After looking around for a GUI program to edit mpeg's quickly, freely and easily, I finally resorted to using cinelerra as a front-end to zapcut. steps involved are: - create index on mpeg using mpeg3toc (`mpeg3toc movie.mpg movie.toc`) - cut away unwanted pieces (`cinelerra movie.toc`) - save editing to movie.xml - run attached script (`cine2zap movie`) - send output into zapcut (`zapcut --cmd -` using cut and paste for the moment) Does anyone know how to record and play dolby digital movies from satellite on suse 9.1? regards w.g. cine2zap: #!/bin/bash cat $1.xml|xzapcutmap $1.mpg $1.x.mpg ----------------------------------------------------- xzapcutmap: #!/bin/bash cat $1.xml|xzapcutmap $1.mpg $1.x.mpg linux:/home/bin # cat xzapcutmap #!/usr/bin/perl $magicnbr=1.19879878170277; @cuts=(); $tlen=0; $length=0; $videomode=0; $index=0; $line=""; while($line=<STDIN>) { if ($line =~ /^
