Yes you are right....

I'm trying to understand the licensing here (maybe Roderick can clarify).
For the home/student, it indicates it is up to 5 licenses. Does this mean that if I purchase the Home / Student version, I can install (and use concurrently) it on up to 5 different computers (which would bring down the licensing cost significantly - $149 / 5 = $29.80 per computer), or would I have to purchase 1 home / student license for each computer, and I can only purchase a maximum of 5 of those licenses before I am considered a "business"?
The same question could be considered for the business edition of eCS.
In the past my understanding is that I'd need to purchase 1 license for each computer I had OS/2 installed on (with the exception that you could previously have eCS installed on both a laptop and desktop under the same license), and I have generally made sure I had a valid eCS or OS/2 license for each machine I run the system on (at my house I've got my desktop and laptop with eCS 1.2MR, and 2 machines running as servers - one with Warp 4 and the other with Warp 3).
Similarly, if I'm purchasing the Upgrade from Warp 4 version, do I just need 1 copy of Warp 4 and then I'm able to install it on up to 5 machines, or would I need 5 copies of Warp 4?
I'm also looking at this from the standpoint of a few organizations I work with, where I have some OS/2 installs up and running server apps. If / when the hardware I'm running stuff on gets upgraded, I'll likely end up upgrading to eCS 2.0. It'll make a difference if I'm purchasing 1 license and then legally allowed to install it on more then 1 computer (up to the license max of course) or if I'll have to purchase multiple licenses.
I've got OS/2 running on a 750 GB drive, I don't recall what I did to get it running though.
It is true that the *install /boot partition* can't be huge though - the boot partition that machine is running on is only 1 GB. I wouldn't recommend a boot partition over 1 GB anyways - you don't need anywhere near even a gig for OS/2.
CE2MP3 with GUI will be neat thing.About video output format, for sure many people will have many wants, I think that it is best for default format to use avi: DivX or msmpeg, as those old formats are supported by any device (home DVD players).
"note: Using rexx instead of qt4."
Yes, I've understand that, thats I wrote native app. GUI that will use ffmpeg and/or mencoder is in my hummble opinion better choice, as such solution will cover menu more formats and codecs that AviDemux right now support. And as is for sure more easy to manage fresh updates of ffmpeg and mencoder than fresh ports of AviDemux, it will give more new formats and codecs in future.
On the other side, what will be possible to do with this GUI frontend I'm not sure, except simple cut/paste video those tools allows resizing, resampling, put titles in video, put pictures in video, combine video and audio, and many more.
I'm for now only concerned about speed and sensitivity of slider because REXX. When You move slider around, how fast video window can update. And it is possible to play video with variable speed inside this window ?
And how You show content of video inside this window, using mplayer ? Or this is just static image which is extracted by ffmpeg ?
) and this video part could be part of a single GUI
I tried ffmpeg as suggested, the part of all images that is fixed look great throughout the sequence, while the rotating part get blurry and ehwww.... I don't want it to compress the images as it ruin the quality images I've already struggled with to look so great.
What else can I try? Some settings that can help me in MainActor, ffmpeg, mencoder?
What options You used with FFmpeg ? Is it maybe low bitrate made to much compress of images and this result in blurry ?
Did You set key frames ?
