Having just recently got a Hauppage pvr-250 working with the Linux drivers, I was also faced with the same problem. I've been using a program called LVE (http://lvempeg.sourceforge.net/) to edit my test and first few real h250 captures that I've made. So far it seems to work quite well, once you get used to the fact that the documentation is sparse (actually, sparse is a bit too generous) and that the mode of operation for mpeg cutting is slightly non-intuitive. However, on a few test cut's I've made with GOPchop and LVE, it seems that LVE outputs a much more correct mpeg stream than GOPchop does. I had mpgtx complain about a GOPchopped mpeg I'd made before I tried LVE, while I've not had anything complain about LVE chopped mpeg files. Also, LVE can output separate video/audio files that can be muxed with mplex from our favorite mjpegtools, which results in much smaller mpeg files than LVE's built in muxer (I don't know why, I just know it does). If you'd like more LVE specific info (i.e., to take advantage of my having overcome the slightly non-intuitive interface already) just say so and we can take that conversation off the list. And, provided that your system is fully large file ready, it should have no difficulty editing the 36GB mpeg file. It's worked for me so far on a 4.8GB dump from the h250 card. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
