Utility to trim video files on disk ?????

[Philip]

Well I guess we can give up hop of a HD version. Wish I still knew how to write software... there's NOTHING (that I've found) that does the same thing as SClive. Amazing really, since SO many people need it...

Rick,

Maybe the fact multiple people emailed will encourage him to write a new one. I would venture to say we would all pay again for a full priced version (no free upgrade) to have an HD version. I would pay in a heatbeat....and you can add costs of inflation as well. It was that good of a utility.

The closest I have found is using the free google utility called Picasa. It allows renaming and moving files around but doesn't have any playback controls for quickly scrubbing a clip to see it's content. You have to just sit and watch it if you need to preview the content.

I did mention to him that I'd be glad to buy sclive all over again. In fact I'd I'd pay 3x what I originally paid. It saved sooo much time that it would pay for itself in a month. Hmmm do TGV have an SDK. In know that you can get buy C++ libraries for handling video files..... heck it's probably possible in Visual Basic.. Are there any (ex)programmers like me out there ?? Maybe we could do something open source ??? Anyone interested ????
Rick,

What Edius could do with is a manual split button (as on Scenalyzer) when capturing.

In the meantime there is always "consolidate timeline" which gets rid of all your rubbish... if you are lucky!

The feature of SCLive that I liked more than splitting the scenes with the timecode (which Edius can do) is the way it displayed a thumbnail filmstrip of the contents of your file. I could name all the short clips based on the filmstrip without scrubbing through them all. I could easily spot the clips where I was walking around with the rec button pushed and filming crap. That was the most beneficial feature for me.

The second most beneficial feature of SCLive to me was the ability to rename and move the files around on the drive easily right from the filmstrip interface. It was just a good utility.

I don't need a utility to capture HQ files, Edius does that fine. I need one that will let me easily see contents (like the filmstrip) and catalog/name the files easily. That's all I need.

Rick,

I too am an ex programmer but pretty much don't have a clue anymore when it comes to programming. I would love to volunteer to help but I would be useless at this point. :-(

Newer versions of VideoReDo are supposed to be able to work with HD and TS, I haven't tried the new version yet but the old one worked ok for pulling commercials out of for classroom video mpegs
