The problem is that the guy that took the video used a
camcorder with
firewire output, he is not a Linux expert, he uses windows on his PC
which has very to easy tools to transfer the videos to the PC and make a
video file out of it.
On Linux, kino will do this just fine, with a nice GUI.
Or, on the command-line, dvgrab, lav2yuv, yuvdenoise, mpeg2enc, lav2wav
mp2enc, mplex.
I'm against proprietary formats too but
unfortunately there is no
pratical alternative yet (a format that can be easily viewed by anyone).
How about VCD compatible mpeg? That should be possible to view natively
on all platforms, right?
