See [[wp:Non-linear editing system]]s and CD for sharing with family and friends.[[wp:Comparison of video editing software]]

== Intro Applications ==I have === Editing ===Get familiar with these editing tools; [ffmpeg.org/ FFmpeg] [[wp:FFmpeg]] : One of, if not ''the'' most useful tool in the land of multimedia is FFMPEG. ; [http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode Transcode] [[wp:Transcode_(software)]] : tool is built using the libavcodec library of FFmpeg. ; [http://www.avidemux.org/ Avidemux] [[wp:Avidemux]] ([http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki]) : Available in three user interfaces (GTK+, QT4 and cli) for all major operating systems. Avidemux is a free video camera editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and several tapes with movies on themencoding tasks. I have always intended It's graphical user interface looks pretty similar to take the movies off the tapes VirtualDub and most features known from VirtualDub are available too. Avidemux natively supports a great number of file types, such as they were recordedAVI, MPEG, VOB, TS, MP4, ASF, OGM, MKV and transfer them to my PCFLV. Once on At the PCsame time Avidemux natively supports a wide range of Video/Audio formats, I want to edit the movies (delete scenesincluding MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP, H.264/AVC, DV, HuffYUV, MP3, AAC, add transitionsAC-3 and Vorbis. Tasks can be automated using projects, etcjob queue and powerful scripting capabilities.Video-DVD or (S) I also want VCD compliant streams can be created with easy-to -use the PC for either permanent archival "Auto" wizards.

It features autosplit of long video sequences,and supports saving the data as raw frames, AVI type 1, AVI type 2,Quicktime DV, or a series of JPEG stills. '''gscanbus''' scan IEEE1394 (firewire/i.link) bus gscanbus is a little bus scanning, testing and topology visualizingtool for the Linux IEEE1394 subsystem, with some AV/C support,especially for controlling Camcorders and VCRs. It is intended as adebugging tool for IEEE1394 development, but can also be used tosimply check your IEEE1394 setup on Linux. (see [http://gscanbus.berlios.de[Video Editing/My Story]) '''libdc1394''' high level programming interface for IEEE1394 digital camera libdc1394 is a library that is intended to provide a high levelprogramming interface for application developers who wish to controlIEEE 1394 based cameras that conform to the 1394-based Digital CameraSpecification (found at [http://www.1394ta.org/]). This package contains shared libraries. '''libraw1394''' library for direct access to IEEE 1394 bus (aka FireWire) libraw1394 is the only supported interface to the kernel side raw1394of the Linux IEEE-1394 subsystem, which provides direct access to theconnected 1394 buses to user space. Through libraw1394/raw1394,applications can directly send to and receive from other nodes withoutrequiring a kernel driver for the protocol in question. '''libavc1394''' control IEEE1394 audio/video devices libavc1394 is a programming interface for the 1394 Trade Association AV/C(Audio/Video Control) Digital Interface Command Set. It allows you toremote control camcorders and similar devices connected to your computervia an IEEE1394 (aka Firewire) link. This package includes the libraries needed to run executables usinglibavc1394.
