Kalium should have linked this page in his initial answer, rather than just assuming that you would understand the distinction -- which does not really, as yet, have much currency beyond those who work in software development or system administration.

The gist of it is that there is a difference between free software and Free Software. The first is "free" in the sense that "free beer" is free. The second is "Free" in the sense that "free speech" is free. In more concrete terms, if users of the software do not have access to the source code for the software, and do not have the right to modify that source code and change the software to fit their own needs, it's not Free, however little it costs to acquire.

Ah, I see. Well, then the software is free, not Free. I was just listing it for us Windows users, Linux, as stated before, seems to have the best software for DVD/VCD Authoring. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's not that I was assuming they would know, I was just assuming they would read the entire thread.

transcode has moved to a new location:

If a forum mod or administrator could update the list in the first post, I'd appreciate it.

free vs Free

Postby Gokai » Thu Mar 17, 2005 12:53 am

Correct me if I'm not wrong.
The definition of "free" is that you can get the program without paying.
The definition of "Free" is that it is opensource(meaning that anyone is "free" to recode the program).
Can we just refer "Free" as "opensource" and leave the regular "free" alone?
This will cause less confusion.

Don't let RMS hear about that, or you'll get one helluva earful. Trust me on that. Anyway, read this.

Holy crap, an update, and I'm not talking about licensing issues!

I've recently been playing with FreeJ, a realtime video processing system, similar to EffecTV but better (in my opinion). The screenshots and website suffice to elaborate on its purpose and capabilities better than I could.

Hey guys, I would just like to say thank you for starting this forum, it has so far proved non useful for me but i doubt that will continue for very long. My only question is if there is a movie maker program for macs thats free and i mean really free, if anyone knows what it is and how i can get hold of it. again i say thank you for the feed back.

I've been working with OpenVIP a little, and while it seems all right, it seems to be lacking some features. most noticibly the ability to preview. There's a preview window you can pop up, there's no way I can see to play through it. Also, when rendering, it says you can render just the selection, but I can't figure out how to select.

Am I missing something, or is the program just not capable of this. I've looked at a few more but most here seem to be linux based.
AMVs that I have made:
Berserk - The Fight Must Go On - Drama, Action, Violent, Story
Teenage Cowboy Bebop Turtles(TCBT) - Fun, Trailer, Parody
