| 513588 | 2007-01-07 21:52:00 | Hmm...the term "K.I.S.S" springs to mind. The blender (www.blender.org) has a very capable video/sound editor and supports clustered computing (www.ram.org). Both of which however involve a step learning curve. Not to mention learning a new os. I suspect your not wanting to settup your own video editing company and probly only need to do this sort of thing once in a while...so keep it simple. Several products have been suggested already that will do what you want with little fuss. Seems to me your not too concerned about how long your render takes (to a point of course). Chances are you know how to enjoy that time. (reading's nice, walking the dog, spending time with the family) good for you.:thumbs: |

Some of us like to dream :) Possibly somewhat easier to achieve but not so affordable would also be this option which doesn't require such a learning curve, although Id probably stick to the Linux option if I had a non existant budget too. www.apple.com It works for all 3 systems. |

| 513590 | 2007-01-08 06:50:00 | Yeah I only have one computer to use to do this, so distributed computing isn't really what I'm after here. I'm really after something that's open source / freeware, that's can demux an mpeg, and recombine the video/audio, without needing to fully re-encode both. |

| 513591 | 2007-01-08 07:46:00 | Sounds like http://www.virtualdub.org/ would be for you then. After that you have to start paying for the features you want. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 513592 | 2007-01-08 08:02:00 | Virtual dub won't let me play with the audio without re-encoding the video (or not re-encoding it, as is the case), and as such spits out a massive uncompressed avi file. For some reason the computer doesn't like large files (hence the capturing as mpeg, rather than uncompressed avi), and the resulting file's video and audio stutter quite dramatically. Have tried using audacity to play with the audio, but it's coming out all funked up for some reason. |

Could be due to the amount of ram. And the CPU. And if the hdd is formatted in FAT32 u wont be able to create files bigger than 4 GB. Until u convert the hdd to NTFS. If the system supports it. It'll give u an error. |

| 513594 | 2007-01-08 08:12:00 | I had the capping program setup to chop the files up into 20MB files to avoid it lagging out as the file got too big (it started lagging even with the smaller MPEG files). And the HDD is NTFS. |

Have tried using audacity to play with the audio, but it's coming out all funked up for some reason. Like all things there is a learning curve, the demux process slpits 2 entwined streams so of course there is encoding to do, Though the output is as per your specification, You select how you want the streams encoded. Anyway, your first mistake is capturing in MPEG( its all downhill from there, and you can capture with better quality and lower bitrate then mpeg and still end up with a file thats easy to edit.), your second is blaming the output on the program. Capture using the huffy codec,demux,edit, run the 2 separate streams through autogk to get a finished avi file. |

| 513596 | 2007-01-08 08:30:00 | Problem is I can't seem to capture in any other format than some poor quality MPEG format, without the whole thing being reduced to a stuttering mess. I'm using a DV2000 cap card, with the supplied PVR software. Dunno how to stop it doing this. |
