Hi, Iam searching for a video editing tool which can handle *.ts files with the h264 codec. The program have to trim and join the source videofile without reencoding and without editing the header information of the file.

...so yesterday I filmed fireworks underneath London Eye, since it lasts for 13min in size it's 1.4GB, I wanted to reduce it's size to smaller to put it on youtube, otherwise I'm at the moment with broadband and they are really unstable regarding connect. I tried vegas 7.0, but for some reason it doesn't recognize .mp4 file and sometimes it does recognize but makes this 13min video into 108h video and then it just freezes (app).
any ideas?
Happy New Year to everyone by the way!
You can use virtualdubmod on a windows pc. Load the video into it and save the video as an avi with xvid compression. Virtualdubmod and the xvid codec are both freeware and googling them will find the download links for you.
Also if you want to edit the video virtualdubmod can do that easily.

You can use this free windows program http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/ to patch video header and make it a standard mp4 that any software can open

tried this app, but it doesn't shrink size, just convert into AVI, that's all. Thanks anyway.

for some reason it can't recognize .mp4 video what I filmed with O3D and tried the other recommended app which turns .mp4 into .avi's and it still shows some error about:
Couldn't find decompressor for format 'H264' (unknown)
The mpeg4avi program only fixes the video header so any software will read it as a h264 mpeg four video file.
After patching it you can use the new version, it defaults to calling it videout.avi, in any progran to edit it.
If your choice of program can't read it you just need to install a h264 codec like this one at http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/ as that lets virtualdub see the video.
Basically you need a h264 codec, an xvid codec, virtualdubmod and all you do then is....
1. In virtualdubmod choose open file option and load your video
2. For compression choose xvid and set it how you want or leave it at its default setting
3. Choose to save avi. It will reduce size based on your settings for compression.

tnx, it cut size in bout half, but still 700mb for 11min, tried to edit it in Vegas 7.0, but it just recognize only sound, not picture.
Vegas nay need a direct show h264 filter like the free ffmpeg one as opposed to the vfw one I linked to.
You can get hd video down to about four hundred megabytes by trying different settings such as lower bitrate in xvid or setting it to have a quantiser of more than 1. The easiest way is encode a short thirty second clip in virtualdub to test different settings. On youtube some similar length hd videos are as small as 250 mb but it depends on your compression settings mainly.

changing video moe from full proccessing mode to different would decrease size also?

You have to have full processing on. It can only be off for things like converting framerate that do not require changes to the actual video itself. But you should be able to get good results with bitrates as low as 1500 k its just a case of finding compression settings you prefer.

So, I was experimenting with TF and somehow, I managed to edit the media_profiles.xml file found on system/etc folder. I changed all the "3gp" values to "mp4", rebooted the TF and voila! I can now shoot videoes in MP4 format using the stock camera.
Is that really mp4 container or you just renamed 3gp to mp4 and its played by programs smart enough to detect 3gp under 'mp4' extension?
Yes, it's really MP4. Here's the xml file that I edited found in system/etc:
Hi guys!
Some mkv movie files I watch on my Asus transformer prime tablet are a bit too dark, and no Android Media Players allows you to change brightness on the video file when you are playing it. So I was wondering if there was a program on pc that allows you to change brightness on a mkv video file without having to convert the whole file? I would want a program where you can just edit the brightness, then save the new file, like that. No need to spend hours converting each file.
Thanks!
Hi all
I want to develop an android app in which i want to encode a video in mp4 format from series of images and a mp3 file.
I successfully created a video in mp4format from series of images by using JCodec library.
but unfortunately i'm unable to encode a mp3 file in it because JCodec does not have functionality of mp3 merging in mp4 along with series of images.
After that I also tried FFMPEG but i was unable to compile it.
So please help me to sort out this problem.
Thanks
