Haali Media Splitter

grahamm7 wrote on 5/27/2020, 3:24 AM

I found this software installed on my PC (Windows10) had no idea what this was or where it came from. Nearly deleted it. Then read up it is a media spliter app. So when I import a video with audio - I suspect that this is used to seperate them into 2 tracks. Shame this is not made more clearly in the installation. I try to not have unecessary programs on my PC. Particularly ones I don't where they came from or what they are. Can someone confirm that this Haali media splitter (GDSMux; Media Splitter setting) is installed by Magix Video Editor Pro Premium. Thanks

On a much older computer I once had the Haali Media Splitter installed, though I honestly cannot remember why! I have MEP Premium and it certainly does not exist on my computer now! So no, it is NOT installed by MEP or VPX.

This is the app's web page, which I see has not been updated since 2013 so I suspect that the app itself is now possibly redundant.

BTW, assuming you need the facility to separate audio and video into 2 tracks, that is entirely possible within MEP itself. Simply ensure the highlighted option in the screenshot below is not ticked:

Hi

It installed on my old PC when I installed a program called "PC User Userbench Encode HD" and it is also present in K Lite Codec Pack. I think it is a muxing application.

The HAALI Media Splitter is needed to allow Picasa to decode MP4 (inc MOV) files. 👍

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.
