Need prog to cut AVI

[peterk]

Hello. I have an Xvid that I want to cut. I have tried using VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod but they seem to only cut at an iFrame or something. When I cut it I get about a half second quick flick that I don't want to see when it starts playing.

Is there a cutter that is more precise where I can choose to cut wherever I want AND save it without reencoding, ie Direct Stream Copy like VirtualDub does?

Try AVIDemux.

Beautiful, thanks Paglamon. BTW, should I rebuild I & B frames, I notice that there is a feature for this. don't know what it is for actually>

When it asks to rebuild frames, say "Yes".
BTW, AVI was not supposed to natively support B-frames. But there are hacks around this both on the encoder and decoder side. To know more about this have a look here:http://forum.digital-digest.com/arch...p/t-36593.html. Go to the post by bond_d9.Pretty detailed and great explanation of a complicated stuff(and I still understand only a bit of it,to say the truth !).
