are you using debian? the purple/green problem is know to appear only in debian powerpc libdv. I use slackintosh and this problem never appeared to me. try a newer libdv, or recompile it yourself, or try fedora or yellowdog linux ;) I think you'll have to write some code to make cinelerra works w/ ffmpeg dv. > I know when I asked this question before, the fact that libquicktime > has a plugin for ffmpeg was mentioned.

I'm in the middle of the weeks of my exams ;) bye, rafael diniz -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Eng. da Computação @ Unicamp Rádio Muda, radiolivre.org, TV Piolho, tvlivre.org, www.midiaindependente.org Chave PGP: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2FF86098 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
