Video Studio 10 Crashes during Split by Scene with MPEG2
I tried using split by scene to break-up some home movies I captured to a MPEG-2 file. The Split by scene works nicely and breaks-up a 2-hour movie into about 250 scenes consisten with many short segments of 8mm film. I would take me hours to do this by hand. The problem is the program gives an error message that the program must close and you will lose all your work. There is no way around the error. I tried stopping the middle of the split by scene to give it a rest and save the scenes, but the only thing that works is the escape key which results in no splits. Any ideas?
If possible, try re-capturing to AVI/DV. The VS9 User Manual says in only works with DV:
And, it's possible that your MPEG is corrupted. All of my weird problems have been caused by MPEGs with "sneaky" corruption... They played-back OK.Split by scene: Automatically separates captured video into several files based on changes in shooting date and time. (This feature can be used only when capturing video from a DV camcorder.)
Yeah... This video editing stuff takes hours & hours & hours...It would take me hours ...

Doug -- Split by scene only works *during* capture with DV/AVI and not with mpeg-2. BUT it works just fine with mpeg-2 in the manner described by Jpash *after capture*.
However, I agree that there could be something wrong with the original capture.
There is also the possibility that the program just can't deal with such a huge file in one gulp. I personally, for instance, have never tried breaking up an mpeg-2 file by scene in anything longer than 30 minutes. I am not saying that this is impossible -- it is just that I very rarely ever have captured files which each exceeds 30 minutes.
I can think of a couple of work-arounds. I think you can set the sensitivity of the split by scene. Make it a little less sensitive i.e. so it can make longer files and fewer of them. When you have your mpeg-2 in the timeline and select split by scene, a dialogue box appears which asks how you want to do it. The default is by 'Frame Content'. Accept that but click on the Options button below that and it allows you to adjust the sensitivity.
Or you could manually break up your original file into three or four parts (selecting some appropriate spots yourself). And then use 'split by scene' on each of these new segments.
