Oh, and I quite happily edit videos with Linux - I bought a Firewire
card, 99p on eBay, plug in my camera & copy the video off it. I also
have a GoPro, which I just copy the MP4 files from. I have a choice
of editors. It all "just worked".

Once it's in there, it does "just work". The problem I have is actually
getting the stuff onto the computer in the first place.


It just worked. Plugged camera in. Typed "dvgrab", away it went.

Conclude all you like. Linux is good for some jobs, and totally useless
for what I want to do.


I don't believe you. Or at least, I suspect you're bitching because your
Ford spares won't fit on your Rover car.


More because I keep getting told it's the best thing since sliced bread,
and I keep finding out it's not sliced, and isn't real bread anyway.
