As I've released Helios I've got some time on Blender
After successfully rebuild it using the SDK 2.1, I've found the pb.
I'm working on the fix, but after 3 o'clock am, my eyes have closed automatically...

I'll try again this evening and I hope to give you something in the same time. It will be better to edit video with a GUI.

sweet:) thx a lot!

I've found all pb of Blender with the sequencer panel (video editing).
- first most of crashes were due to a bad usage of the timer.device (fixed). (That doesn't say all crashes are removed )
- then Blender code itself doesn't handle well gfx card where pixels buffers are npot sized (npot = non-power-of-two). I've entered a bug report on the official blender 2.5 bug tracker. I've talked about it to a blender coders... now waiting for the official response.
Until that I need to temporary fix the code myself.

First the firewire stack you created that nobody said could be done, now a nice GUI video editing system for Morphos! If you could get the Blender editor working that would be really cool.

I've made an interesting video with my HV30 dvcam and helios to shoot a Blender video editing session. The final footage has been also edited on MorphOS... (everything on MorphOS).

Note: for saving animation, currently only AVI raw, AVI JPEG and MPEG video formats work. Not H.264, Xvid and OggTheora (something wrong with FFMPEG).

Are you Fab's secret twin brother? You rock!

Oh shit, this is amazing stuff! Where are MorphOS limits, where?!

(hint: it's all in the coder's ability)

@Yomgui

Nice work, we will have to give this a try.

Sorry, duplicate post, blame IE.
