I have several cameras that capture multiple viewpoints of the same location. I want to show the views side-by-side so that we can see what happened from all the angles at one time.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 and willing to try anything.

The standard command from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/avconv.1.html shows this:
avconv -i test.avi -c:v libx264 -c:a copy outputfile.mp4
This will re-encode your video to h264 (=AVC) and keep your sound unchanged which is mp3 and completely legal to the standard.
A few other options to consider with this commandline are:
- Tweak the quality of the output video by using the
-bparameter (bitrate) or use Constant Rate Factor (CRF) with something like-crf 22 - Use a libx264 preset such as
-preset veryslowfor improved video
If you use these the options should be placed after -c:v libx264 option...
You may also look at the GUI programs winff and avidemux which will make things less complicated. (also handbrake is a good one but i never came to terms with it )
There is a tool where things are close to what you describe:
dmMediaConverter, where you
- select type of action: Split
- add media
- select type of split: multiple cuts
- set cut point
- add cut point
- run
It is a ffmpeg GUI, shows a terminal while working, outputs as mkv, but it is just splitting and copying I guess, as the time it takes is about the same of copy/pasting the initial full file.
The author of the tool is on askubuntu: mdalacu.
