basic editing?

[reven]

and to continue the pain in the arse requests...

can you make it so the window title is just "comskip"? so that irremote (hauppauge remote s/w) can work with it.

[erik]

Made som changes in comskip79_12.zip found at link below

I solved the overscan problem, the window title problem, and the empty .txt file problem.

I don't know how to make it overlay or skinned, prefer to make it fullscreen so without the window, then you can put anything in top.
I rather not use VMR7/9 with YUV output.
Anyone there that knows how to create a full screen window without the window makeup? Must be simple.

i dont seem to be able to get the hauppauge remote s/w to work with the comskip window, the only other program i know it has problems with is zoomplayer. anyone figure out how to get it to work?

Hi,
Thanx all, quite some reactions!

1/Erik: no i did not try comskip, Reason: 'fear to drown'. Just completed installing 'my videos' which was the ultimate chalenge. Plugin works fine, but.... Getting the parts from all over the web was far from easy.
Anyway,
Did read the wiki on comskip a few times. Looks like this will indeed help.
Had some spare time between Xmass & Newyear, will try this once i have again a spare day.

2/Editing
I'm lost a bit in the long discussions. 'maybe' i'm off-topic, and its just needed, but here are my 2 cnt's:
-> The 'real simple' popup menu i introduced in the starting mail would already do 99% of the work (i guess), and.....
will be 'wife-proof'.......
The latter being extremely important (to me) since otherwise, i'm stuck with both the dayjob and the video-editing.
So (personally):
-> I would not care to much about 'viewing the full flow'.
-> I would not care on seeing commercial-residuals/non accuracte cuttings.
-> As long as I can reduce a film tot DVD-recordable size, it would be fine to me.
-> As long as i can cleanup my HD its OK.
-> If i REALLY want to have high-quality Video, i will pickup a rental-dvd anyway (but that really never happens).

3/ Just to illustrate my case:
From 'My Videos', i disabled almost all functions (by the way: GREAT that i can do that! now you serve both me and others!).
Main menu:
- Play DVD
- Copy DVD
only
(still figuring out how to remove 'playlist').
after selecting file and pressing 'go':
- demux&burn
- play
only.
So:
NO myDvd
No nothing more.

And then i still have a 20line instruction typed for my wife to 'do it'. (including instruction what type of DVD to buy).

===============
Well,
Thats it from my side.
And,
Please, dont feel any critisism from the above, that is not the intention.
Its just 'my way of using'.
I'm not capable of developing anything of my own, so feel a bit like a lurker.
My next step will be to get comskip to work, and that will already be enough of a challenge for januar!

oh,....
and,......

happy newyear

Stefan

I agree with your proposal for the simple menu.
The only problem is that I can't write GBPVR plugins or real windows applications so the UI for Comskip is very simple. Therefore I was hoping that a plugin writer would standup and creat a plugin that would remote control Comskip to do the real work, eg: doing the things you asked for with a nice menu.
Maybe once you have comskip running you no longer bother about editing because there is nothing left to improve
Actually that's how my family (including wife) appriciates the comskip results, they don't mind the occasional 5 seconds left after removing the commercials

[reven]

im trying to get my videos to
1) call comskip
2) comskip is controlled by remote (with irremote.ini if hauppauge)
3) comskip saves comskip file (might need different exit codes to say "ok" or "cancelled")
4) my videos then runs comclean (or basically what comclean does) and removes commericals.


and on the other note, in the next release of my videos im going to try and provide an installer with all the extra s/w needed to run everything included (excluding dvddecrypter), but im a little worried about the bandwidth...

I'm still trying to figure out how to use comskip with tmpgenc so I can reencode them losslessly to mpgs, then use dr.divx to encode them to avi.

Because I do all of my editing, commercial cutting, and encoding by hand anymore.

i suppose if we use a IVideoPlugin (or whatever the interface is called) and if sub added a few things to the API (force overlay mode, jumptotimeinterval(seconds), videoduration), we could create a interface to create/edit a comskip file within gbpvr itself (ignoring comskip completely).

if sub is willing to add a few methods ill look into creating the plugin/tool itself (make it opensource so every plugin can use it).

[stefan_k]

Still here,

Erik,
I surrender => No comments until i have comskip on.

If you list everything you'd need I'll see if I can do it in the next release if I can find time.
