I tested trimming your video about 5 times and it was successful every time. Have you tried to trim video with PTE on a different computer?
Tom
I suggest to redo it after an uninstall / reinstall. Is there a procedure for doing it completly ie supress manually some files dor directorie ?

Hi Igor,
Back home, I've installed that new version.
First try on the VTS_01_1.mp4 file, worked well (cut from 21:15 to 22:40, adjusted at image level using up and down arrows). I get the exact part of the video I want.
Second try on the same VTS_01_1.mp4 file. Cut from 22:40 to 25:40, adjusted at image level using up and down arrows. Failure. The program ignores the trims and convert the entire file. You will find the screen shots with the link.
I close PTE and relaunch it (to test wether the first cut is right and the failure occurs with the second cut). I put the trims at 22:40 and 25:50. Same problem as préviously, the trims are ignored and the entire video is converted.
The file is here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/klajr67wfk6ly6b/VTS_01_1.mp4?dl=0
Expecting this will help.
Sincerely yours
Hi all,
No answer or comment ?
If sorting out that problem is a great deal, is there an estimated date for a new version of the functionality? -

Try a new test version. It installs as v10.0.2:

Now after trimming of a beginning of a video Sofia.mpg sound works correctly.

I could not say precisely but for me it's seconds. In fact it should be an error in the reading of the position of a flag. For instance, I place the flag at the beginning of a sequence and the cut operated just before the end of the previous sequence. But my main concern is mainly when the flags are ignored and the video is entirely converted, with no cut.

Igor,
Here is a link to a short video clip where I have a problem doing a Convert/Trim. It is a clip that I captured from a Hi8 video tape using a Roxio Capture device. It converts to MPG format. When I try to trim off the initial portion and part of the ending (in a Convert/Trim process), many times the Trim sections remain and it just converts the entire clip, with no Trimming. And, many times when it does manage to Trim the clip, the audio portion is not there. So, it could be just a problem using the Roxio to capture analog video. But just in case you want to see the problem, here is the video clip. Not a big problem for most but it is for me since I have a lot of Hi8 tapes to bring into PTE. If you are curious:

I guess we have a real clue. My context is roughly the same. Video 8 tapes converted to DVD format (I don't know by what tool, but could ask). VOB files converted to MPG files and / or MP4 files (Format Factory software). One difference, I've not observed the loss of the sound track, but I've not really checked

...not accurate trimming may be caused with certain source video formats and video decoders .... Did you observe this problem with trimming of MP4 source video files?
Any conversion of a video file in PTE means certain loss in quality....
Hi Igor,
What I observe occurs with MP4 format and MPG format as well. You underline several questions and you are right:
Trimming not accurate: this is true. In the past I used Pinnacle and the cut was decided at the image level. This is fantastic. But for the present job I do not need that precision and I'm not willing to implement such a sophisticated software for simply cutting pieces of videos dedicated to be integrated in PTE projects. But at the present moment, its a bit more than not very accurate ...
This is not my main concern and I could cope with "not accurate" cuts. The main concern is that I place start and end points, but the video is converted entirely (often, not always) exactly as if the start and end points did not exist.
My second question was about loss in quality. As I just want to cut pieces of videos, it is unusefull to reincode them. As much as the original file is not very good quality, a Video 8 format from the 80's converted to a poor dvd format...

No problem for allowing other members if they are keen for helping. Do I leave the files on dropbox longer?
The problem is that it happens aleatorily. All my first conversions were ok. And now it happens frequently but not everytime. But it happens with different files, all these files having been created by a conversion of converted files. The process is as follow:
Video 8 cartridge tape > dvd format (including .vob file)
Vob file > mpg file using format factory sw
Vob file > mp4 file using format factory sw
mp4 file split using PTE10 on windows 10
On the go, I have a question: is the mp4 file reincoded when split to smaller mp4 files ? If yes, as mp4 is a compressed format, do I have a loss in definition / quality?
Thanks for your help -
Igor,
With the following link you should access a word and pdf document including the hard copies and 3 copies of the file
VTS_01_1.mp4 is the original file I want to split
VTS_01_1 converted.mp4 is a supposedly splitted file which should have met the start and end points. As the file was to be copied without any cut, I stopped the process before the end.
I relaunched the process with the same result (no split). This is VTS_01_1 converted(2).mp4. I notice that it should be only a little part of the original file. In real, it is almost double size compared to the original file
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qg2xv4lluazoy0m/AADLXeNUkK0qZN4SqTmD_iHra?dl=0
Could you please tell me when you have uploaded what you need, in order for me to cancel the files and gain space on my dropbox.
I hope all this will help. Awaiting your answer, I stop trying to cut my videos
Sincerely yours

Igor,
Thanks for your answer. I hasn't been warned about it and I had gone elsewhere in the meantime .... I tried to do the job with another tool (format factory, nice features and nice ergonomy, it's possible to convert one file into splitted files, or several files into several splitted files in one go, but the tool is not precise enough - time stamps are approximatives ...).
I will try again with PTE which would be my best choice. If I encounter problems again, I will make the hard copies you mention. At present, I've just made a new test but couldn't reproduce the error. Goddi says he had problems with files coming from converted Hi8 analog tapes. My files come from converted Video8 analog tapes ... Could it be a clue ???
At the present moment, I have stopped converting due to these problems. I focus on derushing and taking notice of times or sequencesof my numerous dvd's. Therefore it's possible It takes sometime before coming back to you, but the question will remain pending.
Sincerely yours -
I plainly report bugs that make the video converter unusable, at least for me. I want to cut videos. I tried it with mp4 and mpg formats. Same problem. Sometime it works, sometime it blocks when placing the start and end points, sometime it converts the entire video though i placed start and end points. Should I forget the tool and use an other one to do the job ? (PTE 10 running on win 10)

Hi
I've done the uninstall / reinstall and still have the same disfunction. Therefore I switch to VLC for doing the cuts. It's not the perfect tool (not really made for that purpose), but it work and is very simple. I don't want to go with a sophisticated solution
No change for me in using PTE for audiovisual montages, but I will wait for a new release or tool before using this faciliy in PTE
Thanks for help
