I believe I have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed. Are you able to play the MP3 files in the Ubuntu Movie Player? (I had the issue where it wouldn't import videos from my video camera, and then when I tried to play them in Movie Player it prompted to install the correct codecs). I haven't looked at the PiTiVi forums yet, I did post a bug response about the unhelpful message about not being able to find a specific codec rather than it prompting to install them but I was asked to suggest it as a feature. Guess it was just a bug to me (thinking about it, I guess it might be more of a feature request).

Re: [ubuntu-uk] video editing
ok heres what happened since my last email. I put both my files on my mp3 player to carry to work where i would mess around with it on Windoze Movie maker. Then at 6.18 in the morning i rose to find another email by a Robert McWilliam. I read what he wrote and seeing how it was almost time for me to get up anyway (Id been dreaming of joining files too). So i read his instructions. Carefully going through his instructions i found that the path i had put was not actually correct. So i corrected it. and then i copied and pasted both command lines into terminal. and behold there infront of me was the desired joined file. Just wana say a BIG thank you to all who took the time out in helping me in this!

Each program you want to run should either be at the start of the line or be indicated in some other way that it is a program[1]. After the program name in a command line will come any arguments that you want to give the program, these should be separated by spaces. The fact that spaces separate arguments is one of the problems you've got as there is a space in the path you want to use as an argument. In this case you have to tell the shell that this space is part of a single argument not separating two. The easiest way to do this is to put double quotes round the argument. What you have mentioned above is actually two commands, did you run it as two commands or as one? 1st command (including fix for the space): cd /media/sda5/Nuzhet shadi/mehndi edited/ This will change the working directory to the path specified. 2nd command: cat mehndil1.vob mehndi2.vob mehndi_joined.vob This calls cat on the first two files, and redirects the output to mehndi_joined.vob. cat conCATenates multiple files together and outputs the results to the standard output. The symbol redirects the standard output from the preceding command to somewhere else, in this case the file specified. still resulted in nothing! :( I'm willing to bet money it didn't ;) It probably didn't do what was desired but telling us what did happen (Were there any error messages? What were they? Was the computer busy for a while? ...) makes it easier to figure out where things went wrong. All that being said importing the two files to whichever video editor you were using is probably an easier approach if you're not comfortable with the command line. Robert [1] e.g. what follows a | symbol is another program, this means that the output of the command in front of the | is the input for the command following the | If that made no sense don't worry about it too much.

Each program you want to run should either be at the start of the line or be indicated in some other way that it is a program[1]. After the program name in a command line will come any arguments that you want to give the program, these should be separated by spaces. The fact that spaces separate arguments is one of the problems you've got as there is a space in the path you want to use as an argument. In this case you have to tell the shell that this space is part of a single argument not separating two. The easiest way to do this is to put double quotes round the argument. What you have mentioned above is actually two commands, did you run it as two commands or as one? 1st command (including fix for the space): cd /media/sda5/Nuzhet shadi/mehndi edited/ This will change the working directory to the path specified. 2nd command: cat mehndil1.vob mehndi2.vob mehndi_joined.vob This calls cat on the first two files, and redirects the output to mehndi_joined.vob. cat conCATenates multiple files together and outputs the results to the standard output. The symbol redirects the standard output from the preceding command to somewhere else, in this case the file specified. still resulted in nothing! :( I'm willing to bet money it didn't ;) It probably didn't do what was desired but telling us what did happen (Were there any error messages? What were they? Was the computer busy for a while? ...) makes it easier to figure out where things went wrong. All that being said importing the two files to whichever video editor you were using is probably an easier approach if you're not comfortable with the command line. Robert [1] e.g. what follows a | symbol is another program, this means that the output of the command in front of the | is the input for the command following the | If that made no sense don't worry about it too much.

