I'm not as fortunate as the rest of you!

I have an installation issue. The program almost installs itself, but I get the following error:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

I did google the error, but did not get anywhere. I've tried it on 2 PC's now and I get the same error. Any ideas?

The dCut Service window is open, but I can find it in the More Programs (Suppléments in the french version of MCE).

Any idea ?

Silly me, I found it on the More Programs menu. Can't think why I didn't look there first!

My only problem with it now is the screen display. [I'm sure I posted this before, but it doesn't appear.]

Have a look at <img src="http://www.trumphurst.com/dolphin/dCut.JPG">">http://www.trumphurst.com/dolphin/dCut.JPG">

It shows how my display is all jumbled up

Editing is added by dCut, that half of what it does.

I'm confused - dCut is supposed to allow me to edit my recorded TV programs (e.g. to cut out the commercials) before burning them to DVD. Is that right?

If so, what do I do to actually edit a video? I haven't found an edit button anywhere in Media Centre yet.

All suggestions/problem should really be reported to the developer. Starting or posting in a current dCut thread at The Green Button might be another idea. :)

This program is great. Integrating it with MC makes cutting videos intuitive. I was using DVRedit from TGB which uses a mouse for editing and it was tedious. The one thing that dCut does not do is to cut the captions as well as the video from a DVR-MS file. Since I am hearing impaired, closed captions are a big part of every show I watch. I would appreciate you including a mechanism to cut captioning screens at the same time as it cuts video screens. DVRedit is cluncky, but it does include the captions in the edited video. I would greatly appreciate this fix.

I think this is a great product and I would be interested in using it if my editing shows contain captions, as they do when I record with regular MCE.

Loaded dCut 0.95. Editing worked fine. But when I went to burn a dvd in Media Center, it hung at about 3%. The unedited version burned just fine. Tried again using MyDVD, and it hung bringing the edited file into the project. Again, the unedited version imported as a project and I was able to create a DVD. I didn't see a email link on the dCut page to post this. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gary

I wanted to uninstall dCut and reinstall so everyone could use it as I didn't see this option in the config manager. It uninstalled cleanly but now I cannot install dCut successfully. There were a lot of entries still in the registry after the uninstall. I removed all of them, rebooted my PC and tried to install again to no avail.

The error I am getting is

DCutservice.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Service

"Application has generated an exception that could not be handled"

Process id=0xb98 (2968), Thread id=0xab0 (2976)

The only change during the install is to select "Everyone" which is what I should have done originally.

I wamted to continue using dCut but unfortunately if I go back and try and select "Just Me" I get the same erro (of course different process and thread id).

Select CANCEL to view debugging info also got an error as the debugger could not be found.

DCutService.exe - No debugger found.

Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2 (2).

cordbg.exxe !a 0xcc4

I would like to get dCut back in an operational state again as I appreciate the compress capabilities and seamless integration with MCE. Especially being able to set a rule to automatically compress. Very useful.

Thanks
Jonathan

I used this to do an edit and compress, which worked phenomenally by the way. Anyway, after the operation, I was left with a file that didn't contain the "meta" data (I think that's what it's called). The videao "name" looked like a GUID, there was no info about the movie, no cast, etc...

Let me know if you need any info...

Love the product. Tried to use a previous version with no success. Glad to see it's coming along and still being developed.
