Can't find a good splitter for mpg

[SiG357]

I have been trying every splitter I can find. And none will work. I want a VCD compliant file. And one that can keep the audio and video in sync.

I am using a P4 1.4ghz with 384 megs. SCSI 10k Cheetah drives.

You know what? I have been looking around for so long, even the help here was no good enough for such a problem that I encountered myself. The best software I found so far was Cinplayer Editor, it will edit mpg1 files only though, but, this is the best performance beyond mpg editors ever! good luck

Cineplayer Editor (i-Film) is the best simple editor for Mpeg-1 VCD files I have found. It's $49 and it will make correct VCD cuts and joins, and will NOT corrupt the mpeg- stream. Also, it does NOT reencode the files! The only drawback is that you have to cut on an I-frame (or it will find the nearest one). There is no way around this other than reencoding the VCD file.

Try the utilities in TmpgEnc. It is kinda klutzy, but it will work. Also, if you are using TmgEnc to encode your mpegs, you can do a batch job and encode the movie to multiple mpg files, instead of making one huge mpg and trying to split it up later. The audio and video will stay in perfect sync.

Do they have a demo? I would like to try it first to make sure it will work.

Tried it, cuts real fast. But audio is out of sync.

Yeah, a 5 minutes demo version, very impressive!

Try m2-edit, it works great.

OH

Yes, Tmpeg cannot cut VCD files correctly. I get no audio on files cut on Tmpeg.

That's quite an interesting phenomenon with the TMPGEnc cutter... I've literally cut hundreds of VCD compliant MPEGs (PAL) and a handful of NTSC VCD clips too. They all turned out perfectly (no A/V sync problem, no audio problems, etc.) Thus, in my experience, the TMPGEnc cutter is excellent for VCD compliant streams.

However, there has been countless posts of TMPGEnc not cutting properly...

I think it is time to pin this down once and for all... If you've had problems with the TMPGEnc cutter, could you please post on exactly how you made your MPEG and what settings it had.

Regards.

Michael,

I have also had excellent results with TMPGenc for cutting and joining EXCEPT, the resulting files are not compliant.

I use the standard TMPGenc VCD setting and burn the VCD using ULEAD DVD plugin. The plugin will reject any non-compliant file. If I just encode using the standard template, everything is fine. If I cut the file, ULEAD will no longer accept it.

Trap for young players...

When you use the TMPGEnc cutter, you must put the setting on the top to "MPEG-1 Video-CD".

Good luck.

Regards.

I've noticed many times my 'out-of-sync' files (when viewed on PC) wind up in sync on my standalone. The file may seem maybe a half a sec to whole sec out of sych on the PC - generally anything longer than that will not be magically corrected by my standalone

Curious what this phenomenon is all about though...

[SiG357]

I found out my problem was using the ATI player/recorder.
I started using PowerVCR, and their trimmer. No problems now.

Hi you can use this software from MediaSoftware solutions MYFLIX 3.0.Its a very good MPEG Editor and more accurate.

Cheers

Tried it, didn't work either. But thanks though
