So, they type of video editing I want to do is actually easier under linux than Windows. I'm rather happy about that. I found this cool program called GOPchop which basically allows you to visually edit an MPEG2 file. You can use a slider for big jumps, and when you get close use next and previous buttons to jump between GOPs (generally the I-frames). Then you just specify whether it's a start or stop point, and once they're all in the list of clips export and you have an edited video. I took an hour long recording of music videos from TV, and had a specific video pulled out and saved in about 2 minutes. Combined with the fact that authoring DVDs is extremely easy too, I just need my burner supported under linux now. At least I just have to select the .iso and choose burn and that's it... Now to just get all these other recordings edited and burned to DVD... Tonight I watched the rest of Speed 2 since the DVD was incomplete last time. I'd have to say that movie is OK but not all that great. Speaking of recording DVDs though, I found a decent blank which seems to be compatible with every drive I've put it in. Now to just make a bulk order...
