Whats the best program to CLEANLY cut an MPEG2 file? Don't tell me TMPGEnc, it does a terrible job

[drno]

I would also like to know this, I have tried bbmpeg and tmpegenc. The first half is sort of ok, when I play the SVCD on my dvd-player it plays about 20 secs more than it is supposed to, without sound. The second half is out of sync.

What to do?

I use m2edit to cut my mpeg2 files. This program does a great job for me and i don't get what you say you get. give it a try

if your ecoding in tmpge istead of cutting, encode it into 2 parts using the source range and 2 projects in a batch file.

I always use Womble MPEG2VCR.
You can cut after every frame, the others do cutting time based or I-frame based. Thats the only prog I know that can cut MPEG2 that fast.

Personally I prefer "Vitec VIDEO Clip MPEG-2 SE v2.1", which comes along with the DVD-Toolbox.
I use Win2k, so there is no real 2Gig filesize limit.

@sunmiztres: H. is it you ? haven't seen you for a long time on icq... since we traded some psx stuff .

DVTool works pretty good to cut/join MPEGs. Unlike earlier versionos of TMPEGEnc, the output is still VCD compliant (assuming you started with VCD complient MPEGs).

Does anybody have experience w/ M2-edit Pro?
Is it really "the best MPEG-2 editor"?

Thanks.

I have used m2edit for along time to split mpeg2 files and it works great for me. I have never had a problem with it. My files are in sync and It cuts where i tell it to cut.
