Video editing/conversion
I'm trying to do a spot of video editing - but all my sources give me video in different containers, using different codecs etc. When I try to n00bishly convert them, I end up with either a gigantic file or fucking piss quality. Are there software that automates it a bit? I use virtualdub, but I don't know what I'm doing. Things like Nero can transcode some things with no loss of quality, so I guess I just don't know the right settings or something.

The easiest way is to spend a bit of money and get commercial DVD authoring software. I'm often amazed at the lengths to which people will go in order to avoid paying for software, futzing around with half-cracked half-assed kludgy solutions so they won't drop some piddly amount like $80 on a piece of commercial software to get the job done.

When I convert movies off my satellite dish to dvd I use a few things
first a JAR program that fixes the headers and combine the files so that it's one mpeg2 (sat encoding). then I use canapolis procoder to convert from sat mpeg to dvd encoding, you would probably find that program handy. then I use dvd tmpgenc to edit out the frames, do the cuts make the menus and generate the file structure. then if needed I use dvd shrink or split the movie into two depending on size and burn with nero. The two programs that you would probably find useful are canapolis procoder 2 and tmpgenc
