Surprisingly, when compiling a windows binary with hollywood, it also works on Linux with 'Wine'. The last time, i checked that, it did't work. Maybe not everthing what hollywood provides works with wine, but only a certain subset of its functions? However, that's pretty nice :)

Thanks, Tom

It seems only the Metakeys like "L/R CONTROL/ALT/COMMAND" are not captured with the windows binary or wine (unfotunately, I currently don't have a windows system to test it :) ).

Yes, I doubt that the DirectShow stuff is working (mp3 playback). But it's not surprising that the main engine works because Hollywood is a pretty lowlevel program written in plain C without any bloatware dependencies like MFC or similar toolkits. It's really just plain old Windows API with only very few calls that require Win2K or higher. The rest is pure Windows 95 API... so not much newer than OS3.1 :)
