Movica
Avi editor

Editing AVI files is easily done through VirtualDub but for .wmv and .mpg files the tools are less easily available. Two very good command line tools are available for editing these files viz.

* AsfBin - Very well done editor for Windows media files
* MpgTx - A tool being developed largely for POSIX apps.

Both these applications are freely available for download for non-commercial use.

Movica is a graphical user interface that uses these fine programs to edit movie files. A great deal of emphasis has been placed on keyboard shortcuts to make the job of editing easier.

Briefly what you can do is -
- Select or delete multiple portions from a video file.
- Copy, paste and fine tune the selections.
- Join multiple files togethe

Waveknife
Useful utility when recording music

Ripping CDs onto a computer is simple with Windows Media Player or CDEX as these automatically save separate tracks.

Recording from tape or vinyl record often ends up as one huge audio file with the prospect of spending a lot of time splitting it up. Waveknife is a simple utility for automating this process.

All the options are visible so there are no menus to contend with. There are two sliders for setting how sensitive Waveknife is to breaks in the music, one for volume and the other for length.

The count button performs a 'dry run' of the split process without making any changes. The Split button makes the changes. The original file is not affected in any way and the new files can be created in a separate folder.

Registration required to download this file. A name and email address are required
