avi videos drag lag freeze. after splitting with solveigmm video splitter

[ezeht]

hi

i hope this is the right place to post. and i hope you folks can help me out.. these are my topic posts at solveig site.. i will provide any other info you might need.. ive surfed the net and this site some- i can find no answers.. um im not using my plextor on this system but i do have 1.. thanks ..>

my videos lag and drag after splitting using solveigmm avi trimmer either ver. 1.6.804.17 or ver. 1.6.810.31.. i have ver 1.6.804.17 installed now..

i just built this dual core system a week or so ago. and all i do is play fps games and make videos with the latest full retail version of zdsoft game recorder. as best i know. my install is flawless and my simple over clock passes all stress tests etc.. and i added the amd dual core optimizer and the latest ms hot fix. the 1 where you do not have to make manual reg changes etc. but my system did act funny before i installed the hot fix.. just moving my mouse across my desk top it would drag and lag etc.. but the hot fix took care of all of that and what games ive tried works fine. ive been playing farcry2 and making movies with zdsoft for 6 to 10 hours at a time with no problems..

um being this is my main game system. i try to keep my os as lean and clean as possible and i keep good security and the system defraged etc. and while gaming recording or editing splitting videos etc.i have all extra programs turned off. all my security is off other than my fire wall. as like always.. but being a game machine and i do my own builds and cooling and case mods etc. i do not use cool and quiet tho it is installed.. i mean its on in my bios and windows makes ya install it or it will bug ya.. but from start/control panel/power options/ power schemes im set to home/desk office. that is said cool and quite is off etc. and i do not use windows media player.. tho as best i know from updates wmp11 and all updates or security is up to date.. just i have it turned off in system defaults.. i never let it run and set its self up.. so i dont know if digi rights is acting up or what but.. best i know all drivers and chip sets all of it is up to date on my new build..

the program solveig installs and seems to run right.. i tell it not to install the wmp plug in..i dont use wmp and the plug in is just test stuff unless you buy it..so i dont need or want it installed period. but i split my movies and they drag and lag during play back.. i tried wmm it works fine.. i dont like it it changes codec and up sizes my video.. i record to avi v2 512x384 10fps and mp3 audio a 5 minute movie time average of say 54mbs.. but i upload to youtube and some other sites. so i keep my vids under 10 minutes and 100mb size.. but as seen.. time or mbs is my only worries and is why some i have to split.. but wmm will up size to 640x480 and to wmv.. the quality is not bad..but i try to go for 512x384 like i do all in 1 shot because say youtube will reconvert and resize for its default player size that is more small than i record to.. its better to down size than to up size in conversions etc etc..but

ive used solveig on my other system my kn8 and amd4000+ single core system with out problems.. again my system seems to run perfect.. i turn off all un needed back ground stuff. and my system plays games well and zdsoft works fine and windows movie maker too.. so. does solveig just not like some older amd dual core systems.. do i need to lock affinity to 1 core or something..ive read of that but for other things..having to manually lock cores or program incompatibilities is why i waited so long to even bother with multi core systems.. i mean it sounds like more trouble than its worth..i was happy with my single core system..but new games need more powerful hardware. and this dual core system was my next step. its a lil older but more new and powerful than i was using.. so..

what do you think?? is it my old amd dual core system dont like solveig.. is it some simple fix.. or should i try to find another free program just to do simple avi video splits for me..and if so.. do you have any suggestions as to what free program should work right on my amd dual core rig.. and that is clean of junk?

i really like your simple free split program.. and it has made me some nice videos with no loss in quality.. im disabled. i do not work. all i do is play my games sometimes 17 hours a day or even more and make movies.. im sad i cant figure out why it solveig will not work right on this system.. can ya help me out??

thanks.. sorry so long.. and i do not type well- but im trying to give as much info as i can- oh ya-- happy holidays to all

my next post. after i sent them a few original videos.. they have not got back with me yet..>

i think i sent the file right.. i clicked on the 1st of the 2 links for the ftp server thingy.. it opened i guess to your page.. i drag and dropped a folder to your page.. thats the first time i transfered files that way.. so i hope i did it right..

um.. i installed the full version and registered solveigmm video splitter 2.1.810.31 it took me a few minutes to figure out how to use it.. but i got the same thing with it.. the videos drag or lag. like they freeze for sec then play then freeze etc.. i tested with the small vid i sent you i think its just under 2 minutes long.. i deleted the free version and rebooted and i let wmp11 install its self. set it up and then from set programs access and defaults i turned it off again.. it would not be on my system other than windows installs it. but.. i reboot between everything and i defraged and all that good stuff before and after installing the full version of the splitter.. ive done all i know to do

