Convert Video - possible to skip first couple seconds?
« on: June 08, 2014, 06:50:20 pm »

So, I have discovered that when I convert .ts or .wtv files to .mp4's, sometimes the audio video sync is off, however, if I use handbrake and skip the first few seconds of the video, then it works just fine.  I did some research, and it is typically due to some of the first few frames being corrupted...is it possible to use MC to convert videos but have it skip a few seconds at the beginning of the file?

Also, is it possible to use different compression schemes?  I can get great results (quality and file size) with handbrake, but I only get OK results with MC (either great file size, or good quality...but usually not both)...

No probs, you can use "Playback Range" to do this.  Add the Playback Range Column in your view then enter in a range in the format such as:

     0:10- (for start at 10sec and go to the end), or
     0:10-3:00 (for start at 10sec and go to 3 min)

Then convert your file.  Try a couple to see how it goes.  Rememer to remove these values when you are finished as it will also impact your playback in MC to this range as well.

Thanks
