Mediacity
by eclecity

Mediacity is a free digital photo organizer,
a tool for creating slideshows you can put on a Web page
and a tool for authoring video-DVDs.
It's primarily for Linux users as there are
already many programs available for Windows.

It requires Java 5 to be installed.  If you don't have it or you need an update,

To run Mediacity, download the file below and put it somewhere convenient,
then go to your command-line prompt and type

java -jar mediacity.jar

Click here to download Mediacity

or to run it using Java Web Start without downloading it, go to a command-line prompt and type

javaws http://eclecity.net/mediacity.jnlp

Using Java Web Start ensures you always have the latest version
without having to download it manually.  If you've never tried JWS before, give it a go!

(Please note) This project has been overtaken by events and most of it will not be developed further.
For example, on Linux DigiKam does everything and more that Mediacity set out to do for managing photos.
However, the DVD module will be maintained.   The next update to Mediacty
will concentrate on DVD authoring and the photo organizer module will be dropped.

Some support for photos will be kept, with the possible addition of a DVD slideshow module.
Similarly, the capture module is likely to stay as its features are not easy to find in Linux software.
However, the entire project now has a low priority so the likelihood is that for the next year or so
it will stay much as it is now.
