Hej listmembers,
this is a cry-out for help!
I am using Debian Linux since years, didn't care so much about
multimedial stuff until now I got a Toshiba Camcorder (K80HE) that makes
me trembling.... The bundled software (Nero and Imagepixel-something) is
suicidal and due to my conviction, I'm sure the files should be handable
with an appropriate Linux tool, which seems to be transcode in this case.
Now that I had some looks on it, it seems using transcode is quite a
challenge, at least with my kind of files. So I try to find some help here!
First let me try to explain my 'masterplan' and ask if I'm on the right way:
I have the files from my cam. I know those parameters:
Geometry: 1280x720, 16:9
Codec: h.264, 59,94 fps
Audio: AAC2ch, 48 kHz, 128 kbps
With that, I hope it should be possible to convert the files with
transcode to dv, of which I beleave to be a non-compressed video-format.
After having dv-files, I want to use kino
I wold not invest time learning kino. it is nice, and if you know it, keep
using it. but the one and only developer said:
"Yes, Kino is that stupid. ... It is just not worth it to continue to grow Kino
on my own. ... I had to go help someone else, and I chose kdenlive." - Dan Dennedy
So at a minimum I would say use kdenlive, and also look at the other options:
cinelerra (powerfull, awkward)
lumiera - not ready yet
PiTiVi - looks good, not sure if it has the features you want
lives - no comment
diva - dead.
anyone want to add to my list?

I would get the one from here:
