Description: MJPEG video capture/editting/playback MPEG encoding
The mjpeg programs are a set of tools that can do recording of videos and
playback, simple cut-and-paste editing and the MPEG compression of audio
and video under Linux. This package combines them with important supporting
libraries required for their use.
The "lavrec" utility supplied supports capture from Zoran based MJPEG
capture/playback cards like the Buz (Iomega), DC10 (MIRO, Pinnacle) and the
LML33 (Linux Media Labs). Compatible MJPEG avi files can also be created
using any frame-grabbing card supported by the xawtv tool.
Videos recorded in this can be filtered, editted, and converted to MPEG
streams. The MPEG encoder is optimised for high quality results at medium
to high bit-rates (1Mbps upwards) and supports MMX/SSE/3D-Now and SMP. A
Duron 700 can deliver around 15-20 352x288 frames per second.
A key design objective of the tools is interoperability with other video
tools: currently xawtv, bcast2000, nuppelvideo and vcdimager are known to
interoperate. The MJPEG utilities can read AVI, Quicktime, and movtar
streams. The MPEG encoder can produce streams suitable for buring to
VCD/SVCD using vcdimager or similar tools. The software playback of MPEG
streams works with almost every player and every OS. SSE/MMX and 3D-Now!
are supported permitting a 700Mhz CPU to deliver arond 15-20 VCD
frames/second.

Well, I'm still stumbling around blindly on this. I did find that ProjectX
can also be run from the command line. Bizarre as it may sound, I am finding
for doing something simple, the command line is far less intimidating.
My goal is to take a .mpg file, and edit it between the key frames. Thus far
I have succeeded in using ProjectX to demux a .mpg file. … I'm hoping I
can then take that output, together with a line number (for the cut)
obtained from lve, and use m2vmp2cut (or avidemux) to cut the mpeg file
where I want cut. .. AND keep audio synch. (As a note - I tried avidemux
first on the original mpeg, but the file I am using has also given AVIDEMUX
problems (with audio synch)).
At this point in time, that appears to be a rather "lofty" goal, and I'm not
all that confident that I will succeed. Has anyone else tried and succeeded
at this?

Well, it turns out I was too pessimistic. With ProjectX, from an input .mpg
file, I generated an output .m2v and .mp2 files. I used these two ProjectX
files as an input to Avidemux. I was then able to edit/remux the audio &
video files with avidemux, and this time retain audio/video
synchronisation. My edit/cut was successfully made in between two keyframes
(where as before, using only avidemux on the original .mpg file gave me an
audio/video desync problem). Impressive!

gopchop - MPEG2 GOP-accurate editor
Source
Description
This tool is used for people wanting to take sections out of MPEG2-PS
files without re-encoding the resulting frames. The idea is to write
specific "Group of Pictures" (GOP) sections to a new MPEG2-PS file. These
GOPs will decode correctly (in theory), and the gaps won't be noticed.
I wrote this tool to edit commercials out of MPEG2 files produced by my KFir
MPEG2 capture card. Using this tool for anything else is really beyond the
scope of its design.
This is a *LOSSY* process on MPEGs that have open GOPs. To close a GOP, I
must toss B-Frames at the start of a GOP. If you were to mark each frame in
an MPEG for splicing in gopchop, you would end up with fewer frames than you
started with. To "close" an open GOP, I must toss those B-Frames. To
stop this behavior, uncheck the "Drop Orphaned Frames" option in the
"Preferences" window.
Help
Using gopchop
The basic way to use gopchop is like so:
-
Run gopchop.
-
Select an MPEG2 with "File / Open".
-
Drag the slider to the first GOP you want to have in a clip.
(You can disable "Edit / Preferences… / Auto Refresh" to seek
faster, and then click "Refresh" to see where you
are in the file.)
-
Click "Start Mark".
-
Drag the slider to the last GOP you want in the clip.
-
Click "End Mark". (If you drag the slider somewhere before the
first mark, "End Mark" will not do anything.)
-
Repeat steps 3 through 6 to select all the clips you want saved.
-
Drag clips up and down to reorder them in the Clip List window.
-
To delete unwanted clips, select it, and hit Del or Backspace.
-
Save the clips to a new MPEG2 with "File / Export".
If you want to save different clips, select "Edit / Clear" and start
over at step 3. If you want to use a different source MPEG2, select "File
/ Close" and start over at step 1.
How it works
I scan the MPEG2 for a full list of System packets, then examine the Program
Element Stream packets they contain. In the video PES, I look for GOP
headers (and Picture headers). Each GOP is then mapped back to the System
packets that contain it (a full GOP can span multiple VES packets, and
multiple System packets). When a GOP is saved to a new file, the entire
System packet list for that GOP is written as a byte-for-byte copy from the
source MPEG2. In theory, this will take any audio streams along for the
ride. So far, so good. :)
In the "Info" box, the "Offset" column shows the system packet offset (for
GOPs) and the video packet offset (for Pictures). The "Bytes" column lists
the bytes contained by all the system packets (for the GOP), and all the
video packets in a Picture. You'll notice that the Offset plus the Bytes
don't add up to the next Picture's Offset. This is because there is stuff
between the video packets. :) The GOP "Bytes" and "Offset", however, should
add up to the next GOP's "Offset" value.
The settings under the "Preferences" window are automatically saved to
".gopchop/options" in your home directory.

dvbcut is very good at chopping pieces out of .mpg files AND retaining
audio-video sync. It can also splice between key frames. It is a very simple
interface/gui. While what it does is limited - what it does do, it does
extremely well.