they play fine in the solveig viewer. and they originals play fine on my system.. but after splitting.. the end product drags and lags will not play smoothly.. again if i use the same videos and let wmm convert them to wmv large high quality and to 640x480 the videos play fine no lag etc.. im not sure if maybe solveig is not optimized to work with multi core systems.. or its just a amd dual core system problem..or maybe just my system.. maybe its some hot fix or something that will fix it i dont know.. and is why i posted to your site..you are the video experts.. but

being the videos would not play back right .i tried to change affinity from task manager/processes i right clicked on solveig then set affinity and it was set for both cpu's cpu 0 and cpu 1 i unchecked the box for 1 and tried the split again and same thing.. so i changed to cpu 1 and same thing.. i noticed if i closed the program and restart it. and checked infinity again it was running on both cpu's.. so im not sure how to set affinity from command or what ever so that the program starts up using just 1 core from the jump.. i guess it can be done.but i dont know how to do it..im not use to a dual core system.. and as far as i care this is to much to have to bother with any way.. having to set cores or what ever..ha ha the thing should just work right..

i know ive read amd or maybe all dual core systems can have problems with different programs or games.. i just dont know what to say.. if all else fails.. i do know wmm works and i can use it.. i dont normally have a lot of videos to split so.. and i was using it before i found out about solveig.. i like solveig tho.. it works perfect on my abit kn8 4000+ single core system.. it just will not work on this dual core system.

thanks for your help and kindness..

i make video play throughs of all of my games. and post them on youtube and gamevee etc..

i finished recording farcry- ffow and rtcw- of the 400 or so videos i have to upload. i have about 30 that need to be split they are either over 10 minutes long or 100mb so.

i hope you folks can help me out.. and if i can fix this problem.. i will add it to any help info i provide at other sites for others to use if needed. and i will make mention of this site and your help..

Thanks for the essay ,

What format/codec does your .avi contain? Use mediainfo if you don't know.

You can probably use virtualdub or avidemux (both free) to split your avi's

If it's FRAPS, you definitely can use vdub, but you just have to enable fraps in the ffdshow vfw configuration, set video & audio to direct stream copy, mark in/ mark out to the segments you want and file=>save avi

If you want specific help with solveig, I think they have a support forum

hi- thanks

the info is in my posts.. ya they are long. but i was trying to add as much info as possible.. i use the latest full version of zdsoft game recorder to make my game videos.

i play at and desk top set to 1024x768 75hrz.. i record to mpeg4 avi v2.. 10fps.. 92 -100% quality.. 512x384.. and either 16000 or 41000 mp3 stereo mix audio.

if you like i can use gspot to give info on a vid if needed.. and the very first of my post says.. this is what i posted at solveig site..

thanks

I'm not familiar with zdsoft, but virtualdub should be able to cut it if it's (MS mpeg4 avi v2) and MP3 audio

Same instructions as above: set video & audio to direct stream copy, mark in/mark out (you can use the slider to navigate but use the keyframes to mark the ending cutpoint), file=>save avi

thanks

im not sure i want to mess with vd.. gees i have the retail version of solveig now.. and id pull my hair out trying to learn how to use vd. i read its complicated and then its 50 add ons for it too. i guess i can stay with wmm.. it would be fine if i could set output to 512x384 id be happy with it.. be nice if it did not have to change codec's etc.. and vd might not work right on this dual core system either.. maybe i will give avidemux a try if i cant figure out how to make solvieg work right.. i waited all this time to step up to a dual core system.. because of problems i had read about with program and game incompatibility issues.. i can see now.. i will pull some hair out in the future..

any way.. this is some screens from gspot..>

this is a farcry vid i was trying to split. need to split etc. it was made a month or so ago on my abit kn8.. 4000+.. 2gig ram and my audigy plat pro.. xp pro sp2 dx9c system.. ive changed out some parts to build this dual core system im on now ie vid card and psu etc..>



i made this farcry2 vid on this system.. i dont need to split it its just 1 i was testing solveig with.. and solveig works perfect on my single core rig.. but will not work right on this dual core system..>

i installed the latest version of avidemux 2.4.3 it split my videos fine.. they play with no problems.. but the file info [run time] for all 3 videos is showing the time of the original video.. over 19 minutes etc.. but the videos show the right play time in the player mpc.. just the file info is wrong if i mouse over it on my desk top.

i just started avidemux. top click file and open the vid i wanted.. let it play for a bit in avidemux viewer. then stop. and moved the slider back to the vid start.. and then clicked the start of my vid.. moved the slider and clicked the thing for the end of my vid. and then save.. name fc.avi etc.. the vids finish in a few seconds but they all show the original time..

ive been searching for help. i just get general how to but nothing for trouble shooting problems and this in particular.. any way.. maybe some1 here can help..im going to play with the program and try to figure out how to fix it.. host sites may not take my videos if the time say 19 minutes etc.. so.

i posted here in this thread. im still working on the same problem.. sorry if i should have started another thread being this is another program or problem im working with.. but its all the same to me. i still cant split my avi files right..

thanks..
