Problems with incorrect time length of recording

[boulder]

I have an HD recording (H264) with both an AC3 and MPEG1 audio stream, which does play back alright when viewed normally.
I first tried to cut it with H264TSCutter 111, but this crashed, and while selecting cut points, the video suddenly was reported to be more than 7 hours in length.
I can open it in Videoredo TV Suite H264 latest beta, and save it, but then I simply lose one of both audio streams (the program cannot handle a combination of AC3 and MPEG1 audio streams).
If I open it in TSDoctor and save it to a _fixed file, the problem is not gone, and cutting within the original file gives strange results.
If I put my first cut point at 47 seconds from the start, this is changed into 47 minutes the moment I want to save the file.
I also tried starting from the _fixed file, and then cutting within it, and that seems to work (the length of the file is correct after that), but then the MPEG1 audio stream seems to be gone.

This is probably all caused by a small glitch in the recording.
Is there any way to fix this, as the recording is correct, apart from this annoying behaviour.

Hi,

could you post the log of the _fixed file (first fix)?

Are there timer errors in the log?

Where is the exact problem?

You have a recording of 49 minutes and cuts off 5 seconds at the start and 76 seconds at the end. I can't see any problems in the log, no errors or glitches.

[krebs11]

The file is 2 sec moved to - previous movie, as i cutting to 3 sec at start and not 5 sec at start.

[Cypheros]

OK, your problem is that the cutting position is not accurate. The TS-Doctor aligns the cutting to the next I-frame because cutting at another position would give you picture distorsions. The TS-Doctor can't cut frame accurate because that would need a reencoding of the whole recording or parts of it.

[krebs11]

Program TS-Doctor could have the key for I-frame (+,-) like now +1,-1 frame,the Virtual dub have a key for next key frame. If i this new file again cut-start off 2sec, now its the file ok

[Cypheros]

I working on that function but it's a complex work.
