AVI Editing

[savilash]

Hi There

I have transferred some DV tapes to my hard disk in AVI format. I have noticed that there some abnormalities in each file which I would like to cut out. Once removed, I would like to save it again in AVI format so that Pinnacle Studio 9 can be used to create the DVD.

Can someone please tell me which software program I can download from Doom9 which will allow me to do this ? Bear in mind I am a Newbie and not very confident with command line type software.

Thanking you all in advance and look forward to some useful feedback.

Hi!

VirtualDub or VirtualDubMOD should serve you well...

Cutting with VirtualDub (or any of its variants)


1)Load your original (DivX-compressed or otherwise) .AVI into VirtualDub
2) Set BOTH "Video" and "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) Move slider to the starting point of the scene you wish to delete
4) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Go to next keyframe"
5) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection Start"
6) Move slider to the ending point of the scene you wish to delete
7) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Go to next keyframe"
8) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection End'
9) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Delete frames"
10) Save with a new filename
