Remoover makes 13 hour videos #2

Open c9870 opened 4 years ago

c9870 commented 4 years ago

When using remover it takes a 24 minute video and makes it in to a 13 hour video.

is there a way to get it to stop generating 13 hours?

i can provide files of each if needed.

Hello c9870,

I think the owner of this forum may be on vacation or something.

I don't think that Remoover is actually making a 13 hour video, but it is erroneously setting a video length variable to 13:15:21. It applies this erroneous number to all of my "fixed" videos.

It's not actually a 13 hour "fixed" video because:

1) The "fixed" video file size is not appreciably bigger. For example: I downloaded a 2.5 hour movie of size= 1,090 MB, and after Remoover fixed it, the "fixed" video was= 1,093 MB, a difference of just 3MB. So there is no appreciable difference in size. You can't fit 10.5 hours (13hours-2.5hours) of extra video into that 3MB.

2) When playing the video with the VLC player, it never actually plays anything extra. The video ends when you expect it to end. The above example ended at 2.5 hours, not 13 hours.

the video does open and load and it does play at the original video length. but all programs do think the video is 13 hours long, even if the source is only 24minutes.

Windows Media Player, Windows Movie Maker (from 2012 essentials), and the win10 Movie app will not open the files.

it makes it so VLC is the only thing that will open the file and when VLC does open the file it acts weird as it thinks it is 13 hours long.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Even running the resulting file through Handbrake does not fix the issue. Weird...
