Version 1.2.7.15 update  Release Date: July 15,  2006


Fixes:


-The bug with Unicode file names e.g. with Chinese or Japanese symbols was fixed. Video Splitter was unable to open/same such files.
-The bug with opening/playing WMV files by Windows Media Player was fixed. After opening, WMP  didn’t start playing of WMV files produced by Video Splitter.

-Some more bugs with WMV video/audio trimming precise were fixed

Features:


-Some Menu, Context Menu and Batch Manager changes were made for GUI simplification.
-"Menu->Output File Name.." was changed to "Save Media File As..". This menu point sets out file name and either starts trimming or add task to batch queue.
-"Context Menu->Save Selected Fragment As..." point was added.  This point operates like "Menu->Output File Name.." but with one fragment only.
-"Invert Time Line Fragments" command automatically adds additional markers if it is necessary.
-For now you can switch off "Markers K Frame Positioning" and "Slider K Frame Positioning"
-Ignoring Trimming Errors" feature was added. (It's used when WM/ASF Reader delivers error "the buffer is not big enough").
-All the features including Task List (batch) file format is documented.

batch file structure

The group element defines a group, the top-level object in a timeline.
Example
<group name="C:\video\result\Noname.avi"> </group>
Attributes: name

track Element
The track element defines a track object (media files  ).

Example
 <track video="1" audio="2" obey_sample_times="0">
 </track>
Attributes: video, audio, obey_sample_times

clip Element
The clip specifies a media source.

Example
<clip src="C:\video\Progulka.avi"  start="00:00:00.00"    stop="00:12:32.00" />
Attributes: src, start, stop

name Attribute
The name attribute specifies output file name with path

video Attribute
The video attribute specifies number of video stream. 0 value means the output file has not to contain a video stream

audio Attribute
The audio attribute specifies number of audio stream. 0 value means the output file has not to contain an audio stream

obey_sample_times Attribute
The obey_sample_times attribute specifies to use alternative synchronization algorithm. 0 value means to use default one.

src Attribute
The src attribute specifies the path name of an input media file

start Attribute
The src attribute specifies start time of a fragment to be saved in output file.

stop Attribute
The src attribute specifies stop time of a fragment to be saved in output file.

Must be a string with the format hh:mm:ss.ff format, where hh = hours, mm = minutes, ss = seconds, and ff = fractions of seconds. Example: 1:04:30.512. Leading units can be omitted. For example, 3:00 (three minutes) and 45 (45 seconds) are both valid.



batch file example:

<timeline>
    <group name="C:\video\result\Noname.avi">
        <track video="1" audio="2" obey_sample_times="0">

            <clip src="C:\video\Progulka.avi"  start="00:00:00.00"    stop="00:12:32.00" />
            <clip src="C:\video\Progulka.avi"  start="00:32:41.00"    stop="00:42:02.00" />
            <clip src="C:\video\Progulka.avi"  start="00:54:09.00"    stop="01:08:51.00" />

        </track>
    </group>
    <group name="C:\video\result\Noname1.avi">
        <track video="0" audio="1" obey_sample_times="1">
            <clip src="C:\video\Microcosmos.avi"  start="00:11:48.08"    stop="00:20:14.52" />
        </track>
    </group>
</timeline>


As result there should be created two files:
1 - C:\video\result\Noname.avi
the file have to consist of three sequential fragments from C:\video\Progulka.avi

2 - C:\video\result\Noname1.avi
the file have to consist of one audio fragment from C:\video\Microcosmos.avi
