Splitting video

[cateye]

Hello,

I have few videos converted to Divx format that are about 1.1 - 1.3 GBs large. I would like to fit them all to general 700MB CD-Rs, but I have to make them smaller then. Is it possible with VirtualDub for example to just split the video into two pieces without recompressing? I would like to have two files that are like 1.1GB/2 = 563MB. Thanks for help!

Yes. Visit the following link for some helpful information:

Splitting with VirtualDub (or any of its variants) or NanDub


1)Load your original (DivX-compressed or otherwise) .AVI into VirtualDub or NanDub
2) Set BOTH "Video" and "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection Start"
4) Move slider to approximate halfway point
5) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Go to next keyframe"
6) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection End'
7) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save as AVI" - Save as a new filename (e.g. "Movie1of2.avi").
8) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection Start"
9) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Move to End"
10) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection End"
11) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save as AVI" - Save as a new filename (e.g. "Movie2of2.avi").

the link ormonde gave is perfectly fine

i dont really see the point of posting the same information a second time - especially when it comes from someone who is constantly complaining about *spamming* whenever he feels like ^_~

Thanks guys. By the way, I just found out I have several movies in .mpg format, any way to split that one?

"I just found out I have several movies in .mpg format, any way to split that one?"

Use "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". There is a "Merge and Cut" feature in the "Mpeg Tools" section. ("File > "Mpeg Tools")
