Capture, Editing and Post Production
Submitted by and on Fri, 2006-04-14 07:52.
There are a large array of FOSS video capture, editing and post-production tools out there. Most of them still need quite a bit of work howeber HyperEngine-AV is one programme that is certainly up to the task. For Windows the programmes require you to use a seperate programme to import your video onto your computer. For Windows and Mac there are however other non-FOSS yet free stable editing programmes such as iMovie and Windows media maker. Editing video on Linux is still quite a difficult process unfortunately.

from a digital camcorder via an IEEE 1394 (widely known as FireWire)
link and stores them into an AVI file. It features autosplit of long
video sequences into several files, and supports saving the data as raw
frames, AVI type 1, AVI type 2, and image files.

VirtualDub is a video
capture/processing utility. It lacks the editing power of a
general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for
fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities
for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with
third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward
processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also
handle sets of BMP images.
