Addition(s) to the Video Meta package

[Ronan Jouchet]

Hi Eric, hi everybody,

My two cents about LiVES:
  - Though not officially in ubuntu, it is currently regularly packaged 
by the getdeb team (http://www.getdeb.net/app/LiVES). Does it mean it 
can be easily suggested via REVU?
  - Note also that it has been maturing quite nicely recently, and seems 
IMHO one of the most well-maintained apps mentioned here.

I added salsaman (LiVES author) to this discussion.

Cheers,
Ronan

> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=effectv
> * frei0r plugins: http://www.piksel.org/frei0r     packaged:
> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=frei0r-plugins  (more of a

> * GEM library for Pure Data http://gem.iem.at/     packaged:
> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gem
> * PDvjtools http://artefacte.org/pd/     not packaged (yet)
> * VeeJay http://www.veejayhq.net/    not packaged (yet)
> * Gephex http://www.gephex.org/      not packaged (yet)
> * Lives  http://lives.sourceforge.net/   not packaged (yet)
