I observed the new version cannot display the current frame type (e.g. I-Frame, B-Frame)
but this is no problem on 1.2.4a. is it removed since 1.2.4?

Dear iHD:
Thanks for your concern.

Yes, the Frame Type Display on UI is substituted by standalone stream-fix function.
Since our product treats all frame types equally, we do not think the Frame Type Display to be necessary. What ever the frame type of the cut point, it does not matter.

Dear admin,

Thanks for your reply.
I have another problem.
Can I set the preview screen to disable by default during the conversion screen?

Thanks for your advice.
Since 'preview' does not cost much processing speed, we did not take that into default options.
We will talk to our developers.
This could be changed in the next version.

what is "tme" mode?

Dear Frasier:
Thanks for posting.

'TME Mode' means making output compatible with Total Media Extreme. It treats input media in a special way.
'TME Mode' is slower than then normal mode. We will keep on optimizing its speed.

Congratulations and well done the new functionality.

The 'fix video file' function which scrubs the streams prior to transcoding has worked very well on the dozen or so files I've converted already.

The files where the commercials were edited using a recent version of Smart Cutter have been a perfect one step success.

I did however have 3 older files previously edited using much older versions of Smart Cutter (Dec). As those versions were not as good correcting audio around cut points as the current releases, I was very much been looking forward to this funcionality. The 'fix' function corrected the errors around the edits but on two files delivered initial offsets issues (ie file is correct overall but starts at the wrong point in the video). To fix my transcoded files I've simply remuxed them with modest initial offsets (300-500ms) so problem solved.

Can you pass this observation back to the devopment team. This situation may have been missed or brrn hard to duplicate in testing. Developers usually love the feedback. [BTW I'm happy to send in samples of the fixed and unfixed .m2ts with offset if required for testing.]

Pass on our thanks to the team

Smart Cutter is really the essential tool for working with these TS files.

Dear Battler:
Thank you so much for the active feed back.

This surely is very helpful to our developers. Actually we are considering to setup upload space for users' big sample files. But if the samples are not so big(under 20MB each), could you please just email them to us?
famering@gmail.com or support@fame-ring.com
Thank you.

Please feel free to send us your further advice.

Hi Admin, is it possible to add some fast movement button ? e.g. [-10sec] [-5sec] [-1sec] [+1sec] [+5sec] [+10sec]
