01/02/2010 : Happy new year 2010
I received some questions about "how to make videoporama work on my linux distribution ?" and the answers where very similar ... Lot's of problem come from dependencies problems.
Videoporama depends of ffmpeg, sox which are often distributed in "limited version" (because of some legal restrictions in some countries). For example, to make it works correctly on ubuntu (and derivated) you'll need to install libavcodec-unstripped-5x, libavformat-unstripped-5x and libsox-fmt-all packages to add support of mpeg, wav, h264, ... on ffmpeg and sox.
I hope those infomations will help you if you have problems.
10/03/2009 : Thanks to Paolo Zilotti, he wrote an Italian user's guide for the version 0.7.6 of Videoporama. His user's guide is available here.
I also take this opportunity to inform you that the developpment version of Videoporama (svn version) can work on both POSIX and Win32 (Maybe win 64, I don't know ???) platforms. In my previous news, I told you that the minor adaptation to make it work on Win32 should be done fastly ... It was the case but only on the svn version. I don't have any experience to build an exe package of Videoporama, so I'll not build an exe package even if it's possible. If someone is interrested in build an exe package of Videoporama, I'll make it available on this site.
Actually, I'm not busy on Videoporama because I also work on EKD project (in which I've included Videoporama as new function -> Only in the svn version which will be the next 2.0 version).07/14/2009 : Release 0.7.6 of Videoporama. This version is usable on POSIX system. Almost on Win32 system but there is somemore correction to do (in few days).
07/10/2009 : How to add new luma transition ? For that, you just need to add luma images files (greyscale images) in the /luma directory located in the installation directory of videoporama (Usually in /usr/share/videoporama). The luma images are compatibles with those used by KDEnLive. Additional luma images are available here. Thanks to Nicolas who gave me the info.
05/24/2009 : Thanks to Chris Clayton, he gaves me some usefull patch. All those one were included in 0.7.5 version
05/20/2009 : Thanks to Redy Rodriguez, he makes the spanich translation of videoporama. This file is available in the source file of development version. To use it, you only need to copy the videoporama_es.qm file in the locale directory of videoporama.
04/20/2009 : Thanks to Lino Fantasia, he makes the italian translation of videoporama. This file is available in the source file of development version. To use it, you only need to copy the videoporama_it.qm file in the locale directory of videoporama.
03/09/2009 : The full sources of the development version are also available in one tra.gz archive. To test it, you have to uncompress the tar.gz file, go to the created folder and start videoporama with this command : $ videoporama -l
03/01/2009 : The full sources of the development version are now available on this site (See link below). The development version include already an interface to configure images in serie. This versionis also the first one which can run on Windows without code modification (With portable option activated only).
To make run Videoporama on windows, it's necessary to install following programs first :
- Python
- Qt and PyQt
- Python Image Library
- MJpegTools (Fichier mjpegtools-1.9.0-mingw-bin.tar.bz2 à extraire avec 7zip sous Windows)
- ffmpeg
- SoX
- MPlayer (Optionnal, for "preview" function)
All those programs are available on Windows platforms, free of charges and under free licence (Usually GPL V2 or LGPL)
