but this idea would be a little less crazy if the thing actually had a built in camera....

Coming from the person who's been championing the idea of Ubuntu on Pandora, and today started a thread listing all the non-gaming apps that we might like. Quick to pooh-pooh on someone else's party, aren't we?
To be honest, I don't know of too many video editing devices with built in cameras. That includes my desktop computer.
Yeah - but your desktop computer / video editor is a bit faster than 600 Mhz - (or even 900 Mhz) - isn't it? With a couple dozen (or more) Gigabytes of storage... Maybe a half a gig or RAM, or better, yes? And, um, it doesn't run off of a battery, right? So long render times can be done without risk of a mid-term shutdown.Gruso said:Coming from the person who's been championing the idea of Ubuntu on Pandora, and today started a thread listing all the non-gaming apps that we might like.

Well, you still face the RAM problem since you need to load data into the RAM to crop it as you will want to know what you are doing. Also you might want to undelete stuff that you fooked up and that also takes a load of memory. Correct me if I am wrong please.Rick said:I think the idea with the most merit here has got to be Geuben's suggestion of a simple timeline cropper. There wouldn't really be any number crunching involved, since you're mainly talking about deleting unwanted data, and then updating the file index/headers, and you're not re-encoding, so you can do a direct stream copy. You wouldn't really need a GUI for that because it's so simple, so you could have the video full screen, solving the size issue.
At a guess, stick for skipping through it, one button to mark start, one to mark end, another to save?
Just ideas, just ideas...
There are a lot of people whose profile pic in some way mocks/pays homage to Craigix's profile pic. So I decided to make my own homage to the GP32X Certifiedxnopasaranx said:@chad78: What's with the profile picture?
No, that's obviously your job.Insanemal said:Complain about somethig i dont understand.
I understand video editing. I'm no expert, but I know it's hardware intensive.

Brag about my E-Peen Hardware.
How many times have I given the specs on my MacBook, since you've been following my posts so carefully?
My point was not to brag about my hardware. It was to point out that it is vastly different from the Pandora. It's a consumer model laptop. It's not even the top of the line MacBook, much less a MacBook Pro - or any other professional level laptop. But the specs are far better than the Pandora. My point was to show how much power it does take to do video editing. Not that it takes more than your average recently made computer - but it does take more than a handheld device can offer.
That and to directly reply to the comment that was made that Gruso doesn't know of too many video editing devices that have a camera. All MacBooks, (and MBP, and iMacs) come with both a built-in camera, and a powerful video editor (iMovie). The MacBooks and MBPs are portable, so they make a more direct comparison to the Pandora (in this regard) than an iMac. The Eee PC, which most models have a web cam, is more powerful than the Pandora. Does it have video editing software? (I'm not assuming, or wiki searching - I'm asking because I don't actually know.)
