Position Taken on MUI Version 4 for MorphOS
Under the title link you'll find that MUI's developer Stefan Stuntz has articulated his viewpoint of the situation between his user interface and the MorphOS operating system.
In this communication Ralph Schmidt's statement (amiga-news.de reported) is confirmed, that there was an offer to make the new and future versions of MUI available to Genesi at no charge and also to offer them in shareware form to users of AmigaOS 3.X and OS4.
Further, MUI V4 is nearly completed and there is nothing legally binding that prohibits uniform versions being released for all three of the cited operating systems.

MorphOS: Update of Python 2.4 Port to Version 0.4pre
MorphOS-Version 0.4pre of the scripting language Python 2.4 is available for download in the Pegasos forum.
Python is an object-oriented programming language that was developed by Guido van Rossum in the early 90s at the Center for Scientific Information Applications in Amsterdam. The text of a Python program, in all Python implementations to and including the current one, is transparently translated to a "between code" that may be completely executed by the interpreter.

amiga-news.de: Changes to Editorial Team
Two changes occurred this month in amiga-news.de's editorial team: Alfred Sturm left; he had tended the Amiga Link Directory from June 2000 until December 2004 by adding and deleting websites and putting up a screenshot of each. His responsibilities there have been taken over by Christoph Gutjahr. Don't forget to announce your new Amiga websites in the Amiga Link Directory. Gerhard "Gary7" Schmid ceased his activity as moderator of the "classified advertisements" forum. His successor is Martina Jacobs, who returns to amiga-news.de. She had managed the English language section for three years. We thank our two departing coworkers for their commitment in the last years and wish them for the future all prosperity!

Update of Hollywood Game TriMa'gic
The Hollywood game TriMa'gic has reached version 1.0 for 68k, WarpUp and MorphOS; the wishes of Tristan Mangold (TriMa) have been realized.
New developments are that sounds have been added, one can right-click to turn in the other direction as well, and because someone who preferred it asked for it, the game may be skinned to the darker original version. It comes with both skins. To do this some bugs with the ring-selection were overcome.
Along with the main page (under the title-link) there's a mirror.
The author thanks Tristan Mangold for his game skin, his idea and the suggestions for improvement and wishes everyone a happy celebration and a great New Year.

Non-Linear Video Editing System for MorphOS
The archive "MSchnitt-Mos.lha" contains four programs that together comprise a non-linear video editing system. It's written fully in ARexx and requires the following programs be installed:
- ARexx
- MPlayer (>1.0)
- Mencoder
- ogmtools-1.4.1-morphos (ogmmerge)
- mkvtoolnix-0.9.1-morphos (mkvmerge)
- fxPAINT (2.0+)
Features:
- Video edit
- Add new sound
- Convert video formats
- Sound processing
- Sound edit
- Merging of video clips to create a larger
- Video titling
- FX-effects
- Merging of sound clips to create a larger
- Encoding of single frames
- Decoding of single frames
- Support of multitrack videos in Ogg Mediastream or Matroska Media-Vision
The following link points to a demo video illustrating features of the MSchnitt package: http://pegasossoft.de/Movie.avi (3 MB)
A side effect of MSchnitt is the manipulation of multitrack videos. These are videos with more than one video or audio track. Here's a demo clip: http://pegasossoft.de/Movie_kopergeschuetzt.mkv (3 MB).
These clips can only be played with the newest MPlayer version, because they make use of the Matroska format. Whoever has no knowledge of MPlayer will only see the copy-protected video, and not the other stuff.
Unfortunately I haven't written any instructions, because that too would be a bit much for me. But whoever seriously wants to use the package can send me an e-mail and I'll write back right away.

Within the game "Die kleine Gilde II" it's in the meantime possible to play MP3 files in the background. But the problem arises that this is apparently reserved to UAE, Amithlon and probably to AmigaOne and Pegasos systems (the latter ones haven't been tested yet). A real Amiga with 060 processor already seems to be to slow for this, there are lags and distortion while playing the MP3 files, the opening of windows may be slowed down.
