Otbl Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Is there a limit for input file size? I tried to slice 2 Gb file but it only processed 25% of it. Is it possible to increase this size limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchseymour Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I tried to do a 750 MB file and it did NOTHING. I am concerned that the UI showed the time of the file a -09:-09:-39, so perhaps it's the duration and not the file size that's the issue???

gordy321 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 i have the same problem with a large file with it showing a -time. how about a response from NCH to what is a simple question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchseymour Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Same thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker_Bell_N_C_H Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hello, Sorry for the delay in the response. I checked with our developers on this issue and have some information. We are longer updating Slice, because we have a product that operates similar to Slice with more available features. WavePad is going to be a product you should try. We have a free version available here: http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/index.html WavePad allows you to cut sound clips out of larger files, similarly to Slice. WavePad improves on Slice by also allowing users to reduce noise from the clip or add effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchseymour Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks for the response, even though it is well over two years late!!!! The problem seems to be one of file size and not duration. I *think* the problem occurs at the half a gigabyte threshold, though I have not tried to narrow it down exactly. I have one file that is less that half-a-gig and works with Slice but, due to a difference in bit rate, has a longer duration than a file that is over half-a-gig that does not work. It is kind of you to point us to the free version of WavePad, but that is clearly not a useful substitute for Slice. In Slice I can request that a file be split into 100 parts, for example. Slice figures out how long each part should be, and creates 100 files. If that feature is in WavePad, it is not obvious. I can select and save parts of a file, but to do that 100 times, manually, would be ridiculous. Slice is a perfect too for dealing with audio books. WavePad (unless I'm overlooking this capability), not so much. Some online audio book sellers now send HUGE (like 30+hour) books as one file. It's much safer to slice it up into smaller sections for listening. More than once I've had a player lose track of where it was, and fast forwarding 16 hours into a single audio file is quite annoying, assuming I even had an idea of where to scan to... Look, I realize Slice is a free tool, and support is totally at your whim, but please re-consider correcting the issue with large files. I don't need any additional features, I just need the current feature set to work properly with large files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InteractiveBob Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I, too have the same issue. Can WavePad cut the large MP3 in half, then load the two sections into Slice for quick dissection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FjoldFjar Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Solution to large file showing as negative number for "length" I was able to split the audiobook file (14+ hours, nearly 500MB) into two mp3 files by using the free audio editing program Audacity. When I opened the resulting files in Slice, each showed a positive number for "length." Slice then had no trouble splitting them into as many tracks as I wished.
