Did some forum searching but didn't find an answer so here goes:
My goal is to record video using a Canon Powershot camera, edit the AVI file on my Ubuntu 10.04 computer, then upload the rendered file to Youtube.
Problem is that when I cut the video, the audio is no longer in sync with the video, it's off by about 1-2 seconds. This happens with both Openshot and Pitivi, so I suspect that it's caused by a bug with the codec. (files are AVI with MJPEG codec). After searching launchpad, this is apparently a "known issue". That's great but for now I need a workaround.
I do have an old G4 Powerbook with iMovie HD v6 on it that I can use, but I'd prefer not to because:
1. the PowerPC Mac is much slower than my new dual core laptop
2. iMovie compresses my videos too much so the rendered file is lower quality
3. I simply prefer Openshot to iMovie
Any ideas? I was thinking of preprocessing my AVI files by converting them to another format with a non-buggy codec on linux. I downloaded ffmpeg, but not sure how to use it and what format to use. Would mpeg2 be a safe one to use?
