ProgDVB SolveigMM MPEG Editor

You want to edit your movies? So ProgDVB SolveigMM MPEG Editor will be useful for you! This product allows to delete unnecessary fragments from video file without video/audio quality loss. This guide explains how you can edit MPEG2 file. The MPEG2 file editing is performed accurate within the frame. Full video conversion is not used, so the quality of the video file is saved.

	Marker is set to a current cursor position.
	The selected marker is highlighted with yellow color.

Markers can be added or deleted. Such operations as deleting and positioning are applied to the selected markers only.

Fragment is a part of video (or audio) file limited by two markers to be removed or kept in a final movie, e.g. commercial block you want to cut off. Selected fragments are marked with orange color. Fragments marked as 'cut off' are colored with white color.
Examples of fragments are provided in table below:

	This fragment was set to be deleted. It will not be presented in final movie
	This fragment was set to be kept. It will be presented in final movie
	This fragment was set to be deleted. It will not be presented in final movie. Yellow highlight means you can edit it (delete, set it to be kept, etc.)

1. Click the button to open a file for editing. You can also use the Open Media File command in the File menu.
2. Select the required file.
3. Select the checkbox to prevent the immediate file indexing. If the checkbox is deselected, the one of the windows shown in Figure 2.1 or Figure 2.2 will appear.

   Note: The file indexing ensures that the splitting process will be performed accurate within the frame. The splitted fragment will start with exactly that frame on which the beginning marker was placed. And the last frame of the splitted fragment will be the frame on which the ending marker was placed

4. Click the button to open the selected file.

6. Click the Add marker button. You can also add the marker selecting the Set New Marker command of the contextual menu or using the [M] key (see Note). Then add the marker at the end of the fragment. Markers divide movie into several fragments (see Basic Terms). In our example we divide our movie into four fragments by adding markers in the required places.
