Hi, i use avidemux3_qt4 from the packman repo on opensuse 13.2. It is the only tool i found, that can cut h264 (HD-TV) videos and is not too complicated. I usually set: - Video Output to "Mpeg4 AVC (x264) - Audio Output to "Copy" -> this preserves all audio tracks! You can also use "Audio -> select track" to select tracks and transcode them individually - Output Format to "Mkv muxer" - personal favourite, but mp4 should be good too Greetings On 03/05/2016 07:39 PM, Carlos E.

Hi,
I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works.
My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding.
One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously.
I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections.
I have tried:
pitivi - crashes on start
LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file.
dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!)
tragtor - can convert, but not edit.
openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track.
cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still...
kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track.
HandBrake - no edit.
Avidemux - one sound track only.
Kino - abandonware.
Lightworks ??
Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start.

Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs.
I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor.