Yes, but I use a heavily patched gopchop. And I extract the audio
and video separately.
My gut feel is that your problem is due to gopchop-1.1.7"s inability
to snip exactly at frame boundaries. I sent Kees Cook a patchset a
while ago that included a patch that can do this (and he forwarded it
to the mailing list, but it looks like you can"t retrieve the patchset
from sourceforge), but it probably _still_ won"t work for you since my
patchset didn"t leave 2048-byte DVD-complient frames, nor was it smart
it enough to snip the audio in the same way, too, nor did it handle
DVD NAV packs.
I"m still trying to figure out if the audio is a big issue or not. I
do think the 2048-byte packets, as well as the code"s ignorance of NAV
packs will ultimately break it.
If you want to try my patchset (it"s against gopchop-1.1.3, some, but
not all of the patches were included in 1.1.7) you can get it at:
http://www.freesoft.org/~baccala/gopchop-patches.tgz
But like I said, I don"t expect it to work (sorry).

I finally found something out that probably explains why I"m about the
only person on this list that seems concerned about the frame
boundaries problem. I just read that DVD pads its video at NAV pack
boundaries, so if you"re working with DVD, and there"s a one-to-one
correspondence between NAV packs and GOPs, then your video is already
padded and you don"t need to worry about this.
The same source (mpucoder"s DVD-Video pages) says that audio is only
padded at cell boundaries, so I still wonder about the effects
of chopping the audio packets.

Avidemux is a graphical tool to edit video. It can open AVI, openDML, MPEG,
Nuppelvideo, and BMPs. Most common codecs are supported (M-JPEG, MPEG, DivX,
Xvid, huffyuv, WMA, etc.) thanks to libavcodec and libmpeg2. Video can be
edited, cut, appended, filtered (resize/crop/denoise), and re-encoded to
either AVI (DivX/Xvid) or MPEG 1/2.
Source
Features
Help, Editing mpeg files
1. Introduction
Avidemux can read (indexed) mpeg file, both elementary stream and program stream (i.e. vob files for example) thanks to mpeg2dec
Internally, the mpeg are seen as frames with a fake codec (MPEG).
If you save the file in copy mode, you will end up with mpeg inside avi, but since it is non standard, only avidemux will be able to read it back.
2. Splitting, external muxing
-
General
-
As usual, define the section you are interested in using and . You should read cutting if you did not already.
-
Audio
-
No special care to take here. Just save the audio in copy mode using File->Save audio menu entry. You will end-up with either foo.mp2 or foo.ac3.
-
Video
-
For video, we will use File->Save raw stream. This menu entries will ask the demuxer the raw data, bypassing the mpeg decoding step. It will also reconstruct the PTS/DTS logic to have a compliant mpeg stream.
Now you have a foo.m1v or foo.m2v mpeg1/2 elementary stream which should be synced with foo.mp2.
-
System
-
Now it is time to remultiplex both stream to end-up with foo.mpg. The first seq_header has the timestamp of the fist frame (uncut). It may confuse mplex and you will end up with tons of error/warning message.
The best is to use tcmplex from transcode to mux them back together.
3. Splitting, internal muxing
-
General
-
As usual, define the section you are interested in using and . You should read cutting if you did not already. In that mode, avidemux will write a mpeg2 PS stream (lvemux lower part from lvempeg. This mpeg2 PS contains NAV packet and is suitable to DVD authoring. Even my pionner accepts them :).
-
Audio
-
Audio must be 48 kHz and either MP2 or AC3 (as of today it means libavcodec AC3 or libavcodec MP2). It can be either from copy and/or process mode (for example editing a PVR capture file).
-
Video
-
The video must be mpeg (that seems obvious). As for audio, it can be in copy mode (edited PVR or DVD) or process mode (converted avi or converted nuv).
-
Saving
-
Now, it is time to use File-save mpeg PS. If audio is in copy mode, you will be asked the A/V shift to correct. For DVD it ranges from 0 to about 200 ms. For PVR captured stream it can be anything.
|
There is two importants things to consider here :
-
The muxing will introduce by default a 40 ms shift. Can be neglected if the sync was perfect.
-
When saving as mpeg PS, the GOP timestamp will be recomputed to avoid jump in case of edited PVR streams.
