What's up, I log on to your new stuff on a regular basis.
Your writing style is awesome, keep up the good work!

Dear Olga,

I purchased this for Euro 7.99 last night using paypal and up till now my order has not been verified by Digital River - share it. Is there anything you can do to get me my confirmation email with the paid licence key? Meanwhile, I have no choice but to install this GAOTD free version first, just in case...

Late to the party, but if anybody's still hesitating about getting this program, don't. I've been using it for years, on a near daily basis. Over that time, I've had several conversations with Olga, and have always been extremely satisfied with the support provided. They provide regular updates, too. Can't endorse it enough.

No problem loading and running on 64-bit Win 7 system.
The program worked quickly and accurately to cut last 12 minutes out of a 2hr 12 min
MPG2 video. Definitely a keeper.
Will probably buy the $10 uprade.

I very seldom comment but.............

Must say I was pleasantly surprised and this came at a fortuitous time as I am in the process of copying news footage of the recent cyclone Marcia in North Queensland for friends up there that have had no access to any media of any sort since the event.

Does exactly what is says and I was more than happy to take advantage of the Au $12 offer for the slightly uprated version. I may not "need" the extra features as such but when a quality product is offered I have no hesitation in rewarding the company involved with a token purchase.

No doubt it will come in handy in the future for removing all the ad's in the downloaded videos I occasionally get off certain sites.

A big thumbs up from me.

But I do totally agree with XP-Man...... I too am not a spring chicken and adjustable font sizes would be a excellent addition.

I wonder

Why todays GAOTD version of VSHE cannot be installed as Portable Version as it is possible
in TRIAL web VSHE version?

I see some minor differences in building version but GAOTD installer is less functional.
It pushes me to check why/if you know what Kris Kaspersky and Skylarov brothers mean ;-) /.

Anyway thanks for opportunity :D

Thank you, Solveig MM, for letting me try this program.

I uninstalled it again, though, because it was far too complex for me. I'm perfectly fine with your freeware AVI Trimmer + MKV 2:
http://www.solveigmm.com/en/products/avi-trimmer-mkv/

It's idiot-proof for somebody like me. For those having trouble with today's GOTD, you might want to give that easier one a try. Note, though, that you can only trip .avi and .mkv files. It totally fits my need.

For the record... made the purchase to take advantage of frame accurate, but finding out this program likes to drop the audio.

Split an older Mpeg2/Mpeg1 video/audio file into filename_0001 and 0002. Filename_0001 lost its audio in the split.

Split a M4V file into 4 slices keeping 2 and discarding 2... both kept their audio, then joined these 2 splits together, lost audio on second portion.

Tried this on two of my 3 Win8.1 64bit computers.

Have sent problem to support earlier but have not heard back as of this note.

Dear Olga of Solveig Multimedia,
I do appreciate your effort to reply to our questions and explain issues, which is not that common practice of software providers.

However, it seems that your company tries to introduce the program in a premature version, which needs further reworking. So many reports about program crashing is an indication that the code misses proper error handling, which – in the world of programmers – is a shame. The program should display relevant prompts/messages, such as "this file format is not supported", "reinstall your codecs", etc., rather than crash and display messages quite "mysterious" to average users.

I hope you’ll come out with a more mature version in the future and we all will enjoy praising your software.
Regards,
Marek

does this work with .ts files (transport stream) or H.263, H.264?

Thank you so much Solveig Media and GAOTD! Solveig MM Video Splitter is the BEST video splitter on the market, PERIOD. I used the previous version 3 and it was the only video splitter that could handle 25GB bluray movies AND preserve audio/subtitles. Best of all, splitting is done without reencoding - preserving total video fidelity and achieving blazing speed. Unfortunately, my version 3 stopped working after a couple of months and could not open video files anymore. I am glad to have the latest version for free!

It seems that it has installed correctly on my XP SP3, but after opening two quite big video file (both over 700 MB and .ts format) todays program doesn't want to run any longer, it hangs and I have to close the program forcely by Task Manager.
I thought to reinstall suggested codec K-lite for instance...
One other small video ( almost 100 mb size) file in .avi format opened normally and the program worked.
What is the problem?

From others comments, this looks like a very nice program BUT..in system requirements, I noticed Windows Media Player was one of them. WHY? There are some who wouldn't use WMP to save their life. Almost any media player should suffice. Was ready to download and then most likely purchase after testing. Being forced to use WMP, or even have it on my system is a deal killer. Now, I'll have to pass on this offer. Too bad...

I installed and cut an AVI from 1 hour to 4 minutes with only the desired clips, it plays fine in VLC PLayer but says it needs to rebuild the index. Good program as far as i can see and i am considering buying the 10 dollar version today. Does anyone know the answer to the index rebuild thing?

