I tried SimpleMovieX several times but there is still a major problem for me (and I guess many other users) - and I never got any response by the developers:
I'm using an online TV recorder (save.tv) which saves videos as AVIs (DIVX).
In the past I've cut out commercials of those AVIs with VirtualDub, a free Windows application (http://www.virtualdub.org) via Parallels Desktop on my Mac.
Native Editing with VirtualDub works perfect. I am viewing the edited videos on my Playstation 3 without any problems.
Now - since I'm using a Mac - I've tried the recent version of SimpleMovieX. While I can cut and save those AVIs (DIVX) with SimpleMovieX (respecting the editing points = keyframe restriction) like with VirtualDub - and also view them on my Mac - showing those videos edited with SimpleMovieX on my Playstation 3 doesn't work: The movie and the sound are playing too fast and frames are jumping.
While I've read what has been published about the AVI format I have to stick to it since it's what I get from save.tv - and I don't want to loose quality and time by re-encoding the videos.
So since loss-less cutting of AVIs (DIVX) is possible VirtualDub I cannot understand why it shouldn't be possible with SimpleMovieX.
I really would like to buy SimpleMovieX if it worked for me.
