What software program can be used to edit DivX AVI files? I need to edit offensive language, etc. out of the movie so I need to edit at the frame level. Any suggestions? (I was using MovieStar 5, but it cannot handle the DivX AVI files correctly - am not sure why that is happening).

Thank you,
Bob

What you want to do sounds like you you need pro software (ie: you will have to buy it). No free software allow to edit frames easily, plus you will have to work in uncompressed etc. Possible options
1) Cut down the frames (of the whole movie, but lose a lot of picture)
2) Cut up the movie into pieces and then edit the individual pieces as uncompressed bmp sequences, edit them then reencode, but only the offensive parts, leave parts without offensive in their original state or lastly
3) Introduce (whoever is going to watch the movie) to the real world and leave the movie as it is Ned Flanders.

I had pulled this in through Dazzle from a VHS (and was able to edit frame by frame through MovieStar 5) but the video quality was not a good as it could be. After ripping the DVD and using DivX 5, the AVI file looks great (quality wise) but I need to edit again. Movie Star (for whatever reason - I've tried both 24 fps and 30 fps versions of DivX) doesn't see every frame -- it jumps from picture to picture (while the audio continues to play correctly) and I've seen that in some other demos I've downloaded. I'm just trying to understand what's going on and the best way to work it out (I may have to use the Dazzle import again using the DVD instead of the VHS tape).

Is there a way to uncompress the DivX AVI file(without loosing the quality)? Maybe that's why MovieStar can't handle it. (I'd probably have to split it up because of file size.)

Thank you, Bob

If you are only editing out cusswords, why not take the mp3/wav/ect that was taken from the movie, before it is binded witht he .avi/divx file and edit with something like sound forge (making certain to keep the length of the clip, so the syncing remains the same)

That's a good idea, but I was also editing out portions of the video. I think the compression may be part of the problem I'm having -- at least I'll be looking into it.

Thank you,
Bob

Forget it, there is no way you can do it without losing quality.

is it possible that the loss is negligible? or at least for his purpose?
