Looks great, nice project - thanks

Can it be installed via a USB key instead of burning a DVD?

[AlanHK]

Does it include, or can it support, Avisynth?

[freebird73717]

Any linux distro can support avisynth as long as you have wine installed. I don't think that Gmaq included wine in his distro but I could be wrong. It's not hard at all to install if he didn't include it.

Gmaq looks like you've been busy buddy. Good to see ya still around.

Hello,

AV Linux 3.0 comes with Wine 1.1.33 so it is ready to use with any supported Windows apps including Avisynth

Ummm unfortunately the 2.6.32 Kernel, Debian Live Scripts and Unetbootin (USB Key Utility) do not get along right now so AV Linux can be installed via LiveDVD only. Hopefully this will be fixed soon but Unetbootin images on USB keys will fail to boot even though the same image on the LiveDVD works fine!? I am actively working on this issue at the current time.

@Freebird, Nice to hear from you, hope all is well with you and yours!

Yes, I just tried it with LiLi and a 2GB key (and also with the Fedora liveusb-creator.exe which allows other ISOs) and with both it only booted as far as a "busybox" saying it couldn't find a live filesystem or something to boot from

But at least I've got the 1.7GB ISO file ready for when you crack the problem! Cheers

btw, nice to see OpenShot in there, but did you consider kdenlive too?

AV Linux 2.0r2 had Kdenlive, the sheer amount of extra libs and the implementation of KDE4 on top of LXDE was quite messy with fonts etc., they also don't utilize MLT in the same way so I had to pick one or the other, Openshot was natively GTK so it was an obvious choice. In general I think building applications on desktop environments is a pain, toolkits like gtk and qt4 are much more open ended to use with all Desktop Environments IMHO. I tried a KDE4 version of AV Linux in development and really didn't like it at all. It is a shame though, Kdenlive seems to be the front runner at this point in time but Openshot is on it's way up!

Thanks for that, interesting stuff.
Looking forward to a fix for the USB Key...

Cheers
