Hello all, I'm new to this list as well as the whole DivX ;-) thing in general so please bear with me. I recently installed the vcr package on my Debian Linux machine to capture television in the DivX format. It works great, no problems whatsoever. It's after the capture that I'm having problems.
What are people out there using for editing DivX files? Here's an example of what I am currently doing. I record 60 minutes of television. I need to remove the commercials so I use mplayer to flip through the file & write down the start & end times of all the commercials. Then, with avirecompress, I have it create a sample config file, I then tweak the file by hand as I cannot get the GUI interface to properly cut video & audio so that they are in sync. After tweaking the file I use avirecompress with the config file(s) option to copy the file into the pieces I want. At this point, I would like to join the file back together but I find if I use "avicat *.avi", the resulting output file is really messed up, the wrong audio plays for a video segment, the video cuts from the first segment to the second at random, all bad things. So currently, I leave it cut, burn it on a cd, & use a playlist to watch it. If in parts of my recording, there is significant frame loss at a certain part, avirecompress will abort when it gets to that part rather than copying it "as is". More bad things. Does anyone have some suggestions to help me make this process a little better. Is there better programs for chopping & joining files?
