QuickStream Fix enhancements

[Anonymous]

First off - I have been a long time Womble user, but have had ongoing audio sync problems. Not with your program!

Question:
Now I have a LOT of mpg files that I have to reprocess through your program. I believe that the Quickstream Fix should do it. Is this the same as opening the mpeg file and including the entire file and doing save as? As these files come from my Replay, I want to make sure that the GOP size is reduces to dvd normal and any audio sync problems are removed.

Feature Requests:
Minor change to your QuickStream Fix dialog. When you browse the output input field you should put the input file name in - saves typing.

Another big help would be a batch fix command. Select a group of mpeg files to fix and either output them to a new directory with the same name. I would also like a checkbox to remove the original file if sucessful in the generation - copy one and delete old one (saves disk space). This would REALLY help me as I have all 150+ Stargate episodes to fix. It would let me run this overnight.

Thanks for an awesome program,

Thanks, that is high praise indeed.

Yes, except for one issue. When you open a file, VideoReDo scans at a number of different points in the file to make sure the timestamps are sequential. If they are not, it remembers where the timestamp breaks are and compensates for this dynamically. This works quite well most of the time, but when it doesn't you need to run QSF on the file.

Since there is no random accessing during QSF it bypasses the timestamp compensation logic and therefore is less prone to internal file errors. QSF is most often used when recoding off of DVB or editing DVB VOBS. We should add a QSF capability to batch, and will do so for the next beta. Its pretty easy to do.

[quote]Another big help would be a batch fix command[/quoteUse our batch manager to do this.

First set program mode to "cut" on the Tools>Options>General Page.

Then start the batch manager from the tools menu. Setup your destination file prefix and/or destination folder.

Click on the button to the right of the source file. Select multiple at one time to fix.

Click on save and execute.

By design we don't delete files after processing. If you want to do that and are somewhat handy with programming, all the batch stuff is done via a windows command file that is pretty easy to change. You can also automate the whole process as well. There's a script somewhere on this forum (search for BeyondTV) that automatically does a directory scan of Beyond TV SmartSkip files and feeds them into VideoReDo. Would be very easy to change to MPEG files.
