Whats Needed

[jhillestad]

I was hoping to find in the custom settings which does not exist is the ability to just pull out certain minutes of a title rather than the entire title. Cinematize has this ability to user select the exact segment of a movie you wish to deal with. Popcorn2 just allows the entire chapter/vob section , I was hoping for finer customization than this... sometimes I just want a few minutes of a particular scene... I was hoping this was meant when they said director's type cutting but clearly its not....

 

Will or can this be added in the future ?

looks like you can include or leave out any title you want which is really cool for including only the extras I want but you can't trim and include only a specific segment in a title. i can't see many people wanting to remove 5 minutes from a movie but I guess it sort of makes sense.

I like to make collections of favorite comedy scenes from movies.

 

To have a collection of scenes on my psp or ipod video is great , I really dont want or need the entire movie or chapter but just the sections I want....

Have you tried MPEG Streamclip? It requires QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component for MPEG-2 playback and conversion but that's $40 cheaper than Cinematize.

I may be looking for a similar solution ..... I've recorded some shows off of TiVo (for personal use, thank you) that I wish to personalize with chapter markers, and to possibly even cut out the commercials.

 

The DVD recorder adds generic chapter markers (every 5-6 minutes or so), but that is not really that helpful.

 

I believe the Streamclip option came up for me before, and I need to look further into it.

There's also a suite of applications from Pixela that might interest you. Pixe VRF Browser EX extracts video recorded by standalone DVD recorders and can cut out commercials. Capty MPEGEdit EX can do frame-accurate cutting as well as join MPEGs and encode AC-3 audio. And CaptyDVD 2 can place specific chapter marks, create motion menus and author the VIDEO_TS folder.

 

Toast 7 and MPEG Streamclip together can do what Pixe VRF Browser does (and sometimes more reliably). If you have those then all you'd need is CaptyDVD 2 because of your desire to place specific chapter markers.

 

Those apps are sold at www.pixela-1.com. Also, CaptyDVD 2 is bundled with the LaCie FastCoder which is sold online at lacie.com.
