Hi guys When removing adverts I often like to open the saved mpg and play it near the cut points, to make sure that the 'join' is ok.
To make it easier to locate the joins, I wrote a small script to convert a *.dvbcut control file into a new version with frame numbers re-assigned to match the post-cut operations - I'll post that if anyone is interested. However, this enabled me to make a somewhat unfortunate discovery: the STOP frame is not included in the cut operation. Is this intentional? I have been carefully aligning on the last "interesting" frame of a program - I usually do this by eye, but suppose there is a sequence of black frames containing a fading sound - then I also use the '->|' and '|<-' features to pinpoint the end of the sound (hence my other recent posts). Now I discover that my carefully selected final frame is not being included in the cut! Aaaaargh! (okay okay, 99.99% of the time no-one will notice. But still ...) So: when I check the last frame 'visually' and the '|<-' button also seems to confirm I have *just* the right length of sound - and I make the cut - do I lose a frame's worth of carefully selected sound too? I should have noticed earlier - If START = 0 and STOP=25 then dvbcut confirms "25 pictures have been saved" - but 0 .. 25 is 26 frames. Doh. Is this a feature or a bug?
