I think all the things you are doing for Aros is wonderful and I love this idea. But, even though I still love the idea of Aros it has been over a year sence the last time I tried it. Even though I still follow it. I feel there are some important things that need to be adressed, in one manor or an other. The partition limts being one, the fact that I have a 4 core PC and at best Aros can only use 25% of the what my PC can do. I love the fact that there are native apps being done for Aros, the 68k bounty is being worked on. All great. But I also feel that some very important things are being ignored.

As some of you are aware, I have paid for Quick Recorder (Audio sampler), which is free of charge, I also funded Quick CDRipper which is an experiment of shareware for Aros, although failing as an experiment.

Next one is Quick Videos which is being worked on now. This aims to offer basic video editing under Aros and is basically a GUI sitting on top of Mplayer/Mencoder which provide the grunt for the system.

It is not going to compete with Avid or Apple Video tools yet, but will be able to cut video clips, and arrange them and select resolution and format for output with audio. Also it will handle inserting or straight encoding of single frame animation files as well or mixed with normal video files.

This will start with good basic functionality and grow over time. I am funding the first stage again to get something running which I can use, but I have future plans and would like to setup a bounty for the stage two enhancements.

This money will go to Ian who is doing the work and I would like to raise around 3-500 euros if possible to fund the next stage of this work because I cannot afford to.

I hope you will see the fruits of the first version very soon and then add a donation to a pot.

So, please comment here if you would donate, or I will have to charge for this software to fund it and going by the response to the CDRipper it was not supported and development will stall. This source will be available, but the official version will be held by me to guide development.

These three applications are NATIVE Aros apps and development is cost friendly but not free. We hope to port to AOS4 and MorphOS as well.

Comments please.
