Anyone know a good avi chopper?

[Pancrack]

does anyone know of a good chopping tool so I can cut avi files in half without having to convert them into mpegs first?

I've been trying avichop but it seems to mess up pretty much every movie.

Virtualdub/Nandub

I've tried both of those and I always end up with the audio well out of sync with the picture

Did you follow the divx-digest.com guides. Most people generally have sync issues, when they do not cut at a keyframe. Always make sure you cut at a "key frame".

as far as I know, I have cut it at a keyframe.

I used the skip to next keyframe keys to select the cutting point.

Read the guide (http://www.divx-digest.com/articles/cutavi.html) on how to correct a/v synch issues with Virtualdub/Nandub.

If that fails to work, you may attempt to manually adjust the audio and video using synchronizer.

I seem to have been pretty successful with the few movies I've just tried that out on.

thanks a lot
