video edition


Hey...

I need to edit some big .avi , since they are bigger then a CD... I could cut then in two, or... any other option... :-)

But I don't know what program can I use in linux.... :-(

And I just could find how to convert one format to another in these foruns, but not how to edit the files.


Sugestions?

To just split a file, it's enough to use the split command.
To split the file myfilm.avi in parts of 650 MB, type at the shell:
$ split -b 650m
and it gives you two output files, called something like xaa and xab.
You can paste them together using the cat command,
$ cat xaa xab > mypastedfilm.avi

To split it using a video tool, look at mplayer, I think you're able to cut an avi to a number of minutes and dump it to a file with that program.

But you'd better take a look at
http://www.linux.org/apps/all/Multimedia/Video.html
I hope you find some nice video-editing tools there.
