Hello developers, i just tested your dvbcut program and iam very satisfied with its performance and useability because of the not required demultiplexing and the exponential slider! I used it to cut out ads of a tv recording. There are just some features missing:
First, my recording was cutted in 650MB Parts, so i had 7 different parts to open, save index, look for ads, cut and export them. Result was still 7 parts, now without ads, but very much breakes (because of cutting and file-breakup). Most time took me to select the directorys and filenames. So it would be very nice, to select multible files or at least to add files at the end of the currend opened movie and the possibility to put them all together when the movie gets exported. Maybe a new splitting would be nice, too. Second one is a preview of the cutted movie, just to see what the result will look like. A preview 5 seconds before till 5 seconds after the cut would be enough i think (maybe in a small popup-window?). Third thing is a little tricky: Because i wanded to cut out ads, i was searching for the equal pictures before and after the ads. The view of diff-frames isnt very useful to do that, because you do only have one movie window. Its quiet much work and nearly not possible to get a _real_ good cutting that way. Would it be possible to automate that? You could save last "stop"-frame and search for the next most equal one from that position on. Maybe it would be enough to compare just a few pixels in each I-frame till they are nearly equal to the saved one and compare more pixels to find the most equal picture in the following I-/B-/P-frames then. You could also search for blank ac3-multichannel-audio to detect begin and/or end of ads automatically (to minimize the time for searching). I think yours would be the most important cutting tool all over the world if you would add that feature ;-) Oh, one Question: What is the difference of the four selectable output formats?
