Palm Movie Maker 1.4 is video software developed by Dmitriy Grinberg.
PalmOne, when releasing the Palm Zire 71 clearly said that it was not powerfull enough hardware-wise to record video, and of course this created quite an upstir in the Palm user community. Personally, this was the palm of my dreams, except for that problem, but I bought it anyways, becuse my old Sony N610C was dieing. So i got it, and waited for some talented programmer to write a program to record video on it. Waited a month, two months, three months... Still there was nothing, so I got tired of waiting, and got down to business. The first beta was simple. just 2 buttons: "record" and "play", and a non-working "delete". From then on any features added may be traced to use requests and suggestions, or to my "one-more-feature" syndrome. Later support for other handhelds was added. Well, enough of the history.
