Saving Video

[Powell41]

Good Day Forum Folks:

I'm all brand new and shiny to your application so please bear with me. I am trying to eliminate all the titles, introductions, and cast & crew listing from a multi part video that I have downloaded. I can get rid of all this dross following the steps in the wiki instructions, however I can't seem to save it. I am doing all the editing in the copy mode and the finished product is the way I want it, but when I try to save it from the file menu or by simply clicking on the file icon I get a message  telling me that I am in copy mode but the cutpoints are not made on the keyframes. The message also informs me that I can still save the file anyway. As soon as I click save I get CRASH message. The codec for the original file is 4CC H264. What am I doing wrong?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Powell Lucas

you MUST start on a I frame and end on I or P frame (see bottom of avidemux window).

Select these cutting points only with up/down keyboard arrows or / .
Technical explanation: "copy" mode: Removing frames from a video results in missing reference frames ( pseudo IDR as IDR ....)
