Hi, I am thinking of buying my daughter a video camera, and I am looking for a little advice. Is there within Debian like tools for getting MPEG files off a camera, onto a linuc box and software to view them, or better still edit trhem?
The camera (a cheap one from Amaxon) appears to use MPEG-4, and I am sure I heard that this was to be a closed format with royalties charged for it's use. Is this then not a good way to go? I've just read what I've typed and it is quite obvious that I don't even know the right questions to ask! No doubt others have trod this path. Is there an appropriate site I should go to and read? I have googled but only seem to get references to MPEG-[1-3], or sites offering to sell cameras? Keith. -- _________________________________________ Keith O'Connell. Maidstone, Kent.
