Program to Cut the MPEG2 File?

[zagor]

this post is off-topic.

Anyone can tell me a program for to cut the mpeg2 file?

I have used Mpeg2cut v1.15, but when I import the file mpeg in
dvdlab, i choose quick mode without demultiplexing,
then I compile the dvd,
After various minutes dvd-lab tell me the following error:

"The byte alignment is out of the range"

and it makes the vob's file with no audio.

Can anyone help me?

thanks

hum hum... you source seems to be corrupted then.
Edit: I don't know if you need to cut the begining or the end but for the end, dvdlab can do that directly.

[zagor]

ok, with a certain file mpeg i can to use tmpeg,
with other no.

But with this file is ok when I watch them with powerdvd.

It's possible recover this file?

The problem is that a file can be good enought to be read but not to be decoded (analysed if you want) by the author tool. The same if you try to use it as source for reencoding it, that can fail.

Ther problem is... some day ago I asked for a tool to repair mpegs and none was found. The problem was also with a file processed via Mpeg2cut !
Pro gave some hints but as it was not for me I never know if there were usefull. You can find them here :

Another question:

If i choose the option remux in dvd-lab, it makes 2 file,
the video stream .m2v and the audio stream .mpa,
then give me the error.
I think that the problem is in audio stream;
with which program I can to test
the audio stream .mpa ?

thank

you can convert it into wav with besweet for instance, to see if there is an error or if all is okay.

Use DVTool.

It's the best and you don't get possible asynchronisation problems like TMPGEnc gives it.

[Dialhot]

Yes, with the only drawback" DVTool (at least the one I know) is a "general" cutter so :

1/ there is no preview, you cut "by size" and not "by time",
2/ if unlucky you can cut on a non-I frame, and your second part will be definitely corrupted (as video taht does not start with a I-frame is refused by a LOT of application).

But meanwhile I found the soulution : cutterman !

Try it !

You can try dikuncizer, by Kwag. You can find it in DIKO forum. It's fast and good.

Same think VM : it cuts only by size and you do not have any control on the cut point (except that Karl does nice things and hre you will never cut on a not I-frame)

[zagor]

I have used "cuttermaran" and now dvd-lab give me no error.

It's a great program.

thank phil.

If you're on Linux or FreeBSD, you can use this:

You can try ProjectX (link is at doom9.net's download page). It needs Java and can fix some broken mpeg-2's. Alternatively there's always pvastrumento though it's not always a good tool.

Try videoredo at www.videoredo.com. This is the best mpeg editor I've tried. It's not freeware though....
