Hello,
cutting a TS recording, where two cut points are joined, always leads to some artifacts at this join when playing the cutted result.
When VDR cuts only at I-Frames, shouldn't the cut point be unnoticeable in the output?
Checking the cutted result with TS-Doctor shows a bunch of errors, while the original recording contained none.
Is this an issue with the way VDR cut's recordings or is there simply no clean way to cut TS recordings without re-encoding them?
BR,
Tobias
This is not a new issue and is true for all types of recordings.
Not far ago I did some test on encoding quite old vdr-recordings (saved uncut) with x264 and cutting with recent vdr. The result was a muted movie after the first joinpoint. May be x264 is too restrictive, don't know - but showed, that the cutted result is not conforming to standards (at least the standards, x264 expects).
For me, the only acceptable result is using projectx for cutting SD-recordings (no matter what format). Luckily I don't have HD-recordings with intersecting comercials yet, so cutting HD-recordings without joinpoints using vdr is acceptable.
kind regards
Gero
