I noticed it played perfectly in XBMC anyway. Small tweak to the player and all looks perfect. I asked Solveig support about the issue and they identified a codec playback issue. If I didn’t have the VRD edit to compare with I probably would never have noticed.

But on playback I noticed a minor hesitation from the PC with playback of the SVS edit where the re-encode took place. I didn’t find that quite as easy on the SVS.īoth snipped where I wanted. As VRD shows you each frame when you zoom in (see picture) you can work out which is cut out and which is included. With both solutions it isn’t always totally clear which frame is included or not included at the point of the join. I wonder why? And it never reported a sensible time estimate. So it does something very different to SVS and much slower.

It took about 18 seconds to count down to zero time remaining and then sat there before finally reporting finished at 42 seconds. VRD estimated 4 minutes to start and then rapidly changed it to 1 minute, then to seconds.

SVS took 29 seconds to save the result (and the software correctly estimated and counted down as it did so). This seems to make it slower! I tested with a 2.5Gb file trimming the first 10 frames. VRD does a strange thing when saving file – copies the file to a TMP file and then writes it a second time to produce the final output file. So a tiny amount of re-encoding and the vast majority of the file is not touched. But these products allow you to choose where to cut and cleverly re-encode only the frames necessary to fix to the nearest I frame. Due to the way video is encoded with I frames, B frames and P frames, cuts had previously needed to be on I frame points. So a clear tie there but there is more to it than that. Well, both do the cuts to a single frame. For me, VRD shaded it but if you had never used either I think both would seem fine to you. This is purely a personal preference here. You need to hover over to see the functionality. The buttons to select or reject video segments are thumbs – that makes sense – but not labelled.

When there is plenty of screen space that does not make a lot of sense. The icons are smaller on the SVS than VRD – I prefer larger but that might be due to my eyesight! The control buttons for playback, scroll left/right are also smaller on SVS. I do notice that VRD shows more thumbnails of the video than SVS but again, it is down to preference. It looks different but works in the same sort of way. SVS also has markers and a cut inside or outside system. VRD uses some screen estate for a list of cuts, SVS uses that to show the details of the file opened. Maybe “Trim Inside Markers” and “Trim Outside Markers” would have made more sense. You either use Cut Selection or Trim Unselected.

You simply put markers down and cut points and select to either cut inside or outside of the markers. I had experienced VRD before so it was very easy for me to use it again. This is very much a personal preference choice here. For me there are three key things to look at: VideoReDo addressed that with time stamping support.īut H264 is the challenge today – and one that these products have worked on tackling for some time. The slightest deviation meant the sound went out of sync. Before that I used Womble’s MPEG-VCR for MPEG1 and then MPEG2 but it only worked well on totally standard MPEG2. I confess I have used VRD before (trials some years back and just now). So both would seem perfect for edits of your home movies from your high definition camcorders, phones or your captures from various video sources like set top boxes. Personally I only heard about Solveig’s Video Splitter from Googling for other solutions to the need for frame-precise MPEG2 or H264 video edits but let’s look at Video Splitter and see how it compares.īoth products claim to offer frame accurate editing of the most popularly used video formats (MPEG2, H264 etc). VideoReDo has been around in various forms since 2004.
