No I'm sorry to say the only tutorial I have for transcode is the man page...but there are several front-ends that make the job easier. A quick "apt-cache search transcode" reveals half a dozen or so under Ubuntu. I'm certain there are just as many for your distro of choice. On another note, I was reading the October issue of LJ (yes, I'm behind) which has an article on KDENLIVE...which is an another Non-Linear Editor for video. You might want to check it out (no personal experience). On Dec 31, 2007 10:48 AM, Vaughn Treude wrote: > Erich Newell wrote: > > I've used Kino on several occasions for exactly this purpose.
