Smart Media Cutter

[Bridgy]

Been pretty quiet in here lately, any new developments to speak of.

I am still on version 2.4.6, no updates for a while.

Hi! I have some life events coming up that force me to take a little bit of break from active feature development. I'm still doing maintenance etc. in the background

2.4.6 has been pretty stable for a lot of people, so I haven't rushed out a new version.
But there a few small bug fixes that I should probably release soon as a minor update.

Working fine for me. Even got used to working with the layout (with some minor UI adjustments). Just the slight issue of Invert still niggles. Maybe a future release might include a shortcut key for this option !!!

Thank you!

No problems m8, i have not been doing much editing myself now that winter is here, i don't get outdoors very often, and the occasional private jobs that i do for clients has also been very quiet too.

A nice addition would be the ability to open files via unc paths as the program cannot currently do this.

Hi everyone, i was revamping 2 of my travel promo videos last night to change the opening titles and maps, so i opened the first file in my SMC 2.4.6 and it would not loading properly, giving me errors, and after a minute or so, it causes my computer to lock up or freeze, my swap usage goes to 100%, and then my screen will go black with just the cursor displayed, and i need to restart the computer to fix it, and it did the same thing with the 2nd file i had to edit.

Just asking if someone could download the 2 files from the links below and run them thru your own SMC and see if they work on your computer.

File 1 is 1080p hevc with framerate of 59.940 @ 1.1gb in size = https://icedrive.net/s/x1v7x2NtFFt4ZjFBix7Sab4fgYtT

File 2 is 1080p hevc with frame rate of 60 @ 395mb in size = https://icedrive.net/s/6SBfi7GhutyGDW3CCxFuTW2SZb5u

SMC still opens and loads my 4k/60p hevc files no problems.

Cheers

This is what i get when trying to load the files.

Also, where can i find a Error Report or Crash Dump File.

[Secoast]

Tested File 2 with the same results. Sound plays, but no video. Doesn't crash my system though, and I can trim the file as normal. Also when I open a second time the messages are not there, but still no video.

Worth mentioning it plays fine in MPC-HC and Avidemux. I also remuxed to MKV in both Avidemux and MKVToolnix to no avail. Definitely an SMC playback issue in my opinion.

[Bridgy]

Thank you for that, both play ok in MPC and VLC here, and i was still able to do the mods to the files using my VRD Pro software.

The computer crash must have been a 1 off as it has not done it again, i have the same results as you got.

I hope the Dev of SMC can test these for me as well.

On another note, i use a tool called SyncBackFree to run my periodic Syncs between my main Files drive onto various backup drives, and also to my IceDrive cloud storage service, and whenever i run my Files Sync to my IceDrive partition, as soon as SyncBackFree gets to the Smart Media Cutter folder to start syncing it, SyncBackFree just locks up and hangs for a long period of time as soon as it starts syncing the JoinSidebar.qmr file inside the SMC folder.

It really is annoying.

skeskinen hasn't been around for a while. Hopefully he is still actively maintaining the project.

Yeah he often has time away from here to focus on other stuff, my issues here are no big deal, the 1080p files that won't load are from 5 years ago that needed new titles, and a few bits cut and added to them, VRD was able to do it because they were done in VRD and they are only 1080p files, not 4k.

The issue i have with SyncBackFree isn't important, i just need to be patient when running my backups to my IceDrive cloud storage partition because of one of the files in the SMC folder.
