Multimedia For Linux
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "SOFTWARE" @ 09:00 PM
Two pieces of software have recently been released to aid Linux users enjoy a fuller multimedia experience.
"A while ago Heroine Virtual had a video editing program out called Broadcast 2000. Then something weird happened and the program was pulled from release with the homepage saying it was too dangerous legally to put out. Something about liability." Anyways, the successor to that program, called Cinelerra (most recent version 1.1.9) is now available and looks like it has a host of features giving our Linux friends a robust tool to use.
Also, after almost two years of development, the free cross-platform sound editor Audacity, has a new stable version for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Audacity 1.2 has introduced brand new features and major improvements including professional-quality dithering and resampling, and new pitch- and speed-changing effects.
