VideoEditor - Edit your recordings within MP! (1 Viewer)

[Paranoid Delusion]

Just tried this to see if its working, as i'm another MCEBuddy user

Just activated plugin in MP Config, did not configure plugin for memcoder exe, as i just wanted to try it as a editor first.
Ran mediaportal\plugins\Video Editor which took me straight to my recording folder, i then chose a 2.06 length file with adverts, manually cut these out and ended up with a filesize 1.32.
Then cut file, which took about 4-5 minutes, played it back ff to various different scenes, and continuity video\audio all the way through edited file.

This is with svn 20143.

Going to do a smaller file with memcoder now, so will update if successful.

Ok, just updated first post with newer version of memcoder, just converted a 35 minute .ts file to divx in 15 mins, with 35% cpu use, so quite impressed with that.

Sorry guys, but besides a skin issue (Aeon Wide), cannot find why it is not working for you, it did take a minute to show my recordings once i openen plugin with MP, but apart from that nice, smooth and quick

Still prefer MCEBuddys x264 recoding though, overall think better quality

While you are testing, don't you feel like confirming the problem I reported in post #275 of this thread? I also made a full bug report in another thread, where I even identified the SVN version when it went wrong. I had some brief comments from Infinityloop and Gemx more than a month ago, but still I cannot see that it is added to the list of issues in mantis.

I think part of the problem is that I downloaded the dvr-mpegcut plugin (2006) not realising that it was included in the SVN (although i don't have the latest yet). I checked the plugins and found the video editor. Although this runs, finds files etc, it does not seem to be able to deal with the .ts files. The editor shows them but the image is static and I cannot run through a file to edit it. Any suggestions?

Not sure what you mean, i can use either the left\right arrows to move back\forward or FF\rwnd, both are working here, is it the fact that it pauses and play has to be activated again, because do not see that as a major problem, its the same behaviour for ff\rewind.
After thinking about it, i take it originally behaved the same as skip, it auto started playing, as we know tsreader works with everything else, it seems the commands from the plugin must at fault, cannot guarantee anything, but will ask if someone could take a look.

finds files etc, it does not seem to be able to deal with the .ts files.

I normally use a mce remote, but tried with keyboard and mouse and ts files are working here, remember this could be down to my system with my codecs (PowerDVD8 & cccp on XPsp3 used for test)

Yip. I find it very frustrating. The way it worked before was much easier for me to seek to the correct position.

Thank you.

Updated mencoder to the version posted, set the path line in MP config. However still culd not select any .ts files for conversion it saw the mpeg ones i had recorded but.ts was not shown ??

What i found was, when i change from the cut function to the mpeg to divx, i could not see my files neither, but if i exited the plugin and went back they now appeared, so it looks like there are 2 possible faults with the plugins behaviour.

Largely inexperience it appears. However your thoughts re a solution have been really helpful and pointed me in the right direction.

I assumed that when using the slider the video would auto play from where ever I stopped. However I tried pushing play on the remote (as your last message suggested) and it works a treat. Have cut a recorded TV from over 1 hour down to 41 minutes. Again thanks for your help. I have the vista mc remote and editing worked fine with it.

My next question is what do you use/recommend to convert from .ts format to another e.g. divx/mpeg and still retain the quality (HD in this case)

You are exactly right I exited and re-entered after selecting compress and the recordings were there unfortunately the compression did not function.
