This application is particularly useful for owners of digital MiniDV camera's and others who use the Sony MiniDV format for high quality video production.
'MiniDV Assembler' allows you to append multiple MiniDV files with nice looking transition effects for both audio and video. Multiple transition effects are supported, like cross-fade, zoom, blur and a flash effect.
I created MiniDV Assembler because there are no easy to use video editing applications for Linux yet. Yes, Kino is promising, but its user interface is still a mess and development is slow.
MiniDV Assembler only touches the head and tail parts of the original video files that are needed to create the transition effects. The rest of the video is left untouched, which means zero quality loss.
MiniDV Assembler can also be used to generate video editing scripts that can be run without KDE and Kommander.
Requirements:
* Kommander ( Part of KDEWebDev package, version 3.3.x or newer)
* Imagemagick 6.1 or newer
* SMIL Utils
* Sox
How to Install:
Just unpack the archive and run the 'Installer.kmdr' script. That's it!
Please drop me an e-mail if you experience a problem.

Since I could not get DV Video Assembler to run on my SuSE-10.0, I tried on my SuSE-9.3. I had to compile SMILutils-0.3.0 without the "--with ffpeg" option, as it would not compile with my ffmeg with that option. I have ffmpeg-0.4.9.4pmcvs20060201 from Packman installed.
The DV Video Assembler GUI ran, but when I tried to use it against some mpegs that had ac3 audio, and I obtained the error message:
"Something is wrong with the sound track of video oldcpu-input1.mpg. Failed to detect the correct sampling rate."
I believe this to be a good mpeg (I've successfully used it as an input to other dvd programs such as KDE DVD Author Wizard). The audio is ac3 at bitrate of 224000 bits per sec, 2 channels, and a sampling rate of 48000 Hz.

MPEG is no good for editing, only for playing video. But if you really need to edit MPEG you should either use a big, heavyweight video editor like Cinelerra or convert it to MiniDV first.

I managed to find v.0.30 from here:
http://www.kinodv.org/article/view/70/1/7
But it would not compile under my SuSE-10.0, and would only compile under my SuSE-9.3 if I did not select "--with-ffmpeg" option.
I don't know how important having ./configure --with-ffmpeg=/full/path/to/ffmpeg specified, but I suspect its necessary.
I could not find the v.0.3.1 (nor any newer versions) even though they purportedly exist according to this URL:

You do not need to compile it with --with-ffmpeg or anything, it will work perfectly fine without any special options.

If you use FFMPEG to capture a movie on DVD to a DV file on harddisk, you can even store your DVD movies on MiniDV tapes!
