Hi again, I have done the tests as suggested hence I had noted that Open Shot appears to be the best chance. I have also done some editing with the smaller files including standard def .avi files. Even though hardware speaking, I have enormous processor speed and vid card with plenty of RAM and on board RAM being about 6GB, it is difficult to edit exactly where I want. The playback video must catch up. I will consider looking at other codecs and possibly "dumming" down the quality a bit. By the way, these are my summer motorcycling videos of trips around Ontario. Just because of the movement - I am looking for the best possible definition. I noted the code that you provided and I will look at this and consider it.
Thankyou much Jonathan Steve Worokevich ________________________________ From: Jonathan Thomas <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, February 11, 2011 11:10:10 AM Subject: [Bug 716799] Re: Poor video playback with HD video Although previewing your HD videos in OpenShot might be very stuttery and jerky, it should still export smoothly and correctly. If I was you, I would do a couple of tests with your HD clips and a few small edits, and export to a HD format, and see how the final result looks. Also, I would recommend re-encoding the videos as other formats, just to see if you can't find a better performing codec. For example, this command will re-encode an entire folder of videos into MP4 format, which typically works very good in OpenShot: $ find '/home/USER/MyMovie/Videos' -iname "*.MTS" -exec ffmpeg -i {} -acodec ac3 -ab 128k -ac 2 -r 60 -vcodec mpeg4 -f mp4 -y -sameq {}_new.mp4 \; Good luck! -- You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716799 Title: Poor video playback with HD video Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Invalid Bug description: I have tried several video editors but Open Shot seems to be the best for Linux. However, the video playback with high def video is very poor. It will play back but it stumbles and breaks up the audio as well. I noted that the standard def vid (both high and standard def being GoPro cameras), works well but not the high def. This might not be a bug but more an upgrade if there is one? Steve.
