"Cut Editing" Tool in TMPGEnc

[sullen]

I really don't know if anyone is using this, but I just discovered it and would like to let others know about this tool. This showed up in the 2.54 version of TMPGEnc. I tried to do a search, but just got cutting/editing posts. If you use TMPGEnc and do TV shows, this thing is great. Here is my application: I capture TV shows and convert to SVCD. The problem was you had to do a batch encode of all the sections of the show and then join them together. Not with this tool. I can frameserve with Vdub to TMPGEnc and use this tool. What you do is, with version 2.54 or higher, go under Source Range. There you have the whole loaded file. Instead of selecting the parts of the show to encode, select the first section of commercials. Then hit "Cut Editing" and select "Cut Currently Selected Area". This will eliminate the commercials from being in the source range. So just do this will all the commercials and then all you have in the source range is the show! No need to batch encode or split ANY files. It also means no joining.

neat... but at that point why frameserve?

I am not sure I understand what you are asking. I framserve because I capture with Huffy and do segments at 2 gig, so I use VDub to serve the different parts. Like last night, I did Enterprise which ended up being 9 gig total in 5 sections. I do use WinXP and can exceed the usual filesize limit, but prefer to do it in segments.

AviUtil allows segmented avi's. Then you save the project and open the project in TMPGenc as the video and audio source.
