i am attempting to fix the delay on a dts soundtrack i have. i am new to the 'be' suite of utilities, but from reading the help files and searching, it seems that i have the correct switches for what i am trying to do. i was experimenting around trying to take some time off the beginning of the file with the following command:

besplit -core( -input dts.dts -prefix c:\track -logfile logfile.txt -type dts -ending) -split(0.750)

this resulted in an output file which was to the bit (and duration) identical to the input file, with no time taken off the beginning. just to try to get any splitting of the file, i then tried

besplit ... -split(60)
besplit ... -split(0.000 60)
besplit ... -split(-start 60 -end 120) and
besplit ... -split( -start 60 -end 120 )

each time, these produced a duplicate file of the original with no other errors. i am not trying to resample or transcode the file, but just to clip off a bit at the beginning.

the log file for the last attempt is below

should be :
besplit -core( -input dts.dts -prefix c:\track -logfile logfile.txt -type dts -ending ) -split( 60 120 )
