I've never been big into the video editing side of the Amiga (I luvs the sound though:afro: ) but what I'm gettingfrom this bounty is recreating what the fist toaster did, open the doors to a cheap but powerful editing system that WORKS!
 
Yeah, I know things have become cheaper and you can get a video capture card for a few $$$, but none of that stuff is really quality.  If this works out and is held to the same standards as the original VT, then I think we will see something rather cool that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
 
Also, think about what this bounty is doing.  Noone has really done anything with the Open VT code.  This incentive will hopefully change that!
 
PS-  From what I understand, this will also take more direct advantage of which ever system it is created for, instaed of being some genaric POS (Piece of Software).

Ok, lemme clarify. When I was talking about the cheap video capture cards and the like, I wasn't compairing them to the VT in price, Iwas talking about how, once upon a time, the VT was the "Cheap Video Capture Card" compaired the the SG boxes of the day. The only difference was that the VT put out good stuff :)
 
What I wasn't trying to say is that a new VT would be a cheap but quality replacement to the $100 and lower video grabers on the market today. Even if the software stays open source, the Hardware for it needs to be bought.
 
Hope that clears things up:)

Seriously, as my mum would say, "If you'd only put half of the energy fighting me into the chore, you'd be done by now!" Then I'd get spanked... :(
 
And here is another curve ball...
 
How can I help? I'm not a programmer and only installed VTs in the past but instead of trying to knee-cap this project, I'd like to help in any way possible.
 
I have Amiga Forever running opn my laptop I'm deploying with (Cool A4000T didn't fit in my footlocker :( ) and that is it, but if I can be of any use, just let me know...
