Okay guys, have a (virtual) cigar... ... because multi-file support is there!
It still has some restrictions, however: - "Open recent" only works with single MPEG or project files. Does anyone use this function at all? - "Play" (video) only works within the first file. Audio (2-sec) playing should not be affected. The project (.dvbcut) file format has changed, but dvbcut should recognize the old syntax and automatically convert the file to the new format when you save the project. It doesn't work vice versa, though. In case you're curious, the new format looks like this: <!DOCTYPE dvbcut> <dvbcut> <mpgfile path="/test/multi.ts.aa" /> <mpgfile path="/test/multi.ts.ab" /> <mpgfile path="/test/multi.ts.ac" /> <idxfile path="/test/multi.ts.aa.idx" /> ... </dvbcut> Note that there is only a single index for all input files, named after the first MPEG file by default. You can pass multiple files on the command line, with or without -generateidx. -batch, however, still expects a single .dvbcut file. If you use the "Open" dialog, simply select all the files you want (via Ctrl-Button or Shift-Button) but be extra careful that the files appear in the correct order! I successfully tested dvbcut by splitting MPEG files (both TS and PS) into smaller pieces, process them, and compare the results with those of the original file, processed as a whole. Both the indices and the exported files were bitwise identical. Your mileage may of course vary. Anything else is NOT supported. In particular, you can NOT paste arbitrary input files together with this function. If you try, you may end up with dvbcut grabbing all your RAM and swap before it chokes to death. Or, if you're a little luckier, with a file that has no audio. It *may* work as expected if there are small gaps (e.g. removed commercial breaks) *and* you place a stop marker before and a start marker after each gap. I didn't try that yet, however. Nor did I try cutting VOBs. Don't even think about asking for more right now. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
