Well, I’ve now come to the Encoders and Converters section of software to put into the new chapter format. After studying these programs, many of them are hybrid video converter/editors. You’ve heard of them: VirtualDub, Avidemux, MPEG Streamclip, AVIedit, AVI Trimmer, etc. These programs can’t really edit the same as Final Cut Pro, but they are not simply converters, like MediaCoder. They can edit, in a way.
I coined a new term for these things, a “ConvEditor” or maybe just “Conveditor”. Maybe this will be a revolutionary new term, starting with little, ol’ me. LOL These programs seem to be everywhere. People actually try to use them for video editing. I know, it’s laughable. I even found what seems to be a popular site that sells VirtualDub on a CD-ROM(?) as the World’s Best Free Video Editor. What a ripoff! I hope few people get suckered into that one.
I also found an old site that sells a manual highlighting all the free software at the beginning of the Nineties. Come on, people. If it’s free software, shouldn’t the reviews/links/info/etc. be free as well? Take this blog for instance…
Section 6 – Converters and “Conveditors” – COMING SOON!!
P.S. I got CamStudio to work, so the Jahshaka tutorials will also be coming soon!
