No, without AVISynth, it is correct. Unless you cut between the last frame in a GOP and an I-frame, you are not guaranteed that the cut will be precise.mckeed wrote:This isn't true if you use avisynth as it generates all the I-frames on the fly. Even without avisynth this isn't true. Ask all of the people who use crappy DIVX fansubs as a source.kmv wrote:Meaning you can make a cut wherever you want - which is not the case if you edit in MPEG2 (i.e. with the vobs).
What you can do to get around this is index the MPEG file. DVD2AVI does this when it generates project files. mpeg3toc is a GNU/Linux (doesn't run on other Unices all too well afaik) tool which does the same.
