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

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.

For general video editing I use Norgos's avidemux pet from here.
But, if I need to cut between frames, I use virtualaldub, running under wine. I use vdfiltermod/,
along with an xvid plugin to reduce the size of the resultant avi output files.

I use avidemux too.
We begin with avidemux, It will do 95% of the job. Then finish with titles and all decorations with Openshot. !

Video and photo editing are easy nowadays with a computer and digital image.

What do you think that we should deal with on video and photo editing?
There are the programs like gimp, openshot and kdenlive etc, and I'm pretty sure they have their own forums to talk about everything related to photo and video editing - including issues and problems.
Why didn't you deal with video and photo editing?
Go ahead and create what you are missing...
