This is where Avidemux comes to the rescue. Unfortunately, there are mixed reports of being able to run it under Wine. Despite one of the developers moving to Linux during that time, and another moving to the use of OS-X as his primary OS, Video Redo remains firmly entrenched as a Windows-only application. After only a few passes, the quality of the JPG image starts to noticeably deteriorate, due to recompression artifacts becoming more and more visible.Ī large number of users have been asking the makers of Video Redo for a Linux version of the program for over five years. It's just like if you keep saving the same JPG image over and over again, recompressing it with each pass. Each time a video is re-encoded, more and more details are lost, since the compression algorithm is applied with each re-encoding. This is a huge consideration, since re-encoding the video can result in a loss of quality. Video Redo focused mostly on being able to edit MPEG1 and MPEG2 video files, without re-encoding the output video. Up until very recently, I didn't find anything in Linux that performed in a similar manner. In fact, one of the Windows programs that I still relied on was a video editor called Video Redo. Do you remember how, in Part 1, I talked about some Linux applications that have well-hidden, and often well disguised, features? Well, I found one, that once you figure out how to unleash its capabilities, works as well as (if not better than) anything offered in Windows.

I'm not too sure about you, but I can barely stand to sit through all of the commercials one time, much less multiple times. Once you have finished recording your new video from your TV tuner card, you will most likely want to edit it.
