Puppy Video Editor

Hi all.
A program that can trim out multiple sections and make a single video from the selected portions and also repair any defects in the video streams.

Would be very good!

I think I remember a thread about that subject somewhere in the forum, but I couldn't tell you where. :oops:

aviedmux - has the ability to cut sections from a video file and join them together with out re encoding (providing they are from the same video source)

If you have slightly broken videos then another option is to install such as virtualdub and tmpgenc on wine...codecs such as x264 and xvid can be added. I have the former as its avi fixing ability is very good since avidemux is not so good when there are problems. The latter (or former) may be helpful for your mpeg.

Will OpenShot extract and join multiple vedio sections?

Like cutting out all TV commercials in one run, not one at a time for each commercial.

Something I`ve always wanted but I`ve never seen in a video editor...

avidemux ...open yer video.... then select each unwanted section (the a/b buttons set start and end) and edit-->delete from the menu.

Set to copy audio/copy video mode and save in a matter of seconds with the unwanted removed.

Thanks Mike; I never noticed when I`ve used it that it could do that.

It`d be a life saver for time consuming video editing.

If you are dealing with MPEG2 you might want to check out Gopchop and Gopdit, which will trim it without reencoding.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

disciple; I don`t think avidemux transcodes it, does it? It does a section in minutes...

But maybe it does, and Gopchop and Gopdit ( Gopedit ? ) will do it faster.

If copy is used for codecs then no re-encoding occurs only remuxing ... as per ffmpeg.

Backup my disc

#14 Post by gcmartin »

Last weekend, one of my favorite videos that I purchased several years back is scratched and wont play cleanly.

This has me concerned about the other DVD videos I have and how to create copies of just my favorites.

Is there any tools in Puppyland (peasydisc/PBurn) or other which will allow me to clone my favorites so as not to have them fall victim of destruction?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yes, I think you're right. I think Gop* somehow avoid even remuxing. To be honest I haven't used them extensively, so I can't really vouch for their output. But I've always had trouble with remuxed videos getting out of sync somehow.

mpeg2 (and mp3)can be literally sliced up because of how they are structured so yes without remuxing.
Remuxing sync errors tend to happen when variable bitrate sound is used... a PITA that saves but a few MB.

DVD backup.....
Handbrake... newer versions are mp4 only but the one that does avi/xvid/mp3 is around still here (0.9.2). I have a simple gui as the linux one offered is a bit barmy.

Favourite convertor I use is Mencoder ... its fast and seems to make smaller files.... I am tending to use x264 now as it can encode using multi cores and makes smaller videos that are very impressive in quality. Again I have a simple gui for it to avoid the command line.

I assume ffmpeg can do it too... well everything linux uses ffmpeg in some form or other....its how the dvd is handled that varies.

Avidemux can be used !!!... you select the largest vob.... usually ok but sometimes you have extra parts to the dvd which may not be included or tagged onto the end. The other 2 can select titles and chapters and list contents.

i was searching information about mencoder
But i can tell that videocut will satisfy most of requirements searched by Dookus .
"A program that can trim out multiple sections and make a single video from the selected portions and also repair any defects in the video streams."

I ever some friends post behind me to underline that Dookus has gone, i answer right now, perhaps Dookus has gone, but video aficionados are still here. That will help them
I tried videocut.. You edit your video image by image. I'ts quite to much. avidemux is enough for me.

Confirmed, videocut is the tool for video-makers (devs ?)

Hello, everyone! I am not sure where to post my question... but hopefully, it is the right place.

I am looking for the video editing software which is not complicated. I am not experienced in video editing that is why not sure with which tool to start.

Thank you :oops:

Hallo, charisse.

Can you let us know which Puppy you're running, please? Not all different apps will run in all Pups, y'see.....

If you should happen to be running one of the Ubuntu-based Pups (Tahrpup, or Xenialpup), the one I would recommend for ease of use would be OpenShot. Granted, it doesn't have half enough features to satisfy the 'experts' who do this kinda stuff all the time.....but for folks who just want to do basic video editing, it's perfect. :)

Also, if you could give us some idea of your computer's specs (like CPU, amount of RAM, size of hard drive, what type of graphics, etc.....and age!!), that will help us to decide which apps to recommend. There's quite a choice...


Mike. :wink:
