I've already loaded the broadcast 2k package and it will run on my box now.
There's a couple of problems with from the video editors pov, that could be
fixed, but its a good piece to start with.
Like aaron, I've been studying the last several weeks and right now I'm most
concerned with the hardware design.
I've put together a design of my own using dual cpu's but haven't the
foggiest idea if it will have the throughput needed in order to do the job.
If its all right with you guys, I can upload it to this thread and let
everyone take shots at it. It's not set in concrete or anything, its just a
starting place for discussion.
Let me know.

Hey, John (and all)!
As a 25 year Video / Media production veteran and a long time fan of
User Empowering computer systems myself, I've been working toward the
same "Lex" goals for about a year and a half. I'm also an intermediate
level programmer who has marketed a couple of my own 3rd party support
products for nonlinear editing and machine control, so I'm hoping
to additionally contribute to the efforts of creating Linux video
production tools that is going on here.
Wish I could say I've done substantial work exploring the Video / Media
tools that are already under development for Linux, but my involvement
up to now has been mostly a matter of studying and exploring the core
systems, languages and community. I'm finally arriving at a point where
I feel comfortable enough with all of the Linux ins and outs to start
pursuing the Video production goals.
Thanks for the excuse to introduce myself.

It also is my understanding that the heroinewarrior "Broadcast2000"
nonlinear editing software is now included as part of the SUSE 7.2 Linux
distribution (2.4.x kernel). This seems a good indication that BC2K is
mature enough to be stable, "user friendly" and productive now. (I'm
very anxious to try this package out as soon as my time and equipment
budgets allow.)
peace
(after justice)
