Is there a way to [split video files]?

Postby Gokuru » Thu Aug 07, 2003 7:11 pm

Is there a way to divide videos? Because I got this 900+MB Video, and I want to divide it into 2 half and half videos. Are there any programs out there that con so anything like that?

You can also use Virtual dub to by selecting a portion and being all like

SAVE AVI AS...

If you're gonna use VirtualDub make sure to select "Direct Stream Copy" otherwise, it will compress the video to the default settings (granted you don't mess with any of the compress settigns). This is only if youw ant to split the video though.

Lol, even though running on a short budget, I went and bought Adupe Premiere 6.5 and been trying to figure out how to split the video into 2 parts... but I've had no luck. Any suggestions by any chance?

if you bought it, read the manual. Tells you how to do it perfectly. :roll:

I don't want to know what Hands-On learning you do with Manuel.

But I guess 'we' should mention that Premiere is not meant for splicing videos in half. Vdub or an actual "AVI-Splitter" program. Unless you're doing more than splitting, I wouldn't send my video through Premiere's render engine. Especially if it's YUV source. >_< Colorspace conversion for no reason!


:P

... it means when I see the manual, I skip reading and just start messing with the program and try to figure stuff on my own. ... btw, I'm asian.

WRONG!

Please don't say things you don't know about.

AVI is a container format! It is not a compression format. AVI can contain really any form of compression. It is a way to merge video and audio streams into one file. It means nothing for compression.

DivX or XviD compression inside an AVI file is usually better than MPEG compression. Also compressing already compressed footage is BAD.


About VirtualDub. If you want to just split the file, make sure you set it to Video|Direct Stream Copy & the same for audio. You don't want to recompress the streams. That will be bad. Also Full Processing mode sends it through Vdubs filter engine, which requires the footage in RGB.
