I'll look into that one, thanks. I understand it is supposed to be quite
a professional application?

Thanks,

Transcode can use ffmpeg. When I use ffmpeg to convert my video stream
to dvvideo, kino still messes it up. Maybe a bug in kino...?

I'd recommend ffmpeg. It converts between gazillions of video formats,
including MPEG, QuickTime, AVI, and my personal favorite, PNGs with a
naming convention. (like movie0.png, movie1.png, ..., movie99.png).

Editing video

2004-08-26 Thread David Fokkema
Hi group,

My father has recorded some video on his camera and he wants to edit
this on his computer. The camera doesn't have digital video output or
something like that and his box doesn't have a capturing device. But, he
has a dvd recorder and has recorded the video on dvd. Now, what can he
do with the VOB files? With dvdrip and transcode you can make an mpeg
stream, but how to edit this? Linux Video Studio can only handle
capture devices it seems, and glav is not really what he is looking for.
It works, but that is all. Kino seems nice, and can load digital video
files from disk, but I tried to transcode a small piece of a dvd movie
to digital video using transcode with the ffmpeg (dvvideo), dv and dvraw
modules and kino messes up the video and audio. It loads and plays it,
but not correctly.

Does anyone know of good software (with scene detection) to edit regular
vob or mpeg streams? Or does anyone know how to transcode to video that
kino reads correctly?

Thanks,

David
