Sample causing smartcutter (Windows) to crash

I have come across a video .ts sample which causes the Windows version of smartcutter to crash when the 'stream fix' option is enabled. I have uploaded the sample to the ftp server. The file is called smartcutter_crash_sample.ts and is in the wavelet sub-directory. To see the crash, load the file, s...

Re: wrong movie length after a cut on hdtv files (h264)

I have written a small program to try to fix the PCRs in a ts file after editing with SmartCutter. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3aOkXPsr837flota0hXM2oxV2tMMVpiX0tEMEx0R3NDVU9yLUowSjZrWTZSSE9QRk5hUTA&usp=sharing It only works with ts files with 188-byte packets but could be modified e...

Re: wrong movie length after a cut on hdtv files (h264)

I have also seen this issue and believe I know one underlying reason - incorrect PCR values are written to the output transport stream file. The issue occurs with the 'fix stream' option both selected and deselected. I have uploaded a sample to the 'wavelet' sub-directory of your FTP server: PCR_tes...

Re: Recent BBC HD ts streams don't display or cut properly

Yes, I have been using v1.8.5 for several days now and it works fine. Although it's shame that the editing jog-wheel has been removed and replaced with the "Detect AD" and "Load EDL" buttons. Couldn't you have kept the wheel and put the buttons somewhere else?

MPEG2 with AR change doesn't display or cut properly

First of all, thanks for the fixes in v1.8.5 (although I miss the jog-wheel which has disappeared). :( I've found a new issue which affects MPEG2 streams in which the Display Aspect Ratio changes in the stream. This is common in UK DVB-S transmissions where the program might have a DAR of 4:3 but th...

Re: Recent BBC HD ts streams don't display or cut properly

I've run my BBCOneHDSample.ts through the H.264 reference decoder. It's written by the Joint Video Team (JVT) of ISO/IEC MPEG & ITU-T VCEG and you can download it from the Heinrich Hertz Institute (http://iphome.hhi.de/suehring/tml) The decoder diagnostic output for the first 100 frames is as fo...

Recent BBC HD ts streams don't display or cut properly

In the 'wavelet' directory on your FTP server I have uploaded 2 sample files: BBCOneHDSample.ts and BBCTwoHDSample.ts These do not display in SmartCutter properly. When trying to navigate through the file using the sliders, or when playing a portion of the file, much of the screen just appears as gr...

Re: Artifacts when cutting new BBC HiDef Material

Thanks for the new version. It now works properly with the test clip I sent you but unfortuantely, on another test clip, the program crashes! Please look at the file Long_GOP_test2.ts in the wavelet directory of the ftp site. If I load it into SmartCutter 1.6.2, set the start point to 00:00:27.12 (i...

Artifacts when cutting new BBC HiDef Material

As you may know, the BBC have recently changed the encoding of their hi-def broadcasts in order to enable occasional transmission of 3D programmes. The frame size has changed from 1440x1080i to 1920x1080i and the GOP length has increased. The GOP length used to be usually 10-12 frames with perhaps t...
