Simple video editing?

[ted leslie]

i use mplayer/mencoder  this is my shell line to chop up something

start=430; end=780; diff=`sh -c "expr $end - $start"`; frm=`sh -c "expr
$diff  \* 30"`; mencoder $V  -ovc copy -ss $start -frames  $frm -o
`mktemp vidXXXXXX`

$V is the video clips name



have to match frame rate change 30 to 24 or 29 or whatever your in

also can re encode by  "man mencoder" and change -ovc,
also need to add audio flags too 
some other handy stuff i use for corrections of interlacing, and digital
filters, etc are below, also note scale switch, the 3d digital noise
filter rocks!

  -ssf lgb=0.2:cgb=0.1 -vop scale=1152:720,pp=fd,hqdn3d=2:2:18"

 -double  -ssf lgb=0.8:cgb=0.3 -vop
eq2=1.0:0.6:0.0:0.9,scale=0,pp=fd,hqdn3d=9:9:15"
