Previously we looked at how to join several AVI files together, and then how to burn them to a DVD.
Now, let’s suppose that you’ve put all seven episodes of Bloodspell together so far, but would like to remove the credits from in between each episode. First, let’s just say that the folks over at Bloodspell have worked hard on this, so let’s leave in at least one set of credits so they get the recognition they deserve.
Now, our tool. Avidemux – the handy dandy Linux tool for editing videos.
For a rough way to do this (and you can gain more finesse by both practice and reading the manuals) we’ll first want to install Avidemux.
sudo apt-get install avidemux
Then we’ll launch Avidemux pointing at our file. If you’ve strung your Bloodspell AVIs together and named them BloodSpell.avi, it will look like this:
avidemux BloodSpell.avi
Once you’re in avidemux, you’ll notice at the bottom there are two buttons, one marked “A” and the other “B”. These are for setting markers. Scroll throught the first episode until you reach the credits, and click the “A” button. Then scroll through the credits until the first frame of the next episode. Go back one frame and click the “B” button. Then go to the Edit menu and choose “Cut”.
Repeat as desired and save your file. It will take a bit to save it but you should have a playable (and burnable) file in the end.

What if I have different mpegs for different episodes of a season of a show that aren’t streamlined into one file? how would I burn them to a blank dvd so I can watch them on a dvd player, rather than just backing them up on a blank dvd?

Hey Jennifer. First, look here to see how to string video files together:

Hi, i like the idea of this mainly because i am so feed up with windows! big time!
Im dual booting with ubuntu and love the speed, look and feel to it. Is Avidemux still a good choice to edit avi files? im only asking because i see this article is like 4 years old. I will give it a go anyway. Thanks

I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

I can not thank you adequately for the discussions on your web page. I know you’d put a lot of time and effort into all of them and hope you know how much I appreciate it. I hope I’ll do precisely the same man or woman someday.
