avidemux2 - get it from packman

http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=339

And where might one find the failed dependancies? Per the page at packman, the "additionally required packages *" list reads "none" -- of course, that little asterisk points to the phrase "that are available at PackMan" When I tried it here "out of the box" w/SuSE 9, I got: tom@bigbro:~/downloads> rpm -i --test avidemux-2.0.20-0.pm.1.i586.rpm warning: avidemux-2.0.20-0.pm.1.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID cd3140cd error: Failed dependencies: liba52.so.0 is needed by avidemux-2.0.20-0.pm.1 libmp3lame.so.0 is needed by avidemux-2.0.20-0.pm.1 libxvidcore.so.4 is needed by avidemux-2.0.20-0.pm.1 tom@bigbro:~/downloads> locate liba52 tom@bigbro:~/downloads> locate libmp3lame tom@bigbro:~/downloads> locate libxvidcore [and before you ask, yes, I tried finding these packages w/Yast's install software / search for / provides -- all three came up blank] And, before I go on a treasure hunt for these three, what packages will THEY require as well? I ask this because I tried to install something the other day based on a similar recommendation [go get such-and-such .rpm...] which required some three or four trips back to google/rpmfind to find an underlying .rpm requirement.[which required yet another, which required...] And the kicker, of course, is that when all was said and done it was primarilly a GNOME based application, so when I fired it up, it immediately died with "no theme found, did you forget to set a default?" I'm in a similar boat -- I want to do some video editing without having to switch to windows to run Adobe, but I'm coming up with dead-ends like this [and cinelerra being an "almost" app; Mainactor is crippled demo-ware, kino doesn't have the power I need, and so on... makes for a rather frustrating evening] -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net

Yes you should have looked at the packman site ;-)

Well, then, I have to take issue with the statement "additionally required packages: none" -- obviously, there are three packages needed. Furthermore, the "red herring" of the asterisk threw me in that it IMPLIED that any "failed dependancies" would NOT be found on packman's site [otherwise, they WOULD have been listed in the "additionally required" section -- vicious circle, I know, but...]

And you know where it is by now:

a52 lame xvid

I'm beginning to see why people like "apt" so much, however I'm leary of trying to install "one small thing" that essentially loads "all of the internet" because something "needed" it... -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net

MainActor comes on the suse CD's

Yes and no -- a DEMO of mainactor for linux comes on the CD's, and it does NOT do firewire imports -- for that you need to download the SECOND release of the demo from their website. Either way, when rendered, you get "MAINACTOR 5.1" emblazened accross the video [about 1/3 of the screen, but at least "transparent" so you can see what was going on...] I think it is a little cheesy for them to be doing this, because not only is it a "demo", but it is a BETA version [as stated on their website] -- if it were a RELEASED version, I'd have less of a beef [and no gripes if SuSE were up front about it being a demo "on the box"] -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
