[megui] Error with audio cutter

[anonova]

i've been trying to remove commericals out of my tv recordings, but I can't get the audio cutter to work. I successfully made the cut file, and then loaded it up into the audio cutter. The queue tabs says everything is done, but I don't get a file. I check the log, and besplit is splitting the wav correctly. It's when it joins them it errors.

"[00:00:00:000] | Input : C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\tmp1A0.tmp
Error: Input file isn't a valid WAVE file"

Any ideas?

Here's the log.

how did you create this wav file ?

Load it through MediaInfo or GSport-like and post the result here...

[anonova]

The program I use to capture the video and audio labels the audio as "WAV (LPCM), 48.0 KHz (WAV / LPCM), 1536 kbps." It captures into an mpg, so I just let the D2V Creator demux it for me.

here's the results for the demuxed wav.

General #0
Complete name : C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch.wav
Format : Wave
Format/Family : RIFF
File size : 349 MiB
PlayTime : 31mn 44s
Bit rate : 1536 Kbps

Audio #0
Codec : PCM
Codec/Family : PCM
Codec/Info : Microsoft PCM
Bit rate : 1536 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 48 KHz
Resolution : 16 bits

And one of the cut wavs besplit returns, which is pretty much the same:

General #0
Complete name : C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_cut_0_01.wav
Format : Wave
Format/Family : RIFF
File size : 78.4 MiB
PlayTime : 7mn 7s
Bit rate : 1536 Kbps

Audio #0
Codec : PCM
Codec/Family : PCM
Codec/Info : Microsoft PCM
Bit rate : 1536 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 48 KHz
Resolution : 16 bits

Probably not useful, but here's a screen shot showing megui is telling me done instead of error.

I seemed to have figured out the problem. Join and those segment lists really lack documentation...

Here's the command I use.

besplit -core( -input "C:\Videos\segments.lst" -prefix "C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_join.wav" -type wav -join)

Looks similar to the one megui uses, right? The only true difference is at the end, I took out the space after -join. It doesn't error out then.

Since I can't see the tmp file megui creates for the segment list (tmp1A0.tmp the last time I tried), I had to make my own segment list file. Relative paths would not work for me. I had to put the full path and filename for it to work.

C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_cut_0_01.wav
C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_cut_0_03.wav
C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_cut_0_05.wav
C:\Videos\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_cut_0_07.wav

Here's a weird thing that also happens that should be taken into consideration. Say you're working in a folder located at C:\Videos\this_folder_has_a_really_really_really_really_long_path\. besplit can't work with paths plus filenames longer than 100 characters! You'll get an error showing it cut off the end.

Error openning Input file : "C:\Videos\this_folder_has_a_really_really_really_really_long_path\football T01 48K 16bit 2ch_cut_0_".
