[gentoo-user] OT - simple video editing software

[Michael Sullivan]

Can anyone suggest a simple, easy-to-use software package for light
editing of video files (cutting commercials out of MythTV recordings).
I tried to use avidemux, but it went into an infinite loop when I tried
to save the file after editing.  bugs.gentoo.org suggests to me that a
fix isn't coming.  I need an alternative...

you might take a look at kino, I think it ca do this sort of things. Or I seem 
to remember about a work in progress names "lives" I think that wanted to be 
some sort of an open source iMovie, but I did not follow the progress.

I must admit that I have given up on Linux video editing for the time and do 
that on Mac OS...  :(

try ttcut, it is a tool just for removing commercials, i use it in
combination with projectx for demuxing and mplex for muxing again,
because ttcut needs audio and video separate.

unfortunately ttcut is not in portage, but i have written an ebuild
and now ttcut is availabe with the sunrise overlay. [1]

LiVES (LiVES is a Video Editing System) is in portage and you can find
info at: http://lives.sourceforge.net

Enjoy!

Unless it has changed in the last little bit, kino does DV video only.

As do I ... I tried kino in the past but it's just not there yet.

Kino now uses ffmpeg to import other file formats. Of course, this means
you are decoding and re-encoding the video, with the subsequent loss in
quality.

I couldn't even get kinos GUI to come up.  However, I did get
avidemux-2.3.0 to compile and it works great.

You could try Cinelerra, its very powerful and has decent documentation. Its
a little unstable, and you'll have to use the CVS ebuild, but it seems
_very_ capable.
