Demo version creates "partially corrupted" MTS files
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:00 am
Hello FameRing support-team,
today, I gave your great AVCHD editor "Smart Cutter for DV and DVB" a try and was fascinated by the ease and well-working functions of the demo version. Calling a Canon Vixia HF-11 my own, I fed some of the camcorder's MTS files to your application and performed some test cuts on I-, P- and B-frames. Although saving worked like a charm and always only re-encoded the initial GOP, there was a strange problem with the exported MTS file: While the original (uncut, directly imported from the camcorder) MTS files all play perfectly in my favorite multimedia player Media Player Classic Home Cinema, the edited ones are treated as a simple audio clip containing only the AC-3 audio track. Although other media players and H.264 editing tools can play / procress the edited file correctly, I still wonder why Media Player Classic Home Cinema just has problem with it. So there must be a slight difference between the original file and the one processed by your AVCHD editor (e.g. different header, missing video info in PMT).
I would love to use your tool for editing my recordings, but this issue just makes me a little uncertain about the compatibility of the generated file with future media player software.
Probably, this particular problem is only present in the demo version as this one always re-rencodes the first GOP to add the watermark. But it would be great if a software engineer could take a look at it as I think it's not a big problem. Naturally, I can provide you a set of test files (originals and edited ones) to allow effective investigation of the issue.
If this problem is solved - or stated nonexistent in the registered version - I will definately buy a copy of the tool as it is very powerful and offers all functions I need while being very easy to use !
Thank you very much for any help already in advance
