Sorry, my bad. QtPy is not actually necessary, PyQt5 is and it's supplied
by python-qt5. I've already submitted the correction.

The pkg Requires python3-QtPy, which does not exist in Leap. So Right
now the app can only be installed on TW. I think the build can be
disabled for Leap.

A quick fix for sync problems, should be embedded in future ffmpeg
versions, is to start your ffmpeg command with ffmpeg -fflags genpts

I've had such problems with avidemux 2.6 (aka avidemux 3), too. It does not 
crash, but playing the video afterwards freezes video – not the audio! – at 
the transmission failure. After several minutes of "radio" the video goes on.

avidemux 2.5 lost synchronization of video and audio at that point.

Watching the original stream does only show a flicker at that point.

I'm very interested in finding a solution for it. But I think, this is not a 
packman problem. Maybe it could be solved upstream. Maybe it  can not.

Strangely exactly the same video, just in another container, can be

Without recoding? You use the "copy" codec. Curious!

That's the sync problem I mentioned, I think. I'll try another flavour:

ffmpeg -i "input.mpeg" -copyts  -vcodec copy -acodec copy "output - c.mkv"

Crashes at the same place :-(

I think it is some error in the transmitted stream that makes ffmpeg to 
fail. But that's a completely different issue than vidcutter.


Maybe some specific mail list for ffmpeg?



I think I used this:

ffmpeg -i "input.mpeg" -copyts -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2  -c:v libx264 
-preset ultrafast -vf crop=1920:804:0:138 -c:a copy "output.mkv"


I will try that on this movie and comment back. Without the crop filter,
not needed.


Yes, this one finished correctly, and, vidcutter is able to load it. Now 
I'll try to remove comercials.


I try to use the keyboard cursor, but it is slow: I'm used to 
ctrl-arrows moving the cursor more than using the arrow. Ie, arrow 
speed modifiers. If fact, moving the cursor with the mouse doesn't work 
right, because on release it jumps to a different point.


Letting the movie play advances faster than with the cursor.

Ok, cut points defined... let's convert.
I forgot to see if the cut points can be saved to a file :-?

[...]

Well, it's the only editor that could cope :-))


There is, however, a final problem: it took only one sound track, it 
ignored the second. Typically, movies in Spain come in Spanish and 
English, and I want to keep both languages, obviously. No editor does.


I understand vidcutter uses ffmpeg. If it wrote an ffmpeg script, I 
could adjust the options.


Time to go to their mail list or forum and ask ;-)

MPEG4-AVC in an MPEG-TS-container... Interesting! There is no problem

Yes, that is the problem I was trying to describe.



Very strange & definitely unusable! I don't know what exactly is causing
this weird behaviour of Vidcutter, but it seems to have something to do
with the quite unusual combination of videocodec/format/container.
Fortunately there is a very easy solution to fix this problem - simply
put your videos in an another "container". In my humble opinion mkv
(Matroska) would be a good choice . This can be done with:

- ffmpeg -i clip.mpeg2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy clip.mkv or
- mkvmerge -i clip.mpeg2 -o clip.mpeg2.mkv

Mkvmerge is part of mkvtoolnix and also available with a gui.

The quality of the
video stays exactly the same and process is very fast. Yes, that's
another workaround regarding Vidcutter for you, but at least it gives
you the possibility to edit your videos with a working preview. It is
planned that the next major release of Vidcutter will be using libmpv
instead of the QMediaPlayer/GStreamer and maybe that will solve your
issue. Nonetheless I think you should let the developer know of this
particular problem - just to make sure the issue will be hopefully &
definitely solved in the next releases...


Sure, I'll do.

Those files also have a sync problem, but I have an ffmpeg command that 
corrects it. Let's see if I can find it... It would be another way to 
process with vidcutter, use the already processed stream.


I think I used this:

ffmpeg -i "input.mpeg" -copyts -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2  -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast 
-vf crop=1920:804:0:138 -c:a copy "output.mkv"

I will also try your method, it will process much faster.

Thanks, I'll email you what I have in another post.

The recording software does not allow to record specifying start/stop
times. I have to specify a full program from the index. The thing is
actually recorded at the ISP server, on the cloud. However, with kodi
and a plugin we can make a local copy on the hard disk of those
recordings on the cloud.

From one of those I took a clip:

 dd if=Cine.mpeg of=clip.mpeg2 bs=1M count=5

being at the start of the movie, it is just the commercials. I'll mail
that in an instant.

I guess the easiest way is just to record a "fresh" short clip (trailer

I'm afraid I'm really not much help here, but I can at least confirm
that starting Vidcutter from a terminal with vidcutter mymovie causes
the program to crash. If you provide the full path - for example:
vidcutter /media/VIDEO/mymovie then vidcutter starts and opens the video
correctly. Tried that half a dozen times with various videofiles in the
last minutes, it always worked. Strange, but maybe it is an acceptable
workaround for you till the issue is fixed.


Yes, it is a minor issue and I suppose an easy one to correct.


I've been using the program
a couple of weeks now, but I've never started it via a terminal. Lazy as
I am I just created a custom action for Thunar, so I can simply right
click on a videofile and then open it with vidcutter:

however, I often work out of 'mc' - yes, with videos ;-)



Works fine and of course the classic drag & drop still works too ;-) At
the moment I've no idea what could cause your grey preview window. So
far I've not experienced something like that and I've opened & edited
pretty much all sorts of different videofiles with vidcutter by now.
That even includes some seriously damaged flv-videos Avidemux didn't
like at all. No big issue for Vidcutter to cut out the good parts and
save them correctly. If your video is indeed an MPEG-file, then it
really should be no problem to load and edit them.

Is there any chance that the issue is caused by the videofile itself?
Maybe a broken/corrupt file? Any errors/problems when you play it with
ffplay/MPlayer or open it with Avidemux? Is the preview with Avidemux
also grey and does the same happen with other videos as well?


The video is not broken, but it is indeed peculiar, other tools have 
problems with this source. Not this particular problem, though. ffmpeg 
is actually the best tool to work with it, yes. I may try recoding the 
video first, then try to cut the commercials.


It is a recording from digital tv transmited via cable, mpeg-ts.

Sorry, I really rushed this, I should have tested it more.

Will see what I can do, I've also discovered it was already
in multimedia:apps, will try and unify them.

Hello everybody and first of all let me say a big, big thank you to the 
Packman-Team and especially Luigi Baldoni for adding Vidcutter so 
quickly to the packman-repo and making it easily available for all the 
openSUSE/SUSE-users out there. Thanks a lot for all your efforts and let 
me assure you that they are really appreciated!

That's how it should look like: http://i.imgur.com/7IV5a5m.png (SD; 576i)

Another option and very likely the most  promising is to contact the 
developer (a friendy guy) of Vidcutter directly on github:

In my humble opinion VidCutter would be a great addition for Packman and
a very useful tool and sooner or later maybe even a replacement for the
meanwhile very outdated DVBCut which only works with MPEG2.


Done.


Thank you both, I need such an application :-)

However, it does not work well here.

If on the terminal I do "vidcutter video.mpeg" it crashes:
