I've been a long user of Avidemux and have used it to primarily crop 30p videos without re-encoding. This is fast and I don't lose any quality...that was perfect.
My new camera shoots 1080 60i, which I want to use over my old 1080 30p videos.
Avidemux loads the the 60i video just fine and plays it as well perfectly. I can crop segments like usual. I save (copy mode), but the resulting file pauses every second.
Is there a special setting I need to set for 60i video for copy mode? Am I missing something obvious. Do I HAVE to de-interlace and re-enocde? I really don't want to...but if I do, what is the best way to deinterlace and preserve quality?
For reference these are being shot with a Nikon AW120, .mov container and H264 codec. My Avidemux version is 2.6.8. Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide.
"crop" means you want to cut borders of a video. I think what you mean is just removing some sections. I think you may use the wrong container. Try mp4v2.
Yeah, I mean remove sections.
Can you explain how to use a different container?
I've reinstalled Avidemux 2.6.8 so it is fresh "out of the box".
When I open my video and click on "Information" this is what Avidemux tells me:
Codec 4CC: H264
Image Size: 1920 1080
Aspect Ratio: 1:1
Frame Rate: 59.941 FPS
Total Duration: 00:00:12:012
Extra Video Properties
Extra Data Size: 43
...(the rest is audio info)
On the left hand side my settings are:
Video Decoder: Lavcodec
Video Output: Copy
Audio Output: Copy
Output Format: Avi Mixer
I've tried multiple video and they all (after cutting) briefly pause every second of playback.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Set output format to MP4v2 muxer.
