Hmmm... i just tested SVN (rev. 125), it doesnt worked to load multible files. Not in command line and not from the GUI, it just indexes the first given and thats the only that is exported, too.

But you do only have to recode a few frames... and its just 10 seconds to extract, just make a small progress-bar while preview gets generated and after that a small popup (with 1/4 size?) and play/stop buttons. On my system it takes just 8 seconds to export a movie cutted to 15min (460MB), 10 seconds should not harm anybody. > > 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.

Ive just tried it, but the differences are so small, i cant remember each detail.

Thats what i ment with only a few pixels, but you are right, the pictures have to be decoded to compare them. Problem with a fingerprint is, that after ads the movie-title or channel logo is shown somewhere in the picture, so the pictures are not 100% equal. A fingerprint has to be calcutated with information only from the center of the screen 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). > > That would be an option.

Nice feature! Unfortunately when i hit "m" he says "No aspect ratio changes detected". Is my recording the problem? The movie is in 16:9, but with black bars, ads are 4:3. But Meta-Info in Konqueror says it is a 4:3 movie. Are the black bars part of my recording? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
