BeOS was an operating system for personal computers which began development by Be Inc. in 1991. It was first written to run on BeBox hardware. BeOS was optimized for digital media work and was written to take advantage of modern hardware facilities such as symmetric multiprocessing by utilizing modular I/O bandwidth, pervasive multithreading, preemptive multitasking and a custom 64-bit journaling file system known as BFS. The BeOS GUI was developed on the principles of clarity and a clean, uncluttered design. The API was written in C++ for ease of programming. It has POSIX compatibility and access to a command-line interface through Bash, although internally it is not a Unix-derived operating system.

BeOS was positioned as a multimedia platform which could be used by a substantial population of desktop users and a competitor to Mac OS and Microsoft Windows. However, it was ultimately unable to achieve a significant market share and proved commercially unviable for Be Inc. The company was acquired by Palm Inc. and today BeOS is mainly used and developed by a small population of enthusiasts.

Remember . BeOS. ? If you don't that's ok, it came out around 1995 and even though its performance was leaps and bounds above Mac OS System 8 and Windows 95, it never quite caught on, so it died off and seemingly disappeared. ...

If you guys know and somebody did it could you please share with me? cheers i m waiting.

A. You'll need an Intel based Mac and the Boot Camp beta from Apple to make this work.

Any video experts know of a VOB creator?
Q. I've got some home movies I want to transfer to DVD. I can get the movies into MPG2 without a problem, but the issue arises when I try and burn them to DVD. Nero tries to recode them, messes with the frame rate and introduces compression artifacts - this I don't want. So - does anyone know of a program (preferably free software or open source) that will convert an MPG2 file directly into VOB. I don't need subtitles or anything, just a straight MPG-to-VOB conversion, and it can run on any of Windows, Linux, OS/2 Warp 3 or BeOS as I run them all. I'm actually trying to be quite specific here. I don't need a program to rip off DVDs thank you, so please don't tell me about shareware DVD copiers. I have a custom DVD menu maker and I need… [cont.]

A. Look at DeVeDe (Linux). As far as artifacts, you have to run a filter on the captured movie before the DVD. The cause is video is an "upper" and "lower" field. Anti-aliasing will blend the two fields into one dot. a command-line video convertor called ffmpeg, excellent and has several gui front ends that basically have all the presets in lists. One example is kdenlive. And mencoder, similar transcoder software. Google mencoder on youtube. And, I'm only telling about the Linux stuff because you can try it free.
