SolveigMM AVI Trimmer / Re: Cannot register SMM_Editengine.dll
« on: October 01, 2014, 03:52:01 AM »
I had the same issue on Windows Server 2008.  I solved it by installing the 'Desktop Experience' feature under the Server Manager tool.  It seems the installer verifies Windows Media Player is installed before it can register that dll.

Hi.  I tried the beta version with GOP mode and it does seem to seek better in vlc now.  However, it still does not play as cleanly as windows media player.  There is a short silence in the audio after the seek before it kicks in when I play in vlc.

I am still waiting for the vendor to respond to your Mainconcept initialization question and will let you know.

I'll try it out but I'm hoping there will be a better solution.  If not, I may have to use GOP accuracy instead.

There is one other thing I noticed when splitting VC1 files.  When I try accuracy mode GOP, the trimmed file plays and seeks fine in windows media player.  When I try to seek using vlc player, it takes a long time for vlc to seek within the file.

Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, the splitter software is installed on a different machine so it only has the default microsoft codecs.  Only the encoding server has the Mainconcept VC1 codecs which is licensed to a vendor.

So it is not possible to partially encode using the default Microsoft VC1 Encoder when the file is encoded using Mainconcept?  Are there other available free VC1 codecs I can use that are compatible with Mainconcept?

I tried creating a more accurate XTL file by saving the project and it produced the same issue using both the visual Splitter and batchsplit tool.

Hi.  I am using version:

Installation version 3. 0. 1204. 17
Version 3. 0. 1204. 23

I tried my test on Windows 7 with media player 12 as well as Windows Server 2008 with media player 11 and both produced the same issue.

I think it has to do with how my start/stop times are specified in the xtl.  In the xtl reference, the stop/stop is in hh:mm:ss.ff format, where hh = hours, mm = minutes, ss = seconds, and ff = fractions of seconds. Example: 1:04:30.512.

When I specify the fractions greater than 0, the cuts become more distorted where as if I specified .00 fractions, it is less noticeable.

Here are my test files:

Thanks.

Video Splitter / Frame accuracy trim on WMV shows artifacts
« on: May 16, 2012, 05:53:49 AM »
I'm using the batchsplit command tool to trim a wmv vc1 and I've noticed there are artifacts at the point of the cut when I specify the attribute accuracy="frame" in the xtl.  I was wondering if this is normal due to cutting at a non keyframe.  When I trim an mp4 avc file instead, there are no artifacts and seems to be frame accurate.  I know I can use GOP accuracy on the wmv but I prefer frame with no artifacts if possible.

Also, how come the attribute 'accuracy' for the track element in the xtl is not documented?  Are there other attributes not documented?

Thanks.
