What I'm really looking for is a simple tool to clean up the videos I get from my digital camera. They are encoded with mjpeg which makes them mighty large compared to simple formats. Along with that I frequently need to reorient videos from my camera.

Just want something with an orientation switch and a "Go" button. Going to check out these two apps.

@shredwheat
I am the author of Transmageddon, if you file a bug attaching a small video or explain what you need I could probably add it quickly. I assume what you need is a way to rotate the video around and we got a plugin called videoflip in GStreamer I can use for that.

I would like to see two features:

  1. rotate/recode for videos from the photo camera
  2. grab from DVD with selection of language(s) and subtitle(s)

(Btw. I built an Arista .deb for Debian sid, but I needed the "really-bad" gstreamer plugins from debian-multimedia.org. The "good, bad and ugly" from main are not enough.)
