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?
transcode v1.0.2 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T. Bitterberg
I would get the one from here:
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/experimental/main/binary-i386/package/transcode.php
(or whatever arch you are on)
Hej Carl,
first thank you for your reply!
I got a hint to www.openmovieeditor.org
Thanks, I'll add that to my list.
SimAV: between kino and cinelerra
raffa: It's easy as kino but more powerful and especially *more logic*.
from a different list
(debian-multimedia) that might be interesting too, so I will try
different authoring software for this step. But again, I'm going to
convert the source files first and this works bad with both kino and
openmovieeditor: It's not in good flow!
Concerning the transcode version I switched to
debian-multimedia.org/testing and got version 1.07. With that I'm going
to try more but still have difficulties with the parameters....
oh yeah, it's stuck on that version for some reason.
Here is the scrip I use to build a tc.deb from trunk:
depending on what version you get, you will need to adjust
OLDVER=transcode-1.0.2
and if this doesn't get everything (at one point there was a conflict)
sudo aptitude -s -f build-dep $PACKAGE
use the # sudo aptitude install to force everything.
The result is a .deb that can be installed/removed, so you don't confuse your
package management system by installing things it doesn't know about.
#!/bin/bash
# updeb.sh
# updates a deb. well, makes a deb from current source.
