[Bug 249751] Re: [needs-packaging] LVE - Linux Video Editor

[Tree MendUs]

I did not ignore the first sentence -  I emphasized the last
(concluding) paragraph.

The first sentence says ;

"
there doesn't seem to be any support / further development on LVE :-( 
"

this does not state that the project "Is dead", but merely speculates that it "seems" to not have any further support.
Also, the emoticon conveys how sad the person is that is making the speculation.

=====================

You are quite correct (and I agree) - there Is a lot of spam!
Time for a rinse out there.
Most of the recent topics have jibberish titles, and submitted by "nobody".
They contain multiple links to non-relevant (to say the least) sites.
Earlier spam postings used real words in their titles but soon changed to jibberish.
The most recent real postings that I found are at ;

This was responded to on the 2008-02-11 01:54 by Jurgen Lange , as per the reference from Fabrice,
and there has been no comment on that speculation since it was made, nor other "real" submissions to the forum.
I agree that it Is looking quiet, but I have not found any formal statement from the developer saying the project has been stopped.

I am now going to do a search for recent information - 
The developer is/was "Gerhard Monzel"

  Description:
  
  Linux Video Editor (lve)
  
  LVE provides frame and GOP accurate editing of MPEG1/2 files. Video
  scenes are handled as thumbnails movable by drag and drop. Final videos
  can be build with or without re-encoding. Tools for shrinking and DVD
  authoring are also available.
  
  Features ;
  - frame and GOP accurate editing of MPEG1/2 video files. different mpeg formats are supported.
  - lve can do hard cuts only, effecting transitions are not planned !
  - The lve-GUI
  - lve can load up to 128 different media-files with mixed formats like MPEG2,
    MPEG1 or different frame sizes (720x576, 352x288, ...) all together.
  - The scenes are displayed as thumbnails.
  - A realtime preview of the collected video in edit-list can be done at every
    time.
  - On a running preview, scenes which contains the displayed video will be selected
    automatically ("yellow cursor" will follow the video).
   - The scene collection of the media-list can be saved as a media-list file
    and can be reloaded on a other session. same is possible for edit-list as
    edit-list files (projects).
   - some further tools allows to build the final video from source material
    without re-encoding (and using the edit-list). if working with GOP accurate
    cuts the result won´t have any distortions on cut points, whereas with
    frame accurate cut scenes there may be artifacts during the transition.
  - DVD Authoring of processed videos will be explained in "DVD-Authoring.txt"
  - The actual status will be autosaved in background, if lve is idle for more
    than 3 seconds. So after a restart of lve you can continue with your work in
    just a few seconds.
  - sources are available for free (GPL license), but you should have some
    experiences with linux (and developing) to get lve to work.
  
  Min PC requirements ;
  500 MHz CPU with min. 128MB RAM, decoding with audio needs more speed !!!
    recommended up to 1 GHz CPU.

  Also, can backports be made for other currently supported versions of