I downloaded this and it installed okay (Win64u), I loaded a mkv file with no issues and started setting edit points, then while selecting the 5th region to keep I got an endlessly circling cursor and the window became unresponsive (I waited 90 mins before posting), so I've gone for a thumbs-down, but it certainly used to be a good program, just maybe not in the GAotD version...

is it one install per IP address ??
activation key failed on 2nd computer
not trying anything tricky .. one computer
is always apart for "upgrades"
so i usually install programs i want to
have around on two .. thanks

Pretty good software, but a lot of people don't know that VIDEO TO VIDEO software (converter/joiner/splitter) also does this for free.
There is a full install and a Portable version here:
http://www.freewarefiles.com/search.php?query=Video+to+Video&B1.x=32&B1.y=7&boolean=exact

Still, this software offered her to day, does the job well.

hats off to Olga !!
great to see someone spend this much time explaining things
and answering questions ..
i'm buying the software just because of her !!
the complainers should try writing software like this
and then comment ...
and for the "it doesn't run on MY computer" crowd - bear in
mind that installs on Windows are a shoot .. sometimes
it works, and sometimes it doesn't .. i have 3 XP systems,
2 win7 systems - installs will work on one, but not the other
i stoppped spending 1/2 day trying to figure out why a
while ago - just roll the dice on another box
ps: codec update is a good place to start
thanks to GOTD / Olga / Solveig
:-)

Olga,

Thank you for favoring us with immediate and responsive details and solutions. This shows exceptional customer service. This teaches me more about a software vendor/producer than any number of paragraphs expounding on program features.

In other words - sincerely -, "Thank you Olga. We are lucky and you are amazing."

Jim (with a smile)

If you activated this programme at your Admin level and then created a short cut from say a non admin level, the short cut when activated may ask for a registration to activate the program. Not sure if you tried to do this tomorrow, would it reject the registration you just got from GAOTD.

Mr.Olga Solveig Multimedia/Mr.Olga Krovyakova, could you Please explain...

1.The different between 'group of pictures' and 'frame accuracy' ???.

I do not get the GCD file that the download is supposed to have when I extract the package. Is this also with all the downloaders?

Just bought this using paypal based on the positive reviews here without even trying out the software myself. For Euro 7.99 what the heck. Call me a software junkie. Waiting for Digital River to verify my order..

You will be hard pressed to find a better video editor which I have used for years now. On top of that, they are offering this extremely awesome program for only $10 today! You won't find a better program with all these features for this price anywhere!!

Hi me again - Physical dual-boot (Win 8.11 & 10 -9926) Sorry about yesterday - seem better today - I am a little confused, Would this be considered a (say) DVD Ripper, allowing you to cut the whole thing or just parts there-of? Anyways, installed on both my partitions, shares the files that need sharing & maintains the files that need to be attached to their respective OS's. I really like the fact that you have kept a banner of pull-down "WORD" menu & not thrown it out - VERY NEEDED - Thank you. Over-all - I tried three files in each (small clips from You-Tube) avi among them - I had no prob. Thank you again Solveig Multimedia & GOTD & I'll see you again tomorrow. BTW - it's a keeper for me too. B4N

Thanks to Solvieg Multimedia + GOTD.
Tested.
Result: Good.
Will keep it.
It has a Yandex map feature, which I have not yet figured out.
But Yandex maps are pretty good and has major cities' details.

I tested the software with MP4, AVI (xvid in AVI container) and FLV videos.
I can confirm that MP4, AVI and FLV videos work flawlessly with this software.

The menu commands take some understanding. Maybe the programmer got carried away with computer-speak. I think the Russian programmers got their English confused.

When you select a portion of the video within markers, it is shown with golden yellow band. You can choose from the top row menu to [Cut out Selected Fragment]
You can also do a mouse right click to choose [Cut out Selected Fragment]

Now one would have thought that when you cut something out, it means you don't want that fragment. WRONG. The Russian programmers think that this means you want the part that you [Cut out Selected Fragment] and not the rest of the video.
You click on [Trim] button.
It then saves the [Cut out Selected Fragment] in a separate file.
You can output it to your choice of selected folder.
The name is the same but with a suffix 001. Then 002, and so on.
The software is smart enough not to over-write your original source video.

If you intended to REMOVE the fragment that you had highlighted, from the video, then you use the menu to choose [Invert Time Line Fragments] or click on the relevant icon shown as a circle cut by diagonal. Or use context menu to choose the command.
This will invert your selection.
When you click on [Trim]
It will remove the [Cut out Selected Fragment] and save the rest of the video.

Since this menu is so confusing, I have not figured the difference between [Keep Selected Fragment] and [Cut out Selected Fragment]. They have the same result.

Maybe something lost in translation from Russian to English.

Installed Win7 Pro with no problems. I've used free splitters before some are okay and some are great. I like this one! It's a keeper. The interface is easy to understand and work with. Looks like it can handle all types of different media files. At least the all the ones I have. Like I said, it's a keeper! Thanks to GOTD and Olga, at Solveig Multimedia

Basic video joiner /splitter and sudio extractor, would not call it a video editor in real sense as it does not convert or produce videos, its simply an improvement of the existing ones.

Hello and Good Day to everyone!

I have a question : recently, I was upset because I deleted some files on my Android Device.
I purchased a software from Wondershare (Dr Fone)
It recovered somes files.

