I'm trying to find alternative program(s) for importing/editing/converting video files from my Sony camcorder. Type of files is - mt2s. Camcorder came with a program called Sony Picture Browser (PMB), which works only in windows. I can not install it with wine, so I searched for alternatives in ubuntu:
VLC - can open files, edit them (brightness, contrast, sharpen,...) - but I'm having trouble with basic editing like cutting and joining files - I cut with option view/advanced controls - and then I can record desired part of file...problem is, that you have to wait all the time it records file...for joining files I haven't found right option
Avidemux - when I try to open mt2s file I get error message "This looks like mpeg. Do you want to index it?"...if I say no, the file doesn't open, if I say yes, there is another message "If the file is using B-frames as reference it can lead to a crash or stuttering..." and it ofers me "safe mode"...if I choose it video is sloow, if I don't, it offer me option Tool/rebuild frame and if I use it, then video is ok...but that is way too complicated (can I get mt2s files to open without that error messages?)
Shotwell - it opens files, but there is no option of cutting/joining files
Any ideas?
