Dvswitch comes fairly close: http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ dvswitch takes raw DV as input and output. It is solely intended for live work, either capturing DV over firewire or relaying it over TCP/IP. Relaying requires a _fast_ network, mind you, and there is very little tolerance for congestion and packet loss. It has picture-in-picture, but not split-screen. I have proposed split-screen (or rather the general case: arbitrary shaped PiP) to the author, and he was not downright dismissive. :-) Beware, this software is still young, and the setup is partially command-line driven. The limited feature set makes it simpler to master, though. NUUG and Debconf have used dvswitch for a while. -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
