Tool for Lossless MPEG2 I-Frame cutting and assembling?

Hello,

Do you know any tool out there able to cut out and reassemble MPEG2
I-Frame videos?

I guess the final file has to be re-indexed (i.e.timecodes
recalculated), please confirm!

Also, is there a tool out there to generate LTC track for an MPEG2
(preferably in WAV format)?

Thanks so much.

VideoReDo and Womble MPG Wizard are two that spring to mind. I've never
checked, but perhaps one or both of those products would export a PCM
wave file from audio track.

Both can. But the OP is trying to be funny, or has lost
his way, there are plenty of professional broadcast tools
to do what he describes, they just cost more than I would
spend on a car. The "rec" in rec.video and rec.video.desktop
is recreational.

I can capture MPEG-2 as I frame only using a PCI
card that uses a reference design that current cards
going for <$100 are using. I have cut I frame only
MPEG2 many times. A LTC isn't needed, but can
be created with the proper tools. MPEG2 itself
contains audio video frame synchronization data.

Luck;

Thanks for your help Ken,

I need some clarification:
1) could you please provide names of profesionnal broadcast tools to
perform the task?
2) What tools did you personnaly use for cutting IFrame MPEG2? Any of
them providing an API for automation?
3) I actually need to create the LTC for tape outs. Could you please
give me some tool names to do that?
4) I know rec is for recreational, I have also posted in
alt.multimedia.mpeg, do you suggest other more appropriate groups?

Thanks so much,

Bruno

1) I won't do all your research for you but these are part
of the proprietary hardware based video engineering suites.

2) I retired 14 years ago (at 45), and don't have access to
the current professional equipment. ( A lot has changed in
the last 14 years.) I personally use VideoReDo, as I
mentioned, but it is not setup to allow outside development
for such integration (API or not). [You could contact Dan at
their forum on their web site] If you aren't really lost,
you might check out "Cutterman" and MPEG I-Frame
modifications. Otherwise we are talking high end "Prosumer"
hardware assisted MPEG2 NLE setups, "DigiSuite" appears
out of it, but Maxtrox has Axio, now. You might dig into the
specs for Avid Liquid, and Sony's offerings, and there is always
Adobe.

3) Check this out first:

4) There are several posters here that claim a much greater
familiarity with the Pro newsgroups, perhaps they will chime in.
