Your childish rant is laughable ... http://ivtvdriver.org with a Hauppauge capture card, http://kinodv.org (for non-linear editing) and http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net (for DVD authoring) provide far more functionality and productive creativity than WMC. There are several others as well, but I don't use them and so can't comment One can edit and work with any media formats imaginable, and export to any other as desired. mov, flv, rm, mpg[24], iee1394, dv, avi, yuv, ntsc, pal, wsvqa, smk, sdp, sol, thp, truehd, rl2, rpl, nut, ogg, oma, mpc, mm, mvi, mulaw, eac3, and dozens of other media formats, most of which I'd bet you and your beloved WMC never even heard of before. Not only that, but the opensource software can arbitrarily crop, insert PIP, sample at any desired frequency, digitally enhance and far more. I've worked with them all (including WMC, Movie Maker, etc) and that's what makes your childish rant so laughable ... you don't even know what you're talking about when you criticize the freely-available Linux/Unix applications, many of which are available as precompiled packages within the various distributions, and all are available as free, open-source code that's simple to compile with the free GNU compiler. Of course your beloved M$ provides a free compiler for its open-source free of cost code? Every Unix/Lix distribution does. Go ahead and rant some more, it's pure pleasure watching you make an ignorant fool of yourself.

We need suckers like Bad Boy drinking the Kool Aid to fund our retirement plans. :-) Regards Gordon -- ox·y·mo·ron n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra or ox·y·mo·rons A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in Microsoft Security, Microsoft Help and Microsoft Works.

So buy a video capture card download and install several other apps and I'm all set!! Cool.... Oh and I almost forgot this all comes AFTER I get Linux running and have already REPLACED all the other Windows apps that have worked fine for decades..yeah..I see it all now..so straightforward, easy and such a happy time it will be. Just replace everything in order to gain what..? Identical (or so you say) Linux functionality. Gee Dr Linux that just puts me right where I was before..doing my day-to-day computing . Where's the pay-off...don't cry about Bill Gates and fighting the good fight against his tyrannical kingdom. He is my hero. You are my buffoon

There isn't anything remotely >comparable in function, look and feel. Actually there is: a freebie called MythTV. Some people use it with no problems. Having said that, I devoted at least 3 months of my life to trying to make it work reliably and, in the end, went over to a Windows-based product called SageTV - which worked right out of the box and as continued to work ever since. -- PeteCresswell |
