Archos forum / Video Editor?

« on: June 03, 2005, 11:21:56 am »

I asked about a video editor for the Zaurus a couple months ago, and the general verdict seemed to be that it didn't have the power.  Will the new Archos be any different?  As I said before, I'm not looking to do any encoding, just simple edits that can be exported as an edit decision list.

Software / Video Editor For Zaurus?

lives? kdelive?
I found a list googling "v4l editing"

look for old stuff, too--it will require less horsepower

Yeah, I saw those, but I think they're probably too much to run on the Z.  I guess what I'd really want is a stripped-down version of Kino.  I don't suppose anyone could actually try to run the program, and see if it worked?

So, in my searching for a program, what specs should I look for that could run on the Zaurus?

EDIT: Ok, I found this program called Kino (not the media player). http://kino.schirmacher.de/

It has all the features I want, unfortunately it seems to require a relatively powerful graphics card.  Requirements: http://kino.schirmacher.de/article/static/3

The hardware accelleration feature uses graphics card hardware for certain computational-intensive tasks (such as converting YUV format to RGB). It works only for certain modern graphics cards and XFree86 4.x. I am using a Matrox G200 and XFree86 4.0.1 with good success.

Would there be some way around this?  As I said, I just want to be able to cut and export an EDL, not render any effects.

movieguy, if you have a c700-c860 machine get www.pdxarom.org RC9.. look around the forum. full linux. should be able to compile and just work away! Let us know how you get on...

I actually don't have any kind of Zaurus yet.  I wanted to know if what I wanted was possible before I got one.  So I'm looking for RC9, which is full version of Linux for Zaurus?

lardman,

That's sort of what I was looking for, but it seems that you can only use it on video recorded on the phone's camera.  Glad to know someone is working on such a program, though.

You can do it from pocket workstation probably, though you might have to compile the apps for arm. I think, though, that it would be painfully slow....

Pocket workstation?  I did a quick Google and found something called Debian.  Do you mean this would be able to run already existing Linux video editors?  (Like LiVE?)

I know performance would be an issue, but I was thinking the video would be compressed to a low enough quality to run smoothly.  When finished editing, the program would export an EDL (edit decision list) which would then be imported into Final Cut Pro to edit the full resolution footage.

I've been wanting a handheld movie editor for some time now, and the Zaurus platform seems like the only PDA that could support such an application.  I'm not talking about something as fully featured as Final Cut Pro, or even iMovie.  I just want to be able to cut and paste from different clips into one.  Is this even close to being possible with the Zaurus?
