video editor

[Runn3r.cze]

i need some video editor (format converting, resizing, ...) i was looking for some about one month ago, but i didn't find anyone good for me. and now i need it because i want to watch some movies on my mp3 player which supports only some formats and only 15fps. so i need the programm could change the fps speed. can u recommend me some?

Cinelerra seems to be a popular choice.

I have used Kino before and liked it.

From the documentation (i.e. I haven't done this myself) the video export can
use mpeg2enc which allows some specification for the frame rate:

       -F|--frame-rate num

       Set the frame-rate of the output-stream.  By  default,  this  value  is
       inferred  from the input header. Currently only the standard MPEG rates
       are supported.  Eventually more-or-less arbitrary rates will be  possi‐
       ble.
        0 - illegal
        1 - 24000.0/1001.0 (NTSC 3:2 pulldown converted FILM)
        2 - 24.0 (NATIVE FILM)
        3 - 25.0 (PAL/SECAM VIDEO / converted FILM)
        4 - 30000.0/1001.0 (NTSC VIDEO)
        5 - 30.0
        6 - 50.0 (PAL FIELD RATE)
        7 - 60000.0/1001.0 (NTSC FIELD RATE)
        8 - 60.0

This last bit from the man page of mpeg2enc.

cheers, kai

I find Avidemux to be very easy to use for simple tasks.