But they are in a strange and odd format : M4A "

Does anyone knows if this kind of format is readable with this Video splitter?

Forgive me please is my question is a blunt but blonde ( BBB ) question ^^

Peace and thank you

Good to see a rep on the page. Wish more companies did that. Will check out the offering cause I can use a good splitter

Hmmmm, $10+tax, yet there is no tax to be added when you are out of state? out of country?

EURO is better deal than GBP.

If purchasing the special offer you'll find that it comes up at 7.99 (plus tax) in both GBP and Euro......!

@vendor
1. would be fine, if it would work properly,but unfortunately crashes on windows 7 ultimate 64bit when importing e.g.mp4 or mp3 files (even the microsoft inbuilt example mp3 music)
only importing of wmv-files worked properly
2. what kind of user policy has the full version - e.g. licensed per user / per pc, online hardware footprint activation (what when changing pc or formatting harddisk,..)?

I thought that this would be just the program I have been waiting for. Installed and activated OK, changed font colour in settings, then tried to open an avi file. Program crashed! Tried several other avi files to same effect. Rebooted PC and tried again. Would not open any avi files on my WIN7 system. Uninstalled :-(

What is the difference between this software and Camtasia Studio? Which one is better?

PS A short primer on why frame accurate matters

Video is encoded as a series of frames, made up into groups called groups of pictures (GOPs). The first frame in each group is a full frame, the whole picture as it were, with the other frames in that group only recording changes - a bit like full backup vs differential backups:

IxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc where I is a full frame and the x frames record only changes.

The problem comes when you want to cut on a x frame. Non frame accurate editors can't do it. They have to edit at the GOP level. If the GOPs are quite long, as they can be, especially but not only in mp4 video, then you can't cut where you want to cut.

Frame accurate editors fix this by re-encoding the relevant GOP so that in effect the x frame you want to cut on becomes a full frame. So if you wanted to cut in the the middle of the second GOP above, what you would get is:

IxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc

The other GOPs are then simply copied, which is why frame accurate editors are fast - they only re-encode GOPs that need to be re-encoded.

If I interpret the chart on the Solveig page showing the difference between today's giveaway ("Home") version and the full version (for $10), (link given in Comment #7 above), it looks like the only true difference, other than no support and no upgrades for the free version is:

The paid version has frame accuracy (cuts to a single frame) for these file types:
MPEG1&2
MP4
MOV
FLV
AVCHD
The free version only cuts to nearest key frame on those file types.


Both versions have frame accuracy for AVI, MKV and WMV file types.

Is that what it looks like to everyone else?
Not sure if I need frame accuracy for those file types for 10 bucks.

Just checking user reviews about Solveig MM Video Splitter on some forum and found most users' satisfaction and they were mainly impressed by its ability to create lossless output . But also few expressed difficulties with Avi and Flv files.

Okay, taking the oppertunity to try this editor , I also found it as an effective program which actually does what it promises .
Alongwith video files It can even split audio such as MP3s, WAVs etc. But it supports limited formats.
'Drag and drop' method for importing files is supported. Frame-by-frame mode for trimming is available. An audio silence can be set for a specific fragment.
The rest of the feature s are as usual (encoding, decoding, previewing etc ). All in all this is handy and quick tool for cutting clips almost without loss of quality.

While this is an outstanding software, I have not bought it due to the price. There used to be a free version of this one?? However, what are the limitations of the current offering?
Right now I'm using ffmpeg to do my video cuts. Saved a batch file and use it everytime. Awesome, free, fast.

The following web page tells you about the limitations. scroll to the bottom of the page,
http://www.solveigmm.com/en/products/video-splitter-4-giveawayoftheday-and-full-version/

Crashes everytime after import of avi-files on Win 7/64.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.

A Russian company from Tomsk with name, address&phone and a picture of the owner. The company is on the market since 2003. We had a a previous Media Splitter on 2006, long time ago.

Upon start a resizable interface opens, on my screen nearly unreadable - white on grey:
http://i.imgur.com/4iKK1Jj.png (A dear in the dawn in front of my office window)

You can change the color in the settings, but not the font size:
http://i.imgur.com/ngUqt8g.png

The program splits the video automatically in 15 sec slices, this makes it easy to define the parts to cut. The cut out can be adjusted to the frame.
It is not a converter, you cannot define an other output forma, than the input is. But you can select audio only or video stream only.

In the tools, you'll find a join manager, too. ->splitter&joiner.

In my short test, it does what it claims. It works fast and is easy to handle.

I'll keep it, because of its fast handling of deleting unwanted scenes.

Installs well in XPSp3. Very good interface , show audio wave, one can jump to the Key-frames. This version do not support FLV's. It's a keeper!

According to the flash, shown once installed, this is actually not the full Home version, but has some limitations which can be overcome with a $10 payment!

Unable to install as the program aborted the installation itself.

Not too bothered to be honest as have a perfectly good Free program that does the same more or less, it is called Avidemux 2.6 and is available at Avidemux.org.

Just to cut the video there is also Moo0 Video Cutter 1.07 (Free) available from:-
