SolveigMM Video Splitter 1.1 Beta (WMV/ASF support)
Dmitry Vergeles:
Hello Robert,
Thank you for warm words of our software and detailed explanation.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Thanks Dmitry for your quick and very informative reply, and thanks for making such a great product. It sure beats editing WMV files with Microsoft movie maker, or even Ulead Videostudio (which is a good product but useless for WMV).
It would be great to use your product on Mpeg 2 when that becomes available. As for mpeg1 editing, this is not very important for me, except I'd like to edit some music video and flim clips that I have legally downloaded from the net, burn them to a dvd and use them for educative purposes in my work. I realise the quality will not be first class, but if I can edit in a relatively lossless way (as Solveig manages to do with WMV files) then I will not lose too much quality even when I burn them to dvd. And anyway, it would be just for teaching use, not for professional distribution. None of my editing is for commercial use. I am just an interested amateur who stumbled, luckily upon your product through reading the excellent videohelp forums.

--- Quote from: "philebus" ---Hi,
I just bought SolveigMM Video Splitter 1.1 beta and have been using it to pretty good effect with WMV files. But I have a few questions which hopefully someone can answer.
First, I assume that it does not edit WMV files with what is called 'frame accuracy', but "k frame accuracy'. This leads me to ask what is a K frame?
Second, and following on from this, when I edit WMV files (or any compatible files for that matter) is it best if I edit at the K-frame points or can I just put the file on play and set the markers where I please?
Third. is this product going to be extended to mpeg1 file splitting as well? I would find that pretty useful.
thanks

Hello philebus,
First of all K Frames are Key ones. Video sequence encoded usually consists of groups of pictures (GOP). GOP consists of Key frame (that is first one in GOP) and delta frames. Key frame is encoded independently as a statical picture but delta frames are predicted from K frame and can't be decoded without K frame.
Thus to provide an user fast and a video quality lossless video trimming, the Video Splitter performs trimming tasks with K Frame accuracy.
That means that all output fragments will be started with K frame.

Actually for an usability the Video Splitter allow an user to set video positions to K Frames Only. That means that if you select fragments by markers you they already will be started with K Frame.
For now, jointly with Elecard, we are preparing MPEG-2 Frame Accuracy Editing solution that will be added as a feature both to a further version of SolveigMM Video Splitter and Elecard XMuxer.
As for MPEG-1 editing we could take such a feature into consideration but could you describe what do you need it for?
