[ydl-gen] video editor

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Rev:
How are ya?  It's been a while... I hope things have gone well.

Regarding your current query, it is not within my expertise or any area  
with which I have passing familiarity.  I did a search on Google and  
came up with over 40+ million hits.  You will have to sort them out and  
discover which one addresses your needs.  Here's the link to that  
search:

http://www.google.com/search?q=video+editor%2C+Linux&start=0&ie=utf 
-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

The details to consider are:

1.  Check documentation on the website to discover whether there is any  
indication that the source is restricted to be compiled and run only on  
Intel systems.

Discussion:  Unfortunately, many open source projects leave it to  
others to develop binaries which the PPC can use.  Some other projects  
provide open source software but don't clarify that the source code is  
searching for specific components which only Intel systems contain.    
Either way, this is not discovered usually until you attempt to compile  
that software and then you find out as a result of the program failing  
to compile.  Or sometimes the program compiles fine but the dependency  
or dependencies it needs requires compilation on an Intel or Intel  
compatible  -- meaning you can't run it anyway.  The other way to  
determine whether source code can run within YDL or other PPC based  
Linux is, just as time consuming.   You have to be able to read the C  
or C++ source code yourself and determine directly via line by line  
inspection of the source whether any access or library requires Intel  
or Intel compatible technology at all.

2.  Occasionally, the only hint that the software only runs on Linux  
for x86 (Intel and Intel compatible) systems is that only binaries for  
Intel are provided.  Sometimes the discussion of the software (on that  
project's website) presents the unspecified assumption that there is no  
need for presenting or providing any other binaries.

3.  It may be the case that of the 40+ million hits for video editors,  
the majority of them may indeed be open source but very few -- if any  
-- will be software written so that the software  and it's dependencies  
can be compiled and executed on a PowerPC system.

I hope these realities to consider doesn't disappoint your interests or  
desires.

Best wishes.... Derick.
