The world's first H.264 AVCHD accurate cutter without re-encoding!
Smart Cutter and Mate for DV and DVB.
Smart products manages, splits, joins movies from DV Camcorder and DVB HD PVR.
What does the new 'Fix Video File' button do and are there any tricks in how we set options or otherwise?
I know it reads and writes the file back more slowly than a standard save so its presumably is doing something.
Since all the all saved files are the same size I'm guessing its not touching the streams.
I've now converted another dozen old edited .m2ts files (ie with commercial removed by older version of Smart Cutter) and found I've still got audio snc problems at every commercial edit in every file. To get things back in sync I've got to manually trim the audio at every point and remux the final .mp4.
Was I nieve in thinking the functionality that we waited weeks for isn't fixing underlying problems such as this?

'Fix Video File' is reading in and fixing the errors in the stream and writes it back into disk. Setting in options dialog does not affect this stand-alone operation.

Yes, the file size will remain the same. But the false time codes and control words in the stream(causing a/v in-sync) were fixed. Since these time codes and control words are in fixed size, the physical file size will not change.

This stand-alone function was just designed for such kind of problems. Could you please check and tell us the creation date of these files?
Thank you.
The .m2ts files which are not being corrected by "Fix Video File" were edited with Smart Cutter in Dec/Jan.
This was the version prior to the update to Smart Cutter which has better audio at cuts.
I've held back converting many of these files back waiting for this mod so a little frustrated.
I'll email you an example from files where the advertisments were removed. The files play properly as .m2ts but don't convert correctly leaving a 500ms or there abouts sync error in the converted files.
1.2.5's "Fix Video File" function still doesn't fix the two .m2ts files I sent in the last week.
(Initial errors requiring total offset and old commercial edits requiring correction)
Any word from the developers if and when they will get to this matter
Any progress with your review into why the 2 sets of files I sent you 2 weeks ago aren't fixed by the new "Fix Video File" routine?
Both sets of files had sync problems caused by earlier versions of smart cutter used to edit Huppauge HD PVR recordings.
I'd like to transcode quite a few of these files and rather not correct the audio manually. Each has 4 or 5 points where I've previously cut commercials requiring correction.

We think we have located the reason.
The reason should be the audio time code gap.
We have completed dozens of tests, removing the gap manually, which improved the output a/v sync vastly.
We still need some time to confirm this conclusion. More tests will be taken.
In the mean time, the fix version for such kind of gap is being constructed.
We will keep you posted as we get a new version for this.
