Hi One more tiny problem along my way ... I produce .avi files. The criteria are quite-important: small file less-important:quality
I create files from a v4l stream, and the files are OK, and can be viewed with mplayer. This (embedded in qt) is how I record: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/transcode -q 2 \ -x v4l2 \ -g 640x480 \ -i /dev/video0 \ -p /dev/dsp \ -N 0x1 \ -Q 5 \ -w 1000 \ -y ffmpeg,tcaud \ -F mjpeg \ -o /home/jam/recording.avi I wish to edit the files with avidemux. The simple ^C ^X and ^V interface is perfect. SOME files (and the mix of embedded or desktop and which distro is not quite clear) are editable and some say 'Can't open file' when opened by avidemux. The actual file permissions are correct. I've tried avi-info in various guises and see nothing significant. Can anybody suggest anything? eg what about an mp4 container ? As a last resort I'll build and debug avidemux, but this is way-past-my- bedtime (not building, but all the video nuances) IE my goal is an embedded video recorder that creates smallish files for records of the activity (underwater dives, head camera and audio via helium descrambler) I now have everything working except editing. (I've looked at the qauntlet of video tools eg kdenlive etc) avidemux is perfect for task/users skill set. Thanks James
