[LUNI] Hello

[Tyler Stoffel]

Hi, I am a new member to this list. My name is Tyler Stoffel, I am a
photojournalist based in Elk Grove Village. I have been using Mandriva 2006
for about a year. I made the switch from WinXP last year because I left my
job as a staff photog in NorCal and decided to go freelance. It was the GIMP
that convinced me to make the switch, along with a few other pograms. On a
daily basis, I was using OpenOffice, Audacity and the GIMP, as well as
firefox and Mozilla composer, on both my Mac at work, and my HP laptop. I
liked these apps better than Photoshop, Sonar, and MS Office, IE, etc. -- my
alternatives -- and decided to swap my whole OS (I have never been much of a
Windows user, professionally I have always used Macs, I just own an old HP
laptop that I still can't afford to upgrade, and leaving my staff postion
meant losing my work Mac, so I needed to find the best alternative to OSX,
and for me, last year, Mandriva 2006 was it).

I do have a question for the list, I am looking for a multimedia editing app
that will allow me to combine jpegs and mp3s into movies. If I were on a
Mac, I would use Final Cut. I have a version of Cinelerra, which I like,
except that it was developed for 64 bit machines, so on my 32 bit machine,
it is unreliable. I also have an older version of Kino which came on my
Mandriva distro, it claims it supports jpegs, but if I try to load a couple,
I get an unrecognized file type message. Any ideas?
