HDR Fox T2 File ts Editing

fenlander said:
@MGSteve. Reading your posts I'm prompted to check that you haven't missed the 'Crop' option in webif. It's not perfect, but in terms of cost and effort expended against benefit derived, it still wins in my book. See the 'Editing via Web-If' wiki entry here.

The imperfection is that it loses a few seconds of sound after each cut point. I generally place my resume bookmarks at the beginning of the programme title screen that appears after each ad break. That way, although I do see the title screens, I lose nothing significant from the sound track.

As you say, it's easy to transfer files off the box. What you can do or cannot do with them (I'm referring to HD files here) after you've got them off is another matter. Most editors - and I've tried a lot of them - seem to crash at some point when trying to process Hummy files. The last time I looked at VideoReDo, it was only happy saving HD output as a ts file. Freemake's editor crashes if you move the cut point to the end of the file, and truncates output at random. Handbrake also crashes randomly. The most useful process I've found is the 'Quick stream fix' in VideoReDo. Once a Hummy ts file has been through this clean-up process, the resulting file seems to be acceptable to any of the above editors/transcoders. Unfortunately, to get Quick Stream Fix currently costs $95 and I've been unable to locate any free alternative that does the job.

Hi,

Not read the whole of this thread as just came upon it . . . so apologies if covered before.

I use ProjectX portable to clean up the Humax TS files so that they play properly on certain media players. Might help with your crashing editors ???

I'm a java-free zone, so I'm not keen to go the Project X route at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
 
I was just going to say that

:)

I use ProjectX Portable - No Jave install needed.

Very simple if all you are doing is a PID scan - Pretty quick too.

>> Prepare > PIDFilter(1:1 Copy)

Add your files

I leave the result in the same folder as first file.

I'll give that a try. I just downloaded the 'jave free' portable version but it immediately said it needed a java SDK to run. Not promising. The .net version also declares itself to be java-based, but seems to be working without actually installing java.
 
????

My Laptop it transpires has Java5 installed from new !

The .net version does install without Java though.

Thanks for spotting the oddness !
 
Someone messed up on 0.91.05 Portable package is my guess ! Earlier versions seem to do what they say . . .

Package 0.91.02 Portable does run straight from the .exe - No installation required - Just unzip and double-click the .exe.

.Net version is a proper install with icons etc. without need to install Java.

Other previous version 0.90.4 Compiled with Java - installs like a real program and doesn't require Java to be installed.

Pete
 
I hope we've got some licensed VRD users who can report back on this. Or someone who's never installed the trial - my machine is trial-expired and I doubt I'll be able to activate a new version.

So, works as expected and nice to see the ADTS audio :)

Have you tried any save options other than TS? One of my issues with previous versions was that only TS seemed to work when saving back a Humax file. At least, I'd like to see mp4 working without recoding the video stream.
 
I only ever use it to edit and save as TS and then I use MeGUI to convert to 720p x264 MKV

I'll give it a try with MP4 output and report back

Looking good. How does the editor feel in terms of responsiveness/seek speed etc.? In the past I've used VRD+ to edit SD files from Windows Media Centre and save them as mpg, and the editor is responsive and file save, with no recoding, extremely fast. In comparison, editing HD ts files from the Hummy on VRD H264 has seemed sluggish (even on my i5) and most of the save options, other than ts, just crashed.
 
This sounds like a big step forward. Would a user kindly summarise the overall capabilities of VideoRedo?
 
I don't mind paying decent money for something that does all I am likely to need, and does it well. So, what does it do?
