Incompatible cut-times (mpgtx)

Post by Forsaken »

Hi there

I´m trying to use Comskip on my Linux laptop to remove the commertials from my tv records. After some small problems I almost got it working. But for some strange reason the generated videofile_mpgtx.bat contains cutpoints that are not accepted by mpgtx (neither by the windows or the linux version of mpgtx)
For example "[0:00:00-0:01:28] [0:02:21-]" where [0:00:00-0:01:28] causes range [0:00:00-0:01:28] results in invalid [82453674047045631-4738016884020348751] range.
Its easy to solve this problem manually by changing the start point to 0:00:01 but for batch processing this error is very problematic.
I´m trying to find out if its only the start point of 0:00:00 that causes errors and can hopefully just replace those cutpoints by 0:00:01.

Comskip Version: comskip79_144

I got the main problem solved by just using mencoder with the .edl file.
But it would be nice if mpgtx would work bugfree, too ;)

When you confirm its only the start point and when I remember this when doing the next release I will ensure the minimum time given as a parameter to mpgtx is 0:0:01

The next donators build will ensure that instead of
"[0:00:00-0:01:28] [0:02:21-]"
The output will always be
"[-0:01:28] [0:02:21-]"
