Georgios
Diamantopoulos
was born and raised in Greece, Corinth in February, 1984. His
scientific incline towards computers was evident in his teenage
years and he pursued his dreams by moving to Birmingham, UK to study
Computer Systems Engineering in 2001. Early on in his course he
expressed further interest in video editing and compression.
Georgios graduated in July 2004 with an Honours degree from the
University of Birmingham, where he is currently researching in the
field of video compression towards a PhD degree. He has been
involved with various extracurricular activities such as writing
documentation for various video editing tasks and developing a video
quality assessment utility after the name of Video Quality Studio.

Movie Maker 2 users (the starter video editing software included in
every version of Windows XP). He co-authored Movie Maker 2 - Zero to
Hero, and wrote Movie Maker 2 - Do Amazing Things. Other writings
include a tutorial in MaximumPC and weekly newsletters.
Movie Maker 2 is a basic starter
application, and John encourages using other software that
complements it. Virtual Dub was a core item in his toolkit since the
beginning. His books and other writings routinely include it.
PapaJohn has a very active online presence, with over 10,000 posts
to newsgroups and forums in the past few years. His

VirtualDub is an open
source video capture and processing program. It might not have the
editing power of software like Adobe Premiere, but as a quick way to
process video it's hard to beat.
You can use VirtualDub
to trim and clean up video before exporting to tape or processing with
another program. With the right plugins, you can output your video in
various encoded formats—ready to be distributed on CD, DVD, or over the
internet.
VirtualDub is popular. At the time of
writing, visitors to Sourceforge are downloading it over 16,000 times a
day. |