However, I don't know that the Windows world of video editing is so much better... At the moment my (work-related) video editing / DVD mastering is done in the Windows world... and I've worked out that I actually use _4_ different applications to make the average DVD. - Adobe Audition for the audio tracks - Adobe Premier for the Video editing itself - MS Paint (kid you not) for rendering simply JPGs for use as titles :-) - Adobe Encore for generating DVD menu structures - Oh, and theoretically I use Adobe Media encoder to do the rendering, but it's so well integrated with Premier these days I don't think of it as a separate application as such, just a popup options box within Premier. At the moment, I see good free / OSS alternatives to Audition and MS Paint... but stick with what's there because I know them well, can drive them very, very, quickly, and there's still one area (fourier noise reduction) where the proprietary software has an edge technically.

All the gstreamer stuff with gnonlin means half their work is done for them. I think the effort required on their part for the development would be worth it by the amount of people willing to pay for a good video editor on Linux. Also now oems are preinstalling Linux they really need a nice editor. All the old prejudices about 'how can you develop for 2 toolkits' and 'which distro do I develop for' just isn't a problem any more.

[ubuntu-uk] Video editing
Hi folks, Every couple of months I return to the disappointing world of video editing on Linux: I get the latest of each package and watch each one fail to open files and segfault all over the place. I've tried kino, lives, cinelerra, and plenty more, the names of which I forget. Can anyone point me at an up-to-date guide for video editing on Feisty that they've been able to follow? My requirements are (I believe) modest: * trim video clips * append clips together * overlay some text titles * save result Usually I give up after a few fruitless hours and boot to XP to use Nero Vision Express which just works.

I get the latest of each package and watch each one fail to open files and segfault all over the place. I've tried kino, lives, cinelerra, and plenty more, the names of which I forget. I have seen people swear by cinelerra, but they I have also seen people swear _at_ cinelerra. My mate Hugo calls it The emacs of video editors. The Source (a video podcast) use cinelerra and have provided some tutorials on its use if that helps. http://www.thesourceshow.org/ To edit screencasts I use avidemux, the versions in Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy. My requirements are pretty slim. I just open the (mpeg2) video (with no audio) and trim out he bits I don't need. I then save it, and use avidemux to chain together a set of videos (File - Open, then repeated File - Append), then save back out as mpeg2 again. Later I add an audio track and write it out again as mpeg2 with mp2 audio. Finally I use ffmpeg to do all the conversion to other video containers/codecs. One of the constraints I put on myself when creating screencasts is that I should use free/open source software wherever possible. This means that I don't use video editors on Mac/Windows even though there are really great (and expensive) ones available. I'm an eat your own dogfood kinda person, but not to the point of zealotry, I mean, I make the videos available in flash format for a start! :) I recently downloaded mainactor which looks really sweet - but also hung on my machine a few times :(. Shame it's been discontinued. I understand there is a movement to get the vendor to open source the product so development can continue. It's certainly better than any other video editor I have used on Linux. I'd certainly put my hand in my pocket to donate to the cause if I thought they would open the code up. Just my 2p.

Harris I've been thinking the same thing for ages and keep trying video editing. Really tried with Cinelerra but couldn't get on with it still. Gave kino a good go and I can actually get some good results from it now. I capture from DV in Kino, trim and edit clips, join and split etc. Then I can put titles, add transitions and then export to lots of different formats. It just feels a little strange to work with at first but once you realise the shortcuts and the correct way to work with it, it makes sense. Read the help guide with it. I've got only one problem now with it, the results seem a little dark but that may be because I'm used to Pinnacle Studio blasting contrast at me. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Video editing
Michael, I think it may soon be your lucky day. Ubuntustudio is a new release of ubuntu which focuses on us 'creative' type. Currently there are package sets for music (ubuntustudio-audio), graphic design (ubuntustudio-graphic) and even your chosen one, video (ubuntustudio-video). It's not a completely new incarnation though, as you mention it contains packages such as Kino, Cinepaint, Stopmotion and the like, but the packagers are attempting to get it as stable as possible - which as you said has been the main drawback. Check out ubuntustudio.org - you can download their CD (recommended for a fresh install) or add their repo and use that. Hope you have fun. I'm into the music personally, and really liking their efforts.
