Specter Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Im kinda new to video editing and photo editing. Most of my background is in OS's, networking, and PC's. Can someone tell me if there is a freeware app out there or a fairly cheap one that will allow mo to split AVI files into smaller pieces, and also just take excerpts from .avi's and .mpeg's?

Stinger Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Crap...I searched my external HDD and couldn't find the one I used to use. It was called Vid something it was completly free. I will try and search for it again cause it rocked and I know I will need it sometime again. Premiere is pretty cool though too $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabellum Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Right now at BestBuy, you can get Paint Shop Pro 7 for $49, and it includes Animation Shop. From what you said, Animation Shop will do what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Everyone, thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. Nightcrawler, thank you very much. Id very much appreciate the links. No apology necessary. Your helping me out. Xian Saint, thanks for the tip. I didnt even know that was there. Of course I would, if I wasnt all the time piicking the OS's apart, but instead using what else might be there. heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightCrawler Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 http://www.dvdrhelp.com/ This is THE site for getting it all together. 1) always work with a COPY of your video file. If you eff it up, you want to be able to get the original back and start over. 2) I use Virtualdub, TMPEGenc, and WinDVD4; as well as Radtools, Divx Pro, and some shareware tha came with the Dazzle device. 3)MPEG-1 is a vcd, MPEG-2 is SVCD or DVD, and MPEG 4 is the latest standard, used by Windows media player, quicktime 6, and DIVX 5 or higher. They are not all cross compatible. 4) IF you use TMPEGenc, make sure to get the quicktime reader plugin, and install the latest free version of Quicktime. This will allow you to convert QWuicktime files to other formats, for burning to vcds, etc. 5)I use Nero 5; I cannot comment on anything else. I paid the $15 for the MPEG2 codec. It was worth every cent. This is the e-mail he just sent me, hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
