Split m2ts based on timecodes

[willjohnson33]

Is it possible to batch cut several parts of a video file based on a bunch of timecodes? These are m2ts videos but I supposed I could convert them if necessary.

The videos are sports videos and I would like to create several clips from each video based on start and stop timecodes.

Example: baseball.m2ts is the source video and I have a stats file that has marked all the singles in it by a start and stop timecode. I would like to cut the baseball.m2ts file into a bunch of clips based on where singles were hit during the game.

Any thoughts on how this can be accomplished would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
William

most ts processing tools (tsremux, tsmuxer & family) can trim any standard TS or M2TS file using time markers (so many seconds from the beginning, or from the end, rounded to IDR frames). It depends now on what do you understand by timecodes (and what kind of timecodes do you have in mind).

Hi there,
I've a similar intent:
I want to cut some parts of a m2ts file ripped from a BD pre recorded video.

The programs you suggest works also if the main m2ts file contains HD audio tracks?


thank you,

In Tsmuxer I only see the ability to manually cut the file and only one at a time. Is there a way input multiple start and start times so that it can be done as a batch process? I can't seem to find a guide to tsmuxer or tsremux anywhere.

Thanks

Hi!

Here's some documentation for tsMuxeR:

thanks so much - it looks like I can do it with a little programming!:)

[actarusfleed]

--cut-start - Trim the beginning of the file. Value should be completed "ms" (the number of milliseconds), "s" (seconds) or "min" (minutes).

--cut-end - Trim the end of the file. Value should be completed "ms" (the number of milliseconds), "s" (seconds) or "min" (minutes)

It seems possibile!
Anyway I do not have any idea about the implementation! :-(

Someone can post an example?

Thank you,
Acta

I have used it a couple times to drop the final logo screen or some such in order to fit a slightly too-long movie onto a disc:

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --custom-chapters=00:00:00.000;00:03:37.134;... --cut-start=0ms --cut-end=7135587ms --vbv-len=500So, --cut-start denotes the beginning of "that which you want to keep" and --cut-end the end of course.

It's up to you to identify the precise milliseconds you want--I expect you will need to make these at I-frames for best results.
