Nvidia Shadow Play under Windows 7 splits files at P frames with no option to split at an I frame. I can join the files using avidemux but at the point where the files are split, the joined video will go blank for about half a second. I was told on the Nvidia forums that this is due to Shadow Play splitting the files at a P frame rather than an I frame and that despite the whole GOP being present, the video decoder does not recognize the second half of the GOP on the second file as a continuation of the first half of the GOP present in the first file and hence fails to decode it correctly.
Is there any solution to this?

Use OBS instead, it will make a recorded file as large as you want.
-
Unfortunately OBS, on my system, doesn't seem to be able to record at 60fps (lots of frame drops).
-
no clue what shadow play does, but if if blindly slits files maybe simply appending the split files bit wise works,...
Code:copy /B *.mp4 merged.mp4

Command Prompt?
-> if you don't know your way around the command prompt this is probably not a solution. Then you should better use HSplit (https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/393431-hSplit-small-command-line-tool-that-lets-yo...and-join-files) or similar to test whether a binary copy works with those files.users currently on my ignore list: deadrats, Stears555 -
KarMa - I tried anything with OBS. It just doesn't work properly for me possibly because my CPU is quite old but thanks for the suggestions.
Solur - I tried the command prompt. It did produce a very large file but when played back the length of the file is revealed as that of the first truncated file and when it reaches that time it stops as if the rest of the data isn't there. -
Okay, was worth a try.

My last suggestion with OBS. You are on Windows 7 like me, which is why I have OBS turn off Windows Aero whenever it runs. For whatever reason Windows 7 Aero just simply does not work with OBS and will turn my videos into a glitchy mess. https://obsproject.com/wiki/How-to-enable-or-disable-Aero-in-Windows-7

Thanks KarMa. I will try that tomorrow.
Jagabo, that looks terribly complicated. Demux video and audio, Join video. Join audio. Re Mux. It's really too much work for the amount of files I have to deal with, but thanks for the suggestion. -
I suggest you try it and see if it works. All you have to do is demux a pair of videos, append the two streams, then join them. It will take you a minute or two. If it works you know it can be done, if it doesn't work you probably won't be able to do it with anything without reencoding.
And if it works it can all be done with a batch file. Once you have it working it's even simpler than using a GUI. -
AviDemux doesn't appear to demux correctly. Here's an ffmpeg batch file that will do it.
Code:"g:\program files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%~dpnx1" -vcodec copy -an "%~dpn1.h264"
Use that to produce elementary streams from the first two files of one of your caps. Then use the copy command to append the two:
Code:copy/b video1.h264+video2.h264 appended.h264
-
The video now plays to the end but the first non-I frames still get skipped. Also, I can't re-encode the video since there is no program that will decode the first non-I frame frames. The only thing that used to work was the re-encoding done by YouTube. I would feed the video with the "damaged" frames and the output on YT would be fine (that's why I know the data must still be there. But since their last update this no longer works.
