Thank you very much for your response. I don't know why I was still on version 6.1.1807.23! After updating to version version 6.1.1807.24
the problem is fixed.

Video Splitter / Bug in latest stable release! (hangs after finish)!

« on: July 27, 2018, 07:16:05 AM »

I have encounter a bug many times now with the latest stable version where SolveigMM after splitting the sequence will hang and remain at 100%.
Only solution is to terminate the software with windows task manager. The result job is perfectly working and job has been done fine! So no harm.
Just little annoying to have to terminate the software manually. This happen to me when editing (cutting parts off) from MP4 videos.

I was wondering if there is a page to access "Version History or Change Log" for beta releases?
It is well mentioned for official releases but could not find this info for beta.

Video Splitter / Re: MKV with VP9 video and Opus audio Crashes Videosplitter

« on: July 07, 2017, 12:15:22 AM »

Hi Maxim,

Here is a link to one video file example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fqmfn9zpbjdbaxx/Juliette%20Armanet%20-%20L%E2%80%99Amour%20en%20Solitaire%20-%20YouTube.MKV?dl=0

I choose a small size video for this example. But any video with VP9 video and Opus audio gives the same problem : "Unable to get source file length"
These MKV files have now become very popular as Youtube is using this compression method.

Hello birdy,

Thank you very much for the explanation, I got your point now.
I'll provide your description to a developers team.

Hello Maxim,

I don't know if you guys realize what you just did! But you just put an end to a lots of premiere user's frustration!
There has been for a long time a disappointment for these users, having to re-encode their videos after a cut.
By adding support for EDL you have responded to my request as now I can choose how to edit my files and use
your software to save it and I'm sure if the premiere community learn about this new feature, they will be running
to your arms with joy

Great job guys! Thanks for the hard work

Hello Maxim,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes I had realized about the timeout in the video preview and this is exactly what to my view, makes the preview function difficult to use.
If what you want to do when cutting (or keeping) parts from a video is to simply remove some commercials then it's (almost) ok to have a basic preview function. But
if you are removing many parts (imagine you are editing an interview and you want to remove all parts where the journalist is asking questions and speaking and you
want to keep only the comments and answers by the guest. Imagine sometimes the journalist will intervene only for few seconds just to say one sentence and in most
cases you will probably even miss this part when seeking and it will not be cut. Or it will take you a long time and lots of effort to find it and finally cut it out).
My suggestion would be to remove the timeout in the seeking function and get a real time preview. If you watch the video I posted you see how smooth the seeking is
and it feels like you are actually watching the video while seeking. This way you don't miss anything and you can edit fast and easy. Please see how the seeking is done
in both directions (forward and backwards) in my video. You just find the scene you are looking to keep or cut in few seconds. And when it comes to higher quality video
content, it would be a good idea to add support for hardware acceleration, cuda etc...

Video Splitter / Seeking in video files ( Just a suggestion) !

« on: June 19, 2017, 07:58:10 AM »

I am newly using SolveigMM Video Splitter and as I have mentioned in the other thread I posted I find this software to be in many ways superior to the other commercial ones.
But by using it I came across one issue that I though I would share here and I believe that fixing this will take the editing experience with this software to a new level. The main
job when editing video content is to seek and find the exact place you want to set you markers. This can take more or less time and become easy or complicated depending on
how the software works.

Seeking in SolveigMM Video Splitter works kind of like Windows Media Player. When using the seekbar with your mouse pulling it back and forth will not show the video content.
Once you release the mouse you will see the content at the location you have positioned the seeker. For this you have to use the keyboard shortcuts (right and left) to go to next
K Frames and then use CNTL right or left to get the exact position. While this behavior is good and enough for a media player, in my view it's not the best for a good editing software.

To explain what I exactly mean, I have uploaded a very short video (30 secs) that shows how the seeking is done in other editing software. https://youtu.be/N821q3H2t9A
I have used adobe premiere for this example, but other more simple software like VideoReDo or ones as simple as virtualdub have the same behavior when seeking video files.

I don't know how complicated it can be to change and add an option for this feature in SolveigMM Video Splitter. But if it can be done, it will certainly be a huge improvement.

Video Splitter / MKV with VP9 video and Opus audio Crashes Videosplitter

« on: June 16, 2017, 11:49:22 PM »

First of all congratulations for this great software. It's very effective and easy to use and supports many file types.
After long search and use of many other software this is THE ONLY ONE you should need to get the job done.

I have encountered a little problem with some MKV files (They have VP9 video and Opus audio). As soon as you open
the file you get an error message from videosplitter: "Unable to get source file length", and it will crash the software.

I was wondering if I was missing a 3rd party codec or if there is anything to be done on my side to fix the problem.
I can upload a sample video for you to test. But as an example any MKV video from youtube will result in the same error
as well. (for your information I am using SolveigMM Video Splitter on Windows10 pro.)

Looking forward to a response from the support team or any user who may have an answer to this
