I have been converting the videos I took in Germany into MP4 one after another and making it possible to add an index. I do not edit them with titles or anything like that; I simply divide them into meaningful segments and make them accessible through HTML links. Of course, I do not write the HTML one by one, but generate it programmatically…
The videos taken with the Sanyo Xacti are fine, but those taken with Victor’s Everio require somewhat troublesome processing. This is because the MOD files created by Everio cannot be handled properly directly in QuickTime and the like. I used to process them with ffmpeg and so on, but now I use MPEG Stream Clip. It is convenient because it has presets for iPod and so on.
The procedure I am currently using is:
(1) Use MPEG StreamClip to export the video once to MP4.
(2) Load it into MPEG StreamClip.
(3) At the beginning of the section to be exported, press “i,” and at the end, press “o,”
to specify the clip range.
(4) Trim with Command-T.
(5) Save it under a name using Save As…
(6) Cancel the trimming with “Revert Trimming.”
(7) Create the next selection…
That is it. Trimming and Save As finish in an instant.
This is convenient because the time-consuming export can be done overnight, while the trimming that requires manual work can be done all at once. Incidentally, to handle MPEG2, it is necessary to purchase QuickTime’s MPEG2 component.
For instructions, this site is detailed.
Give it a try.
