Any SGI fans?

Nothing that good.
Right now, I have been focusing on decrypting, and resizing/re-encoding software.
Since I used to edit 16mm film, I would like to get some decent software for editing HD video (other than the cheap stuff I have on hand), but I am not sure when I would get a chance to use it.

Any recommendations?
You have a lot more experience with digital video editing than I do.

On SGI (Irix) or Linux Flame works great but has a learning curve. On Windows the following software solution works good.

On Windows the following hardware/software solution works good.

Several versions of the TriCaster are available, the more you spend the better they get.

On OS X this works great.

Looks like there is alot of systems on ebay. What kind of 3d/graphics and creative apps are there for these machines? Is the software all kind of free or open sourced now?

They had video toaster for  these systems?

Lightwave 3D was available as was Xaos Tools. No Video Toaster for SGI but it did have Flame, Flint, Smoke Etc. Many other GFX/Video packages were on SGI, too many to mention.
