... for snipping sections of video from an mpeg2 file?

gopchop seems to be dead upstream, and I can't find any way to
pause, move forward/backwards at sub-1x speeds or frame-by-frame.

TIA

Hi Ron

You may find avidemux worth looking at. It works very well for me.

I dismissed it out of hand, because it is *avi*demux. Now that I do
an "apt-cache show", I see that it might do what I want.

Thanks.

I use ProjectX (it's the best thing I've found for automatically
resynching the out-of-synch video/audio streams that come out of my
adaptec avc-2210 usb mpeg2 encoder). You will, however, need to
install a java runtime to make it work...

It works, and lets me chop out exactly what I want (thanks!!), but
during playback there are blocky artifacts at the points where I
deleted frames.

Am I doing something wrong?

So long as the edit point is a "keyframe" (selected using the "<<" and
">>" buttons) then IME the edit will be clean.

If that's a problem, convert the video to MJPEG format. In MJPEG every
frame is a keyframe. Of course the file will be huge.
