Just to follow this up a little bit: Check out
http://www.robfisher.net/video/
Kino is the app I couldn't remember, it does capture directly
and does
some rudimentary video editing. That page also has a
Cinelerra
tutorial there that's a really good quickstart on it, and links
to
dv2dv binaries which will convert from the dvgrab created AVI to
a
file with the same codec that the latest Cinelerra reads no
problem.
I still haven't created a video CD, but a friend of mine has
started
auto racing (mostly just autocross, with a little bit of track
time
for training) and we've dusted off my video camera and mounted
it
between his seats so the rest of us drinking buddies can jeer
from
afar, and I've been burning the results to movie files on CD
which
play just fine on Windows.
Cinepaint is what used to be called Film Gimp:
http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/
CinePaint is a free open source painting and image retouching
program
designed to work best with 35mm film and other high resolution
high
dynamic range images. It is the most popular open source tool in
the
motion picture industry -- used in Scooby-Doo, Harry Potter,
Stuart
Little and other feature films. CinePaint is used for painting
of
background mattes and for frame-by-frame retouching of movies.
CinePaint
is available for Linux, Macintosh OS X, Windows, and other
popular
operating systems.
The extended 16-bit color range of CinePaint appeals to
35mm
cinematographers and professional still photographers because
film
scanners are capable of greater color bit-depth than can be
displayed on
a monitor or can be manipulated in typical programs. However,
CinePaint
is a general-purpose tool useful for working on images for
motion
pictures, print, and the Web. CinePaint supports many file
formats, both
conventional formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and TGA images --
and more
exotic cinema formats such as Cineon and OpenEXR.
CinePaint is free software. The generosity and commitment of
its
developers, users and sponsors make CinePaint possible.
it looks like this process is similar to making mp3's. first
you rip,
then you encode. probably because, as ryan pointed out, encoding
is an
expensive process. so here is what i gather from everybody's
replies:
1. it looks like i have a few choices for ripping to disk:
mplayer
xawtv
nuppelvideo
mjpegtools
2. and a few choices for encoding:
mencoder (part of mplayer distribution)
mjpegtools
ffmpeg
transcode
3. between ripping and encoding, ryan gave a suggestion on
basic editing
like cutting out commercials or "upcoming attractions" of movies
that
were released 5 years ago (i hate the fact that they put
upcoming
attraction on videos that i purchase). a few is ok, but
sometimes
they really let it get out of hand).
