Maybe implementing a already done framework might eliminate some work, but 
tailoring it to our needs might take longer than writing our own.  However 
I'm thinking of making a primitive "plugin" technology making it possible to 
use other kinds of frameworks as a plugin. There the yuvdenoise programm has 
really cought my eye.

I've now found a great reason for my non-constant-framerate technique, you 
can even work with non-perfect material. In real live you don't get your 
constant 25 fps but sometimes no frames for several seconds (in case of bad 
scratches), sometimes more than 25 fps (if the tape runs to fast). In 
conventional systems you get serious sync problems.

To be honest I still don't have KDE3. Last time I've tried the files from my 
distributor didn't work, and I cannot retry will next week since I'm going to 
record a movie on monday and therefore need any space I can get.
