Joining files with different bitrates

[amontalenti]

I tried to join two files with different bitrates (one with 4.1 and one with 4, both CBR). The ending file was reported as 4.1, but when I got to the part at the end with 4.0, the video was fine but the audio became just a loop of the first few seconds of the second segment.

I am not sure if this has to do with the different bitrates or with something else entirely. Tell me Dan, how do you handle different bitrate joins, programmatically?

Also, I wanted to mention a smaller bug. I had a batch processing project going, but one of the project files no longer had a proper link to the mpg file in question (it was moved from E:\ to G:\). So, VideoRedo came up asking me to find it myself, which I did. But then, instead of the project file's cuts being executed, the batch program simply wrote a 0Kb file where the output file should have been. You can probably reproduce this bug yourself to see if it exists. It's a bit excessive since stupid users like me shouldn't be using bad project files. Of course, you may consider changing the project file format so that it supports relative paths as well, and defaults to writing those.

p.s. 1.6.0 is awesome. I rely on Videoredo for everyday cutting and editing now. Best program I ever bought.

Different video bits rates shouldn't matter. There's a small bug in 1.6 (already fixed in the next beta) where the bit rate from the start of the file will be used for all encodings. This has now been corrected and the bit rate from the current GOP is used. However, I don't think this is your problem. If you can simulate this behavior with smaller, uploadable files, we'd like to check it out.
