Problems to cut a big file

[pestekkorna]

excuse me if i ask you something already present on the forum but i hqve problems to cut a 1,8Gb file in 3 parts and i used almost all the programs on the site...
tmpeg worked just for the 1st part... for the 2nd and the 3rd it gva me problems and the other ones just take years to load the movie (it is a mpeg 1)

What kind of problem did TMPGEnc give you with parts 2 & 3?

Have you tried VCDcutter?

Have you checked your original mpg file for errors? TMPGEnc doesn't handle errors very well.

Did you try to cut in the programmes that loaded slowly? If so, what happened?

thank you for answering back

TMPGenc gives me this probmem: when i chose the parts i wish to cut and then i let it do it; it starts to do as for the 1st part but without counting numbers (for the video and the audio) and then, or it freezes and blocks my PC, or all i have is a file of few minutes... but i noticed that when i try to cut the 1st part of the movie, everything works fine...

about vcd cutter...it seemed to be good but it is a limited edition and it can)t cut ,ore than 5 minutes if i don't go wrong...

I didn't check to see if there were errors in ,y mpeg file cause... i don)t know how to do it!!!

Please, can you help me?

If you want, write me back to pestekkorna@tin.it

thank you so much

Your .mpg has junk frames, re-load the entire movie into TMPGEnc to re-encode, but select the source range so that its the start of part 3, this may fix the problems.

KingJohn is probably right. It sounds like you have errors in your source mpg file.

I didn't check to see if there were errors in ,y mpeg file cause... i don)t know how to do it!!!

If you can't get TMPGEnc to fix it, there's a programme called VCDGear that can check for and repair mpg errors. There's likely a link for VCDGear on this site somewhere.

thanks to everyone!!!
i used the vcdgear to repair my mpeg and it told me that there were a lot of errors but after my file was half the original size and i couldn't read it anymore...

now i don't have no more my movie... but thank you the same cause at least i underqstood where the problem was!

thank you and see you next time!

Yes VCDGear does that, it thinks an artifact is a junk frame, Oh and never use it on originals, always make a backup..

oops....

Better to use TMPGEnc
