Hi all,

I have some video files where I want to cut out the ads and other parts. What would be a simple but useful program for this?

Thanks,

JIM

I've tried avidemux but I can't seem to get the audio correct to the video. What I have is two files one ending in ts and the other in idx. I copied a TV show off my sat disk. I cut out the ads then compress it to avi. But so far the audio is not correct and the video looks odd, too high and not wide enough. Any ideas?

To edit DVB recordings, and if you need the result as an mpeg file (which would be directly suitable for producing a video DVD), i recommend: 0) ignore the idx file, only the ts file contains the recording 1) Demultiplex the ts file using ProjectX (from the packman repository or http://www.lucike.info/index.htm?http://www.lucike.info/page_projectx.htm). You will get an m2v file containing the video track only and an mp2 and/or ac3 file with the audio track(s) 2) Multiplex the results on the command line as follows: mplex -f 8 -o <outputfile> <m2v file> < ac3 or mp2 file> substitute the real file names for the stuff in the brackets. 3) edit the output file using dvbcut (*dvbcut*.sourceforge.net) maybe dvbcut can open the ts file directly, but I recommend steps 1 and 2 because DVB broadcasts often contain transmission errors and projectX corrects them during multiplexing. If you need the result as an avi file, insert a resize filter in avidemux which corrects the aspect ratio to the right value (for PAL SDTV it is 720x576, dont know what it is for NTSC) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Depending on the accuracy needed at the edit points, you might consider gopchop (http://gopchop.sourceforge.net/). It allows you to cut out bits between full frame syncs ("gop"s in mpeg-speak). Doing this has the advantage that no decoding/encoding needed. This makes is very fast, and there is no image degradation. Using gopchop depends on the type of source file you have. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
