The lion is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. Reaching 272 kg (600 lb), it is the second-largest cat after the tiger. They currently exist in the wild in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside man. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India and the Bering land bridge and in the Americas from Yukon to Peru. Lions live for approximately 10�14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A lion pride consists of related females and offspring and a small number of dominant males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, though will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.

A versatile stereo movie editor and stereo movie player

The Stereo Movie Maker application was designed to be a versatile stereo movie editor and stereo movie player

Features of "Stereo Movie Maker":

· Drag-and-drop movies onto the SMM window or shortcut.

· Left-Right Image swap
· Vertically-mirror the top, bottom or both movies and optionally save them.
· Horizontally-mirror the left, right or both movies (useful for some two-monitor viewing devices and movies taken with beamsplitters) and optionally save them.
· Perspective rotations around a horizontal and/or vertical axis to correct keystone distortion (sometimes unavoidable with macro movies).
· Resampling option after Easy Adjustment for better image quality.
· Use a household mirror to encourage the general public to enjoy stereo movies without freeviewing or anaglyph glasses
· Rotate left/right images from twin-camera rigs in any configuration.
· View in windowed or fullscreen mode on a single or dual monitors and use keyboard or mousewheel to zoom-in/out.
· Toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes by simply pressing Enter key.
· Create stereo-soundtrack from left/right MPEG movies.
· Save cropped movie
· Save resized movie
· Save movie in different stereo-format
· Save movie with different compression
· Save a selected stereo clipof the movie.
· Synchronise Left/right movies
· Do your own stereo blue screen compositing
· Auto-align to user-defined vertical or horizontal reference line.
· Correct rotation, image size or alignment errors.

The latest release of StereoMovie Maker supports fullscreen viewing on dual monitors or projectors.
You may choose the left or right device as SMMs primary.

The Help file is now available online (http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stvmkr/help/index.htm)for the benefit of those with a dialup Internet connection.

Many digital still-cameras have a movie-mode, usually 320x240 or 640x480 resolution, and some save the movies in QuickTime MOV format.

SMM can now play those movies with the aid of a helper programme (QTReader.vfp) that can be downloaded from http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4942/svcd.html.

When opening left/right movies, you can choose to mirror either one (useful for beamsplitter rigs).
Perspective rotation around a vertical and/or horizontal axis is provided to allow correction of such errors as keystone distortion (especially when toeing-in is unavoidable with macro shots).

After using Easy Adjustment, the movie-frames may be resampled for better quality and an automatic-crop option enabled. Anaglyph movies may be opened in a keep color mode to allow adjustments to be made before subsequent resaving. Video files may be dragged-and-dropped onto a SMM shortcut or the SMM window and are opened in side-by-side mode by default.

Instead of the default, a Preferences option allows a dialog-box to be displayed showing alternative display-modes that you can choose.

And Bug-fix of saving left/right videostreams for Adobe Premiere2.
