[gentoo-user] splitting videos?

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   My 14 year old asked if there is a simple app in portage that would
allow him to chop an existing video into a couple of pieces? I guess
he wants to upload something to You Tube but it's either too long or
too large.

   I expect it would be good if you could say 'chop this into 2 pieces
at 4 minutes in', etc.

Thanks!

Hi,

Probably kino might do - not sure what formats it will take as input.

He says mostly AVI and WMV. I'm building Kino now as the web page says
it supports AVI type 1 & 2, whatever that is. At least it's a start
while we look for something that can do WMV or maybe something to
convert WMV.

Thanks,
Mark

For converting WMV you can always use Mencoder, provided that you have the
binary codecs. If it is your case only type:

mencoder <name_of_input.wmv> -o <name_of_output.avi> -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc
-lavcopts vcodec=<your_codec_here>:vbitrate=<your_bitrate_here>

That's all!!
