Hi Lokster!
You're the man mate, this piece of software is MARVELLOUS! Many many thanks and compliments Laughing

One tiny bug I found: I tried the "split" function and it does split as it says, but it appears to me to produce 5 mins chunks only.
This is because the "Split every >>" value changes the start point for the split (mencoder parameter "-ss"), but not the end point (mencoder parameter "-endpos").

E.g.
For splitting every 10 mins, the code generated is
-ss 0 -endpos 300
-ss 600 -endpos 300
-ss 1200 -endpos 300
...
which produces chunks of 5 minutes (300 seconds) each starting at every 10 minutes (0, 600, 1200 seconds).

I believe that the correct code should be:
-ss 0 -endpos 600
-ss 600 -endpos 600
-ss 1200 -endpos 600
...

Workaround
1. Copy/paste the generated code from viDrop to any text editor.
2. Change the "-endpos 300" to "-endpos 600".
3. Copy the code back in viDrop.
4. Run the batch.

Hope this helps Smile

Why in the Earth would you want to do something like that, in the first place?
And second, in one of my previous posts you can find a link to Mencoder instructions, look for it and have fun...

Best regards.

Virtualdub's AVI files are not the same as those played by cheap mp4 files. It seems to be a variation of xvid. If you want to use virtualdub in order to append files, boost audio gain, HVC, brightness etc., you will still need to run the file through mencoder to produce the correct avi format. This is the same thing I do. I use virtualdub to add filters and such, then run it through AVI converter (based on mencoder).

Arkadash, why do you want to join files? It makes more sense to split large files...

Best regards.

(Cheep, with no downscaling capabilities)Media Players usually work with XVID SP(Standard Profile, with no B-frames, no GMC, QPEL, etc) profile due to the week performance of the processors used whereas latest ones can play XVID ASP(Advanced Standard Profile with all the above).

VDub can be set to output XVID SP .avi files but with ViDrop available for free why bother?...

Hth.

Arkadaş, please leave them as they are, do NOT join them. Separate and smaller files are better managed by any personal media player, don't bother.
If you take a look at the posts from this forum you will notice that splitting the final video files was something requested repeatedly and lokster added that in ver. 0.57.3.

Best regards.

Thank you for relations.. I'll wait new versiyon. Maybe its include join property..

Does anybody have an experience, what are the best settings of the video conversion for RK 2706, 480x272?

I've tried a few, but still get the loss of Audio-Video synchronization from time to time. Probably the quality is to be lowered compared with RK2706, 400x240.

Thanks

Edit: It came back: viDrop opens and immediately closes the console window, when I try to convert videos to the resolution 480x272 in the "Add borders" mode. I don't know what to do. It was already once, then it was corrected itself, now once more ...
