View Full Version : Demux video intended behavior?

When you save a project and demux video, the project file references the original source files. Wouldn't it make more sense to reference to the demuxed video?
My usage of the demux function is to take small clips from the vobs, allowing me to delete the original, larger vobs. Or more commonly, I demux small clips straight from the DVD, without having to rip first (unprotected dvds). Since the project references the original files, I have to load the demuxed video into dgindex and save the project a 2nd time.

Unless there is a reason for this behavior that I don't see, maybe it could be changed in a future version?

It's a hard thing to do that, and since I don't need that functionality myself, you're out of luck. :devil:

Ah really? Oh well, it doesn't take all that long to make a new project file anyways, so no big deal.

The index file contents would be identical except for the file name and the lba locations (and maybe 1 or 2 other things but i dont have them in front of me.) zarxrax - you just need to bone up on c++ and you can add it in.. hehe

i use the demux function but only if i need the actual demuxed video.. if you need to process the video then im not sure why you are doing a demux? just use the original index file.
