Cropping Failure

EDIT - title should say Cropping Failure - fat finger syndrome

I've recorded a program that is 10.36GB in size from BBC1 HD

I've set the bookmarks to use to cut out the sections I don't want

When I use the 'crop' function in Webif (recording is 2:29:32 total length, and 1:32:47 (62.05%) when cropped), it reaches 29% and then jumps straight to 100% and gives the following text stating the copybuffer is too small:-

It creates an 'Original' folder and moves the original recording there, but does not leave the cropped version in the folder

Any ideas as to why it's failing?
 
Check again for the cropped version. It can take quite a while for it to be copied. You may just have lost the end.
If that's the case split the recording at halftime, carry out your crop on each half, then rejoin.

You may have hit the buffers. It is a large file.
 
You can always try again. Move the original back to /videos. The bookmarks will still be in place. Rename or delete the old cropped version if it is there. I don't think you can have two files with the same name.

It looks like the copy buffer is meant to hold a 'frame' a small part of the whole file, So the overall file size isn't the problem. However the maximum frames size allowable is 786KB (the largest frame Drutt envisaged was 600KB). Your file is reporting a single frame size of 4.3GB. Drut did say he was looking into handling bigger frames
 
As an update to this thread:-

I have now found out that when it atemps to crop the recording and fails, it puts a copy in to an 'original' folder, but this 'original' recording now becomes unplayable on the Hummy

I get a message on the TV saying that "the channel is scrambled or not available"

Also in Webif, it says the 'original' recording is Decrypted, but it's not
