Linux Multimedia Hacks takes the best of Linux's multimedia tools and with step-by-step instructions shows even novice users how to do cool and useful things with images, audio, and video.

Basic or advanced, each hack stands on its own, so you can feel free to jump around to only the sections that interest you.
