I need a tool for cutting MPEG2 in an MKV

[ndjamena]

The obvious choices are MKVMerge

Hey,

I've been aware of issues in the MPEG 1/2 handling code for quite some time. You've indeed encountered one of its bugs.

The code in question was contributed by a third party who hasn't been active for more than six or seven years now. I've tried to fix the issues a couple of times but to no avail. I've therefore decided not to spend any more time on it, because in the state it is currently in it would probably be less work to rewrite it from scratch than to understand all of its quirks.

Sorry.

Kind regards,
Mosu

and AVIDemux (which crashed when I tried to use it, then crashed again as it was building the crash report). Preferably I'd like a tool that can either cut at chapters or has a command line interface that I can use with Powershell and MKVExtract (chapters), but anything that I can use en masse without dying of frustration would be ok.

>>The Australian Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtle (2012) season 1 DVD releases had the first two episodes combined into one and the title sequences are removed from all but the first episode (and one other?) of each disc. I need to piece them all back together as complete singular titles.

Try remux to a mpg? With for example ffmpeg. And then edit.

I've tried remuxing into an .mpg with FFMPEG but AVIDemux doesn't seem to support AC3 in .mpg. So I did what I usually do when looking for chapters and muxed them into .ts files with TSMuxer. AVIDemux still crashes at the same spot, when moving backwards one frame from one edit to the previous. Cut/Paste doesn't seem to work, I need to copy/paste then go back and delete the original, apparently I need to set the display width manually every time I use the MKV muxer and I'm finding it impossible to cut out everything but the title sequence from an episode without the bloody thing crashing. I've got two episodes done but there's this 'dying of frustration' clause in my original request that this method is failing miserably. 24 episodes to go...

MMG is giving me this message if I try to remux a clip produced by MPEGStreamClip or MPG2Cut2

Command line used:

"C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" --output-charset UTF-8 --identify-for-mmg "F:\Work\Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) - 01x01 - Rise of the Turtles (1).ts"

Output:

Error: Found B frame without second reference in a non closed GOP. Fix the MPEG2 video stream before attempting to multiplex it.

I can't continue with either program until I know what the problem is.
