Some guests from SpectSoft will be giving a presentation on how they use
Linux in their video business.

Below is an excerpt from their web site < spectsoft.com >

SpectSoft, LLC, the brainchild of Jason and Ramona Howard (a mother and
son team), was founded in 1997 to specialize in Linux based software for
the film, video, and broadcast industries. The idea was to bring with
them both open software and unix design philosophies that allow their
customers never ending flexibility and freedom with their software.

They felt the unix philosophy of making a particular software tool do
"one thing, but one thing well" is the perfect match for high end film
and video production as having to worry about stability of a tool is
simply not an option. Also, in the high end film and video world, since
being on the cutting edge is expected, open software not only allows
bugs fixes and features additions to happen more quickly, but also
allows for configure-ability and integration on a scale that is just not
possible with software from a more conventional model.

Since it's inception, SpectSoft has worked on technical projects with
some of the industries biggest and brightest companies like Dreamworks
Animation (Glendale, CA) and Tippett Studio (Berkeley, CA) that have
furthered the state of the art in high definition videos use in the film
production work flow. Through it all, SpectSoft has been able to
maintain a relatively small footprint as well as the original design
values that make it so unique.
