Editing Video File

[kirkmc]

Hi,

I've copied a file from Panasonic DMR-XW380 to PC via DLNA with Twonky The file has no indication what format is it and the filename ends in _BDY.

It is interlaced and can be played with VLC. I'd like to edit it, take out ads etc. Usually I use tmpGenc Authoring 4 but the resulting file doesn't play nicely and is many seconds out of audio sync.

Has anyone have similar trouble and sorted a fix? Or can suggest something else to use?

Many thanks.

Post the details from the video. Use mediainfo, open video and view->text and copy the info.

If it's mpeg2 you could try "repair" it with for example videoredo and quickstream fix.

Hi Baldrick,

Many thanks for the reply and link. This is the text shown by mediainfo, it means little to me but I hope to learn!

Editing blu-ray/avchd 1080p AVC/H.264 is still kinda complex for many editing software. You could try videoredo h264 suite and solveigmm video splitter (try the demos/trials first).

Thanks very much Baldrick, will give that a try.
