If you don't care about the quality of the cutted scenes projectx, is |
| 6 |
what i reccommend. |

But projectx and many other editors are only capable of cutting on a I-Frame |

The video cut theory is explained at |

http://www.radonmaster.de/robernd/tMPEG.html unfortunatly it is in |

german |

If you want to cut frame accurate (cut on B- and P-Frames too) i think |
| 14 |
ttcut is the better choice, here you can enable encoding mode so it |
| 15 |
uses mencoder (and you don't have to read the immense man page for |
| 16 |
mencoder) to recode the video. Not the whole video is encoded, only a |
| 17 |
maximum of 14 pictures (i think 15 pictures is the standard GOP lenght |
| 18 |
for MPEG video) around the cut mark depending on where exactly you |
| 19 |
want to cut |

i don't know if kino or avidemux can handle this now, if anyone knows |
| 22 |
better please tell me! |
