3.3. Advanced Functions

Warning

These functions were designed for advanced users only. If you don't know what you are doing, you could create unplayable videos or crash iriverter

3.3.1. Manually Splitting Videos

iriverter automatically splits videos over an hour in length if you are using an H300. It tries to make equally sized parts, but if you want to take control of the splitting yourself unselect Options->Advanced->Automatically Split and convert your videos as you would normally. When that is done select Jobs->New->Advanced->Manual Split, choose your input video, add the times to split around and press Convert again. You will get a video file for each desired split in the same directory as the input video.

To determine where to put the split marks, you can open the video file in iriverter's video player by selecting Jobs->Play File... (Shift-Ctrl-F). You can see the current position by pressing O to activate the on-screen-display. You can move forward and backwards by pressing Right or Left, respectively. You can pause by pressing P.

3.3.2. Fixing Audio/Video Sync

If you find that the audio is out of sync with the video, you can specify an amount of time up to 1000 milliseconds with which to delay or advanced the audio stream in Options->Advanced->Audio Sync....

Note

If you are using Linux and do not have the MPlayer patch applied, you cannot bring the audio ahead of the video. See Section 2.3 for more information.

3.3.3. Additional MEncoder Options

iriverter uses MEncoder to handle the conversion. If you know what you are doing, you can specify additional options to the mencoder command in Options->Advanced->Extra Options.... Refer to the MEncoder documentation for additional options.
