@Piru

I really respect the hard work you have put into MorphOS. One quick question though, have you ever used the Amiga Video Toaster Flyer? I agree porting the code may be hard but it was and still is a great system for what it is. A classic way to edit and do video switching on AmigaOS. If you ever get a chance use one, you might be surprised how cool it is and it sold a ton of Amiga's in the USA and kept NewTek alive. Thanks for your perspective on this. Your a great programmer and your opinion, whether people like it or not has value.

I never said it matched today's solutions, it is what it is. The only way to do video switching and non-linear video editing on a Amiga unless you have a Draco. Draco is cool too but it does not do real-time effects and switching. If you price video switchers you will find they are quite costly.

You are in fact incorrect. I dropped no hint anywhere. DiscreetFX does not comment on rumors and speculation.

Actually you have commented on rumors you've wished to debunk quite a bit.  I'm confused why you would not just debunk this one if untrue as well?

Here is what I took as a hint:
http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5159&start=80#69171

You are the only one I see mentioning Amiga.org at that link.

I have been assigned the task of Site Admin so I will work hard to earn everyone's trust. I can understand how some can get jaded in this community. It's been  a long road to travel since Commodore's death in 1994. We have a great moderation team in place and Amiga.org has a great legacy that must be preserved for the Amiga community and it's offshoots. Please give us a chance to do the best we can and prove ourselves. There are also other great Amiga sites, and it takes a team of sites to rebuild this exciting community.

Yes, it does. The man owns the site, and with it, access to personal information. I'd like to know who has access to that, and because I don't, I kindly request to delete my account and all it's accompanied personal data. Please do so before the end of the week. I may re-register if I like the new owner.

goodbye and thanks for all the fish,
Jens


Hi Jens

Please stay, as the Site Admin I can assure you that everyone's personal information on  Amiga.org is secure. All members privacy is respected and kept safe. If you still want your account removed I will respect that request and do it at the end of the week.

@Schoenfeld

My father almost died and just had open heart surgery and I am out of town because of that. I have done little if anything on Amiga.org due to the serious unexpected heath complications my father had.

I sincerely hope he's doing better.  Best hopes for a speedy recovery.

Wayne


Thanx for the very kind words Wayne, it is most appreciated. He will be in the hospital for a long time so we take it day by day. He survived the difficult surgery and is slowly getting better.
