Editing Movie File

[Qwazi]

I have a movie in .avi form. It is saved under "my videos". So i open dvdshrink v3.2 because i want to trim the length and do some other stuff to the file. so i went to "open files" button. when i navigate into "my videos" and it wont navigate down to the file itself, so i just try to open the closest folder. but then it says "failed to open file "C:\blah blah\my documents\my videos\VIDEO_TS.IFO"

what the heck??

any help is appreciated

Yes, DVD Shrink doesn't accept avis. Virtual Dub Mod is the tool for you.

yep vdub/MOD or an encoding program that allows you to select the desired range (if you're putting this on dvd)

Thanks for all the help and replies. However i have yet another problem. After i open a dvd DVDshrink analyzes it, i go into re-author mode. Then i watch a little of the movie to make sure it right, etc. Anyway when i watch the movie in the little screen in dvdshrink, it starts out with green everywere and sketchy video and audio. Then when that goes away in a few seconds, and everything sounds and plays fine, there is some text in the top left of the video telling about the CPU load and video dimensions and junk like that. I have never had this before. and te only thing that i have done is install and semi-configure the following:

XVIDCORE-1.1.0-beta2
VirtualDub-1.6.14
ffdshow-20051129
AVIedit

Anyone have a clue whats going on?

Oh btw i've tried it on 2 discs and it does it on both
