Valent, just so you know ...Claude REALLY does professional video editing for a living. I've seen his work and can attest that he knows his stuff. Claude is a valuable resource on this list when it comes to audio/video editing. Whatever he uses, I would use. Then, if something went south, I'd know it was on my end, not the software. Like you, I can only hope and pray that A/V advances in a major fashion with Linux. :) FYI, Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
