Cinelerra 1.0 Released

Software 43983 Published 2002-08-13 06:43 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Saw over Slashdot that Heroine Virtual Ltd. has released a video editing system for Linux

"Cinelerra is not for consumer use. If ease of use, simplicity, and convenience are your thing, you should use Virtualdub, Kino, MJPEG tools or MainActor instead.

If you want to make movies, you want the compositing and editing that the big boys use, you want the efficiency of an embedded UNIX operating system combined with the power of a general purpose PC, or you just want to defy the establishment, the time has come to download Cinelerra."

PHP Accelerator 1.3.2

Software 43983 Published 2002-07-30 02:55 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Nick Lindridge has released PHP Accelerator 1.3.2:

"Every time a PHP script is accessed, the PHP engine must open the script file and read, parse, and compile the file contents into a compiled form. Only then can the compiled code be executed. With scripts often including other scripts, this work can become a significant part of the overall time to deliver a page. It can also impact I/O performance, and require much dynamic memory allocation that in itself can be time consuming.

The reality, however, is that most PHP scripts never change from one access to the next; indeed they may never change for weeks, months, or even years. The Accelerator works to eliminate the penalty of processing scripts that never change, and by caching the compiled scripts in shared memory, delivers significant performance gains as a result. Note that this is very different to caching script output. PHPA doesn't do this, scripts remain fully dynamic, and if they do change then PHPA caches a new version - they just run faster! "

WineX Game Installer 1.01

Software 43983 Published 2002-07-27 19:21 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Frank Hendriksen has released WineX Game Installer 1.01, a free graphical interface to installing Windows games in Transgaming WineX:

In order to run you need Transgaming WineX (the paid binary version).
WineX Game Installer doesn't work with the CVS version, but I'm working on a special 'CVS version'. The reason that it doesn't work is because the CVS has no Installshield 6 support and is installed differently.

I tested WineX Game Installer with WineX 2.0.

No additional libraries are needed, it should run on every Linux distribution and version.
