I hope...

Check out the new "Split" feature too.

Hi Lokster!
You're the man mate, this piece of software is MARVELLOUS! Many many thanks and compliments :lol:


One tiny bug I found: I tried the "split" function and it does split as it says, but it appears to me to produce 5 mins chunks only.
This is because the "Split every >>" value changes the start point for the split (mencoder parameter "-ss"), but not the end point (mencoder parameter "-endpos").

E.g.
For splitting every 10 mins, the code generated is
-ss 0 -endpos 300
-ss 600 -endpos 300
-ss 1200 -endpos 300
...
which produces chunks of 5 minutes (300 seconds) each starting at every 10 minutes (0, 600, 1200 seconds).

I believe that the correct code should be:
-ss 0 -endpos 600
-ss 600 -endpos 600
-ss 1200 -endpos 600
...

Workaround

1. Copy/paste the generated code from viDrop to any text editor.
2. Change the "-endpos 300" to "-endpos 600".
3. Copy the code back in viDrop.
4. Run the batch.

Hope this helps
