Any good mpeg2 editing tools for mac os x?

[Darwin23]

Seem to be having trouble with editing/cutting Dtv S2 mpeg files on my mac. I like using Sizzle for DVD's ,but can't seem to find a good tool for editing out parts of the mpeg stream I don't want on my DVD. i.e HBO "S.O.D" for the first 2min of every show.

Hate to revert to editing on the PC.

Help please. :confused:

That's strange. Every Mac owner I've known insists the editing tools available for the Mac are superior to those for the PC. ;)

tyeditor is fine for gross editing like that. I wouldn't do much more than trimming off the start and finish though, and leave a safety margin of about eight seconds (or trim closer but be prepared to redo occasionally if it cuts too deep).

Got one to work. GOPchop.

A bit odd to use, but you can see video and easy to use GUI.

You'll need Xcode, Fink and X11 as well as mplayer(for video-output for GOPchop)

Works well for Dtivo files.

Hello, I just now joined this list, and would like to get GOPchop installed on my new MacPro. Running OS 10.4.10 and am new to the system.

In my old F-BSD machine, in shell, go to the port, then make install && make clean

Now, on this new mac' I have X-11 installed and running well.

Fink, where do I get that?

M-player: can I used the ported .dmg version?

Can you recommend a tutorial or reference material for installing F-BSD ports or open software on MacPro Intell running OS10.4... ?

Attently yours,
Carmen

There are numerous options today. I like mpegstreamclip, but just do some searching and you'll find others.

thanx Roger

I'm all over it! hopefully I can find something similar to NanoCosmos, or GOPchop: I love the idea of cut and joins without having to re-encode

GUYS: let me know if y'all think of any thing
