Hi all, I want my grandson to know Linux first and if he HAS to then maybe he will learn lesser softwares later. So I have him excited about building a Linux box. But I need to know some details about what software/hardware tools I need to pursue for him to use the workstation like he wants to.
He has DragonballZ tapes (OK, OK, stop laughing, he's only 11) and we have a VCR to use. He wants to take scenes from the videos and combine them in his preferred order, and then set the whole mess to music.
How do I use the VCR to send the movies to the 'puter? I'm assuming there is some kind of video card that will let us connect the VCR and rip the video. Needs to be as cheap a solution as possible as he is cutting grass for the costs. Any ideas about what kind of video hardware I need? (using a donated Celeron 900 Mhz mainboard and probably have an 8Gb drive in the junk bin that I can start him off with)
What Linux software is out there that handles this kind of work? We'll be installing SuSE 8.2.
Thanks all for any advice.
I don't remember were I read it, but in that discussing there was an advice to buy a DVD-recorder, and capture the video-tapes with this. Than you can read the DVD and do the editing on the PC. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong
