Remove Join function

Post by Carsten »

Just saw this:

>Remove join function; the code is long and I don't think anybody uses it.

I thought the join function would correctly connect fragmented video files, as segmented MTS, VOB, files etc,, when simply using them in sequence without JOIN would yield different results (image/audio breaks).

What is the code actually doing? I admit, I do use it when converting segmented video pulled directly from my Sony camera.

That's it exactly...! If you use it, I will put it back :)

I'd leave it in, I guess it is good to have for direct DVD conversion (multiple segmented VOB files). That's probably where it came from in the first place. Even if used rarely, I think it's great to have that function in DCP-o-matic, as it follows the 'convert from everything' approach.
