[03:13] <DammitJim> any good software to join multiple videos?
[03:22] <ShawnR> in a batch? or just to  toss them together using a gui?
[03:23] <ShawnR> DammitJim: lots of good video editors if you want to do it manually (just dropping two clips in).  is there something specific you are looking for in features?
[03:23] <DammitJim> probably gui since I have to put them in a specific order
[03:23] <DammitJim> I was using openshot, but for some reason it doesn't let me import these MOV or AVi files
[03:23] <ShawnR> i use kdenlive, personally, works fairly well, many features
[03:24] <DammitJim> I was a little taken back when I had to install 81 packages for kdenlive
[03:24] <DammitJim> but I might just give it a shot
[03:24] <ShawnR> openshot is one that is gaining a lot of ground lately
[03:24] <DammitJim> it's close to 100 videos ordered by date taken
[03:24] <DammitJim> I swear I used to be able to use openshot, but something must have happened to my system or something
[03:24] <DammitJim> not sure
[03:24] <ShawnR> kdenlive gives much more in options, but if you are just simply "splicing" together with maybe some music, openshot would be fine
[03:24] <ShawnR> hmm
[03:26] <DammitJim> oh well
[03:26] <DammitJim> I might as well give it a shot
[03:27] <ShawnR> it has a lot of nice features if you also are looking to do more cool features.  it has mult. layers, good title features, etc, quasi- blue/green screen effects
[03:28] <DammitJim> cool cool
[03:30] <DammitJim> ok, that does it
[03:31] <DammitJim> it is saying clip is invalid
[03:31] <DammitJim> probably the same reason why openshot is not liking me
[03:31] <ShawnR> kden or openshot?
[03:31] <DammitJim> both
[03:31] <ShawnR> ah
[03:31] <ShawnR> yeah.  what type of file is it?
[03:31] <DammitJim> so, something is definitely messed up with my system
[03:31] <DammitJim> MOV or AVI from Canon cameras
[03:31] <DammitJim> both formats don't work
[03:31] <DammitJim> interesting... maybe it's the way in which I have been copying them
[03:31] <DammitJim> hhhmmmm
[03:32] <ShawnR> from a DSLR? or is it point n shoot?
[03:32] <DammitJim> both :D
[03:32] <ShawnR> i played with some aftermarket firmware for my canon SD4000 a while ago
[03:32] <DammitJim> I think something is happening when I copy the files from Windows to Linux
[03:32] <ShawnR> plays in windows fine?
[03:33] <ShawnR> can you open the video file in vlc just to view (in linux)?
[03:33] <DammitJim> yup
[03:33] <DammitJim> vlc and xbmc work just fine
[03:34] <DammitJim> but interestingly enough, I cannot add them to proshow gold in my VM
[03:34] <DammitJim> but I can add them to proshow gold on another machine
[03:34] <ShawnR> i dunno, that's really odd.  other than importing th em into proshow gold on another machine, then resaving and then opening THAT file on your linux box.... i'm baffled
[03:35] <DammitJim> yeah, this is weird
[03:35] <DammitJim> we'll see
[03:35] <DammitJim> thanks for the support, though
[03:35] <ShawnR> no problem, always try to help if i can
