I would stabilize the clips first and then cut them together. Cinelerra worked great for me. Take care that you wast as little information in the intermediate format. You can even try one of the loss-less formats of ffmpeg see transcode -i /dev/null -y ffmpeg -F list but make sure your editing program can read them. > > Since we are here on the transcode-ML I ask you kindly to help me for the > 2nd solution and how to prepare with the best possible quality. > > http://home.arcor.de/bogner/test_0001.avi contains a short avi-file in PAL > (21.3MB) > > What could I do to improve it? I will only speak about the stabilization part: First of all you prob. need to deinterlace the clips. I have no idea what the stabilize plugin is doing with the interlaced clip.
