Video Splitter / Home Portable 7.0.1901.23: occasionally adds "empty space"

« on: April 16, 2019, 03:46:57 PM »

Hi,
v. 7 gives me a minor problem that the previous versions never did:
just now, for example, I had it trim (no inside ads) a 104 minute file to the 87minute movie inside.
The conversion took very long - four to five times what's usual for such a task.
Afterwards the file size had shrunk to the expected value, but the length was now 127 minutes, with "nothing" added at the end.
When I open the file in VLC, it shows a lenght of 2:09 hours, and the movie is all there, but if I click onto any time after 87 minutes, VLC acts as if I had clicked on Stop.



Addendum:

I unearthed version 6 - and if I "feed" it the trimmed file, it shows it as having 87 minutes - no way to remove the end.
If, however, I ask it to trim the 104 minute original, it does so very quickly, and the result is perfect.

Video Splitter / Updating to the current version?

« on: February 02, 2017, 08:57:23 PM »

Hi,

I've been toying with the idea of upgrading from version 5.2 (portable) to the current version (portable).

However, I am (nearly) completely satisfied with 5.2, so that an upgrade would only make sense, if at least Nr. 1 of the two only issues I have with 5.2 have been fixed.

1. In (very roughly) 10% of all cases it is either not possible to cut at all, or (more often) to remove the beginning of a file, because the program stops with an error message that says something like "The start time has been set after the end time".

2. Every now and then (very rough guess: after 20 to 30 cuts) the program insists that it isn't licensed, and a deinstal/reinstal is necessary.

Has either of these problems been fixed?

Regards, Jochen

Video Splitter / Home portable stopped working

« on: January 02, 2016, 03:50:46 AM »

Hi,

some time agp I updated to the lates version of Home Portable.

I  currently have hardly any time to edit any videos, but I'm sure I did at least one right after the update, so it worked then.

Now on vacation I did want to edit some videos - and can't: every video I try (even some that I have already cut with your app) produces the message (translated from German) "file is of unsupported file type or damaged."

What can I do?

Regards,
Jochen


EDIT: I just remembered that the installation file from December 14 is still in my Downloads directory, so I deleted the old Home Portable and reinstalled it; the result was the same - unsupported or damaged source file.

Video Splitter / Strange error message - need help

« on: April 30, 2015, 10:33:56 PM »

Hi,

I am just trying to rid an American movie of its multitude of ad breaks.
As far as I can tell, I did everything as always - progressing through the movie from left to right / start to finish.

However, when I start the cutting, it progresses for three seconds, then I am presented with an error message, which goes something like this (translated from the German localisation): "The image starting time was set after its ending time", and there's an error code

HRESULT:0x80040228


What's to be done (except starting from scratch)?


Regards,

J.K.

Video Splitter / VLC says "Index is missing"; anything to be done about this?

« on: April 05, 2015, 06:46:49 AM »

Hi,

very rarely I get an avi file that works perfectly when opened in VLC, but which "after Solveig" gives out an error message which reads somthing like "avi file's index is broken or missing....."

This happens to those files even if I only open them in the Splitter and tell it to split right away.

Is this a known problem, and if so, is there a solution?


Regards,

Jochen
