need to split m2ts files in 3.5gb intervals

[domerdel]

I'm looking for a program called HDBDSplitGUI but if anyone else knows a better way to split up an m2ts file in any size and quantity, that would be great.

Hi!

Do you just want to physically split the files or do you want to split them into individually PLAYABLE files?

If you just want to split them physically, perform a Googlesearch for "HJSplit.exe"

playable

This programme does not split in front of key frames. So even if the resulting files are playable the first frames before the first key frame in any split clips except the first clip will not be displayed correctly as the decoder has no access to the required video information from the split preceeding key frame and other following last frames of the preceeding clip.

A proper split of mpeg2 and AVC/H.264 video files always has to be done just in front of a key frame. To be even able to properly display the end of a clip if the last frames before a key frame are so called B (bidirectional frames) frames ,then you even have to put the key frame at the end of a clip and again the same key frame at the beginning of the following split off clip. If instead the last frame before the key frame is a so call P frame (which is unidirectional, which means it relies only on preceeding video information) then the following key frame (also called I frame) does not have to be put at the end of this clip.
