  1. To begin - System is an AMD-64 3400 with 512 megs of RAM, 1 200-Gig internal HD, 3 250-Gig internal HDs, an XForce (nvidia) video card with 256 megs of RAM, and running Lindows 4.5.335. Capture is using a Canopus ADVC-100 through a firewire card.

    I am able to capture video just fine with Kino. But at 6-20 Gig a file, I don't really want to store the files without first editing out the commercials and doing at least some light compression.

    When I try to do this with Kino, I can do the edit if I export to another DV file, which cuts the commercials but does no compression. If I choose to export as an MPEG or DiVX file (even though I've installed Linux DiVX), I get an error condition.

    I then installed Cinelerra. I can do the edits, but when I do a render, I can't find any way to do a decent looking video that doesn't have a major audio sync problem.

    Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix Kino, Cinelerra, or some other package to use? Telling me to use another Linux distribution is, unfortunately, not an option at this time - unless you know of one that can auto-install a Linksys WUSB-11 version 3.8 device so I don't have to spend a weekend building and configuring my internet connection.

    Thanks,
    Ewan

  2. Managed to get Kino exporting properly if I use the "DVD" Mpeg option. I assume there's an issue with what codecs it's willing to use based on how you captured your DV in the first place.

    Now the main issue is speed. In WinXP using VirtualDub I could render an edited file to the MS-MPEG4 codec at high quality in about an hour. Kino with a similarly long file is taking almost five hours.

    Any suggestions?
