I want it, now!

You can't wait patiently and read all the boring documentation first? Bad girl! You can get the program via SVN. Enter on your command prompt: 

svn checkout http://svn.plutz.net/viper/trunk viper

What can it do?

Viper is a video editor written in Python. It uses Mplayer and Mencoder as backends and provides a plattform for edititng and filter plugins. The interface is implemented using Tk.

Due to the use of Mplayer Viper can read virtually any video format and encode to all formats supported by Mencoder and its libraries. Viper uses plugins for building all sorts of Mencoder command lines, so you can exactly choose which container, video and audio format you want to use in a video file as long as a plugin exists to provide an interface for your choice.

See the FeatureList for more information.
