Re: [gentoo-user] editing MPEG2
Generally I find that I want to cut at a major transition - eg the adverts coming on. At a major transition there is usually an I-Frame. Maybe it is the german tv as for many movies i have recorded i have to cut on B- and P-Frames to avoid pictures from the adverts. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] editing MPEG2
is there a light-weight MPEG2 editor (preferable in portage)? I don't need anything fancy, just something to cut off a bit at the begin and the end of a file.And no, kino doesn't like MPEG2. If you don't care about the quality of the cutted scenes projectx, is what i reccommend. But projectx and many other editors are only capable of cutting on a I-Frame The video cut theory is explained at http://www.radonmaster.de/robernd/tMPEG.html unfortunatly it is in german If you want to cut frame accurate (cut on B- and P-Frames too) i think ttcut is the better choice, here you can enable encoding mode so it uses mencoder (and you don't have to read the immense man page for mencoder) to recode the video. Not the whole video is encoded, only a maximum of 14 pictures (i think 15 pictures is the standard GOP lenght for MPEG video) around the cut mark depending on where exactly you want to cut i don't know if kino or avidemux can handle this now, if anyone knows better please tell me! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I didn't realise until this thread that kino now supports ffmpeg compatible streams. I must try that. kino will do fancier transitions etc - avidemux is more for cutting the odd bit out and transcoding the result. if you are happy to may money then main actor does a reasonable job of editing/transitioning and transcoding. gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
