  • Open Source/Free Software Video Editing Software?

    Can someone help me out here? I’d like to import video from my camera (firewire) as either DV or run through my favorite codec, and write it to disk. I would then like to be able to crop, cut, and paste certain frames from the whole movie and store them as “clips” or some similar…

  • Tao 2.0 in the wild

    Congrats to David, Vlad, Randy and the rest of the Tao folks! David has recently contributed a number of patches that provide an autotools build environment for Tao. Not only that, but it now builds on mingw (or so rumor has it). This greatly increases the Tao library’s accessibility, and I predict that it will…

  • I’m at OSCON

    I’m making videos. https://colliertech.com/oscon2006/ I need to learn how to compress some of these iMovies snippets into something consumable by the general public via “podcasting” software. Who knows what formats *everybody* can watch / listen to on *all* platforms? What does VLC support? I’ll target VLC as the media player and I plan to set…

  • Quake mdl loader bits and a (more) managed gtkglarea-sharp

    So… Now that I’m unemployed, I’ve got a few minutes to work on some mono stuff. I’ve committed a quake .mdl file loader to the GtkGLAreaSharp examples directory. I’ve got plans to display the model using the framework, but that’s not quite finished yet. On #mono today, someone asked for an interesting feature. They think…

  • Shaking things up

    It’s been a hectic week, and it’s only Tuesday. My wife and I recently made a decision to move on from MySQL. My passion is software development, and my experience doesn’t lend itself well to database development. Therefore, I’m returning to Amazon on Monday, if my intel is correct. Through a strange series of coincidences,…

  • New release of DBD::mysql (v3.0004)

    Patrick released a new version of the perl MySQL connector. This .pm was my introduction to the mysql world, way back in the day. If you can program your way out of a perl brown paper bag and you haven’t used this tool yet, I recommend you write a hello world program to get familiar…
