Problem cutting a DivX AVI

[D_75]

I've read through other posts on possible problums other people have had trying to cut an AVI, but none seem to apply to what I'm getting.

I'm trying to make a movie fit onto a CD. The main run-in I'm having is the fact that I have almost zero free hard drive space.

I'd use VirtualDub 1.4 and cut the files on a key frame with Direct Stream Copy on both audio and video. Then export it directly to a CD. I've exported the Audio and Video together, and when that failed, I tried to export the Audio and Video seperate, so I could join them on a different computer.

But when I try to re-open those files again (with the exception of the audio because I got that out just fine) I get an error in virtual dub that says "This AVI file doesn't have a movie data block (movi)!"

I'm stuck. What do I need to do, or what should I try to use? I'm wasting a lot of CD's with this...

One other thing. On one eairlier attempt, I started to send the file to the CD, but aborted very eairly because I didn't set something right (didn't intend to include audio, cause that didn't work last time), but when I checked the tiny file that I had exported, it played fine (even though it lasted about 7 seconds, but that's only because I aborted eairly. Just a small note)

And: Using VirtualDub to look at the file info of the original movie, it was encoded with Divx 4.02, if that helps any.

"The main run-in I'm having is the fact that I have almost zero free hard drive space."

That is a MOST CRITICAL problem. If you're not able to obtain a larger hard drive, consider zipping the seldom used folders on your present drive and/or saving them to a CD - in order to free up the muchneeded hard drive space.

VirtualDub works like a charm for both cutting and mergin .AVI files.

Let us know of your success ;>}

Another solution

Well, that won't work. It's a work computer, I don't own. So, what I'll do is use WinRAR and split the file up into several pieces and burn that on two CD's.

Good luck with that approach. When you un-RAR them, you may discover that you've corrupted the files.

Hi, It's said that DVDCutter has been upgrade to DVDCutter Stream and Mp3CDWav Converter 2.5,
can cut and merger optionally your favorite parts from dvd/vcd/mpg/mp3/avi to your hard disk, can convert
CD->Mp3 files, CD->Wav files, Mp3->Wav files, Wav->Mp3 files, VCD(dat file)->MPG file, DVD(vob)->avi with Sound, DVD(vob)->AC3, DVD(vob)->MP3, and more.
Eliminate audio part of an avi file to form a "silent" movie, divide the avi movie into the audio and video, 2 parts!.
( Then you can add in any music you love or even your own sounds, your own songs, or add in many
different style music to the "silent" avi movie file to form a new movie with the sound you like, acting
as a mixer or even a film director, and so on haha..., but don't do bad things!
