Hey there... I just fixed up my version of avidemux to actually work with the nuv files from my pvr350... (did it just this morning..) Its a rather simple patch if folks don't mind recompiling avidemux..
Basicly, there's an assert that causes avidmux to barf when it hits a bad frame.. I editted the code to just skip the frame instead... The code is in gtk_gui.cpp... Find the function "ADM_saveRaw"... Replace the line: ADM_assert (video_body->getFlags (i, &flags)); with: if( video_body->getFlags(i,&flags) == 0 ) continue; and a little further down (same function): replace: ADM_assert (video_body->getFlags (j, &flags)); with: if( video_body->getFlags(j,&flags) == 0 ) continue; After recompiling with those changes, avidemux is happily cutting commericals via nuvexport.. (about 7 recordings done without problems.. I haven't burned to DVD, but quicktime on my mac plays them fine..) --John On Jan 19, 2006, at 3:51 PM, James Nickerson wrote: > On Thursday 19 January 2006 05:53, Kirk Bocek grooved on as follows: >> Wow, what excellent timing!
