Specifications

VOB files named:
VTS_01_01.VOB
VTS_01_02.VOB
VTS_01_03.VOB
etc.
When Auto combine is checked, VideoRedo Plus will see that each of this VOBs are part of the same set and
load all three of them, as one long file, whenever you open any of them.
Note: When working with VOB files, the filename VTS_??_00.VOB always contains menu and background
images. VideoReDo Plus knows not to include this VOB file name in the Auto Combine set.
When a series of files are to be combined, VideoReDo Plus automatically creates a VLST file. This text file
contains the list of the component files. You may select the location of the saved VLST (Videoredo file LiST) file
by one of two methods:
Store VLST in Source Folder : Will automatically create the VLST in the original location of the source files.
Specify Folder : Allows you to specify an alternative folder location when your source media is write protected
or for convenience purposes.
Note: You must specify an alternative folder location if importing from the DVD directly. DVDs are write
protected and the file cannot be created on the DVD. Generally, we recommend copying DVD material to your
hard drive before editing.
Auto Processing Of .CRID Files : Allows the auto-concatenation of sequential files produced by a
Siemens M740AV receiver / DVR which receives DVB transmissions. The CRID file contains meta data
(program name, description, etc) as well as the links to the actual files which contain the audio and
video information. When the CRID option is enabled, an additional menu item, File > Open CRID File will
enabled. The menu option will appear the next time you restart VideoReDo Plus.
CRID Folder: Specify the folder location of the CRID files.
Allow CRID Deletions and Renames: Allows for the rename and deletion of CRID files in the
CRID file
open dialog box, since by default VideoReDo Plus does not provide for alteration or deletion of the source video file,
Plot Masking Area: Allows an area of the screen to be covered with a rectangle to reduce to opportunity to
see the program's plot while editing. Options include small, medium, large, and Extra Large. This feature can
be enabled from the menu: View > Show Plot Mask This will allow you to edit video without previewing a
significant portion in order to enjoy the video after editing.
Reduce CPU Priority While Saving: Checking this option slightly lowers the CPU priority of VideoReDo
Plus during the save process. This may slightly improve system responsiveness while VideoReDo Plus is
saving your edits while extending the time it takes to complete the output. This option also affects the priority
when saving from batch. When output is complete, the CPU priority of VideoReDo Plus is restored to its
normal state.
Multiple File Open Or Drag: This drop down box lets you determine the behavior when more than one file
is specified in the file open dialog or when multiple files are dragged into VideoReDo. There are three options:
1. Prompt - Each time you open multiple files you'll be offered the option whether you want to combine or join.
2. Join - Sort the file list and add them to the joiner.
3. Combine - Sort the file list and combine them into one logical file.
4. Add to DVD - Sort the file list and add them to the DVD Title List
Remarks about Combining versus Joining:
The VideoReDo joiner performs it's work during the output phase, each file to be joined is separately opened
and analyzed. Part of this analysis is searching for the first I-Frame (GOP start) in the file. So, if a file being
joined does not begin on GOP boundary the frames prior to the start of that GOP are ignored.
The combining function is an input function. Data from each file in the concatenation list (VLST file) is
logically appended to the end of the previous file. The entire set of files is then treated as one single file
by VideoReDo Plus. In many cases, VOB or transport stream files are split at arbitrary byte boundaries
without regards to MPEG formats like I-Frames splits or even audio frame splits. The Auto Concatenation
ignores these issues and will treat the input files as if the original splits never occurred.
