Here's a starting point to mull over. I use Fedora Core5. I loaded it with CCRMA's bundled package: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ Then, I installed mencoder, mplayer, cinelerra, Audacity. This setup allows me to take photos, move them into a directory. I then bring up a terminal and type: $> mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf w=320:h=240:fps=1/7:type=jpg -ovc copy -audiofile whatever_audio_file.ogg -oac pcm -o test1.avi This produces the test1.avi video. I immediately type: $> mencoder test1.avi -o new5.mpg -ofps 25 -vf scale=320:240,harddup -of mpeg -mpegopts format=vcd -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=224 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc_buf_size=327:keyint=15:vrc_maxrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:vmax_b_frames=0 I now have the new5.mpg video. This loads into Cinelerra for editing, where effects, video clips, etc. can be integrated, and a final movie exported in a number of formats can be completed. It's fairly klutzy, but makes for fun projects. The audio file is easily created, using Audacity, where one can record into a microphone, add music samples, files, etc. Great for podcasting enthusiasts. Best of all, the above describes a community-based recording studio that costs zero dollars out-of-pocket, beyond a cheap microphone. Just go to your nearest university recycle store, and ask for a donated cheap desktop computer. When you're done playing with it, take it to your favorite local nonprofit, church, senior citizen center, whatever, and pat yourself on the back! :) Good comment, Stephen.
