Hello.
I am wondering for an explanation on Smart-cutting the .ts stream.
I recently cut a long movie (Notre-dame de Paris) from TNT.
The cut with Smart was no fault, but VLC (the worst player, but good to fail on any errors) found a lenght of 1h instead of 2h10'.
I tried the same cut directly with Ffmpeg, which gave numerous errors and no output.
Finally, I just cut down the same lenght with a Hex editor. This one was OK for all players!!! (including two TNT decoders)
So, my question (almost à philosophic!) is 'Why any cut in the .ts stream by raw mean is correct with the players', when one made by Smart is not. What changes are made that corrupt the stream, get stream loss or time errors?
Thanks for any ideas.
Regards.
