= Linux Video Dynamic Objects =

During the last couple of years we have been observing a blooming development in the field of
realtime video software for GNU. An increasing number of artists and other users are exploring the
possibilities of several unique software packages for video editing, mixing and effect processing.
The question arises here how we (the developers) balance the growing number of features against
complexity, (re)usability and manageability of larger scale software design.

As users, we choose our applications because their features fit our purposes, as developers we serve
the needs of users who want an increasing number of features added to our applications while we should focus on flexible core engines and program frameworks.

An elegant solution to this problem is to provide the Free Software community with a flexible
architecture that allows a shared pool of video plugins.

Note that the livido_property_t structure in the livido.h file
is wrong and should be removed. The only defined type is the
opaque datatype livido_port_t.
