use chapters to split into collections

Sven Hergenhahn — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:40:12 -0000

It would be great if the chapter-marks could also be used to split into collections like the new cutpoints feature (which is a great step, thanks!).

Otherwise, it is not possible to cut a continuous video into chunks without losing a few secs inbetween.

Thanks, Sven

would be nice to have some sort of progress indication during cli mode

Show GOP pictures in separate panel / improve matrix

Florian Kolbe — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 22:54:44 -0000

Sometimes, when cutting out commercials, you still get a couple of unwanted frames because the GOP before the cut position contains these frames (is this description correct?). I was wondering if you'd get better control if we have a panel (say: below the cut panel) that would display the preview frames of the previous, current and following GOP (similar to the preview matrix, but making clear where the GOP boundaries are). One might better choose the cut point if he or she sees the frames contained in the GOP?
(as a hack, I was thinking of copying the CutView along with the logic of CutPanel.updateCutView())

Maybe for engineering efficiency, the following would be feasible: hitting the "cut_scan" button (which starts the matrix) say with a modifier like shift, you would already "zoom in" the preview matrix so that the three GOPs mentioned are shown around the current frame position? Then you would also need a way to highlight the GOPs?

I'll stop here before I write too much because my theory may be all wrong...

I'd be glad to here some feedback.

Keep up the great work!

various output format and logo-filter

Anonymous — Mon, 11 May 2009 10:55:06 -0000

Hi
I use projectX to remove comerial from tv programs that I record. Sometimes I burn them to DVD if I want to keep movie or tv-show.
imput file is mpg, and output is two separated files. I need to join audio and video in to one file using mlpex. it would be great to have possibility to choose output in to single mpeg file.

another very good feature would be possibility to remove logos from video.

thanks for extremely nice application, keep up the good work.

DVR-MS Support

Support for Microsoft's Media Centre format DVR-MS - either by format conversion pre-demultiplexing or direct manipulation would be appreciated.

Refactor code to be more object-oriented, ...

Daniel Ecer — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 14:08:55 -0000

Hi,

The organisation of the code is not bad but it uses far too many statics... I'd change some of these.
To illustrate how it affects the user... try to cut a new collection while the process to demux another collection is running. It could thrown and Exception or just use the wrong data (this is not just a theoretical case, it did happen to me).

For example:
- AudioFormat should be an interface
- have instead AbstractAudioFormat
- all properties must be non-static and either private or protected
- use AudioFormatFactory to create an instance and use that instead
- if you still believe you need to swap the implementation (setNewType) for the same instance create AudioFormatWrapper

(I am happy to provide code examples for this change)

Data or status information should almost always *never* be stored in a static variables.

Without this it is almost impossible to make the application thread-safe. Using objects makes it simple as long as the threads do not use the same instances.

Rewrite of timestamps in cut TS

Anonymous — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:16:47 -0000

I'd love to have ProjectX rewrite the timespams in TS-files, so that I can cut out ads without remultiplexing.

Improved post processing scripts

Anonymous — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 09:31:36 -0000

ProjectX should have a tool to generate AviSynth scripts and an easy way to execute for example ffmpeg to do the encoding task after demuxing.

Output always to one folder

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 05:28:45 -0000

Thank you for a very useful and accurate tool.

I would an option in the CLI to output the output files to a single folder - say C:\demuxed - without the subfolders for each demuxed file. eg: maybe the option could be -noSubFolders

In other words, so all the files end up in one big folder if I process 20 .ts files.

This would make it much easier to for me to load a group of .d2v files into my encoding software in a single drag and drop, rather than going to each subfolder. (I use TMPGenc and I have to use the gui - there is no cli for it).

Support for h.264-Transportstreams

Oliver Japes — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 10:50:27 -0000

We're able to receive and record streams which contain Mpeg-4 (h.264) from german stations ProSieben and Sat1 in HDTV.

Since Project X has always been my favourite tool to cut Mpeg-2-Streams and prepare them for DVD, it would be very cool if it could also support these new transport streams. If needed, I could provide some sample recordings.
