Did you generate a new index for the concatenated mpg?

  That's the MPEG code for program end which indicates - you may have
  already guessed it - the end of a movie. And, of course, dvbcut honors
  this code and stops processing the file(s). If you chop off the last
  four bytes, it should work as expected (until it encounters the next PE
  code).
 
  The question is, how did that happen? A split-file recording should not
  contain PE except at the very end (of the last chunk). It just doesn't
  make sense otherwise.

 Oh, i think it makes very much sense! Because what should be the sense of a
 split-recording at all? I think there can only be two main reasons:
 First if the filesystem can not handle big files (as FAT does) or second
 you want small parts to put the recording parts on CD/DVD. In both cases
 you do not want to connect them to one, so every part needs a PE.
 In my case it was just the standard configuration, i didnt wanted splitting
 at all.

Yeah, but a MPEG transport stream is not meant to have an EOF.
Also the newest Topfield receiver cuts the recorded TS in parts of 1.5GB
(dispite the fact that the interanl disk is a ext3 one, but that's another 
sory) but the parts have no EOF (and also no proprietary headers anymore), 
just pur MPEG TS.

Is it possible that you stored the videos already as MPEG Program Stream and
thats the reason fo the EOF markers and the 650MB chunks?
Maybe you also could store the TS directly without conversion to (splittet) 
PS?

ciao
Ralph

PS: BTW,... did you suceed after chopping off the last 4 bytes?

 Betreff: Re: [DVBCUT-devel] Some ideas for new features

 
 i do not get it work. My movie is named part01.mpg to part 07.mpg.
 Ive tried to start dvbcut with
   
   dvbcut part01.mpg part02.mpg part03.mpg ... part 07.mpg
 

Where do the parts come from? Do they have individual (maybe proprietary) 
headers?
Can mplayer play them if simply concatenating them just with:

cat part01.mpg part02.mpg ... part0t.mpg  newfile.mpg

If so, then I guess DVBcut shouldn't have a problem opening the multiple 
files...
of course you could also opencut newfile.mpg then! ;-) 

 When the programmwindow shows up, it asks where to save the index-file. After 
 that, only part01.mpg gets indexed. So this is the only part that i can cut, 
 too. Same behaviour when i try to add the parts via File-Open.
 

When using the menu/dialog you have to be especially carefull that the order is 
correct!

 When i type
 
   dvbcut -g part01.mpg part02.mpg part03.mpg ...
 
 dvbvut creates an index for part01.mpg and exits. 
 I never got more than one part for cutting in dvbcut.

H,... maybe that feature is really broken??? 
I'll test it later...

 Oh... ok. Thats pretty cool. In that case it would help a lot if you just add 
 some better feature description to the project-page ;-)
 

DVBcut is kind of research-ware, you have to discover some of the features by 
yourself! 
Looking in the config file for instance is a good starting point to find 
hidden features... ;-)
But again,... first you have to find out where it is... ahemmm... 

  [...]
   Are the black bars part of my recording?
 
  I suppose they are, yes. Some stations (at least here in Germany) send
  real 16:9 video, however, and that makes cutting pretty easy.
 
 My recording is from Pro7... it was recorded on a Windows box with DVBViewer.

Apart from own material produced by Pro7, most of the movies come in 16:9 
letterbox
(e.g. in a 4:3 frame with black bars). Of course one could try also to detect 
those
black bars, but that's also very time consuming like the search for similar 
pictures 
black frames before/after adverts or scene changes (BTW, the last can be 
activated in 
the config file for the auto-chapters function). :) 

But the detection of audio chanel changes should be quite fast and easy to 
implement...

 If so, then I guess DVBcut shouldn't have a problem opening the multiple

as i said, the parts are from dvbviewer. What is a proprietary header and how 
do i check if i have one? When i concatenate them with cat i can play the 
result with mplayer. But when i play it with xine, it has one broken frame 
(green artefacts) on the cut-off point of the files.

 But the file should contain the index for part02...part07 as well. That
 is, it should be a lot larger than an index for part01 alone. It's just
 the *message* that is wrong (because that part of dvbcut doesn't deal
 well with multiple filenames).


No, the index is exactly the same size as only for the first part. No matter 
how i generate it. 

 When using the menu/dialog you have to be especially carefull that the
 order is correct!

I would prefer even a wrong order instead of trying for hours to get more then 
one part opened ;-)

Just to clarify things here: It is possible to open more than one mpg-file 
together and cut them as one in dvbcut and export it as one movie, right? Can 
that be deactivated in config, too?
