LiVES is a simple to use yet powerful video
effects, editing, conversion, and playback system
aimed at the digital video artist and VJ. It uses
commonly available tools (Mplayer, ImageMagick,
and GTK+), so it works on most Unix-like
systems. It runs under Linux, BSD, Mac OS
X/Darwin, IRIX, and openMosix. It is frame and sample accurate, can handle
almost all types of video, and is fully extendable
through plugins and the included plugin builder
tool. It can also be controlled remotely using OSC.
Changes: Encoder output format is now correct on first startup. PNG is now the default internal image format. Some audio conversion inaccuracies were fixed. All encoders have been updated to current versions of externals. Minor compilation updates were made for Mac OS X and others. Some very rare crash conditions were fixed. Initial translations to Arabic, Catalan, Estonian, Galician, and Uzbek are included. Other translations have been updated.
