low paying, service jobs. I’m sorry, a 7 dollar an hour job just can’t replace my 23 dollar an hour job.

Well, I got Avidemux and Cinerella to work, and they both do what I need. Avidemux is much easier to use, but I am not sure why my lame encoder does not work properly with it. Anyways, now I can happily edit movies in Linux. Cinerella looks really heavy duty, but it was easy to install. To install Avidemux, build it from the tar ball, the RPMS I found don’t work well.
Well, Kino works all well and good, but it looks like it was really desinged to work with raw video streams from camcorders and what not. Another case of RTFM. I did find Avidemux, which looks friendly and works with divx (mpeg4) and alot of other formats. I will give that a try tonight.

There are packages for it on the PLF (Penguin Liberation Front).
Still not done installing it yet. Had to install all the 1394 drivers, (uninstalled the mandrake ones first) then the libacv libraraies, then installed libglade, now it is making the file….
Wow, it actually launched…
I will let you know how it works out.
Internet Exploder
I noticed at work my Blog has the text all centered in the page, instead of left justified. It looks like it only happens in Internet Exploder, so I have no motivation to fix it. Sorry if it is a little hard to read in IE, try Mozilla, Netscape, or Opera instead. I can’t make my site compliant with every 5 year old browser.
