this is an excellent guide, thank you very much

Just what I needed man. Thx Now I don't ahve to go buy anything. I just use what I already have SWEET!!

I have this .avi video file I downloaded. I managed to cut it into 2 halfs by this great VirtualDub explanation. I can watch these 2 files perfectly on my computer!
BUT!!! When I burn these files on CD and turn to watch them on my DVD machine, i get the picture upside down on my TV screen, meaning the titles are at the top of the picture (like a mirror).
How do I make it work out perfectly??

is anyone else having a problem with the sound? i splitted my divx file in half successfully but one thing that went wrong was the sound... the sound became way off...
is there anyway to fix this?

thanks so much. this is a really good guide

Perfect guide
Thank you

Nice tut. and very simple. I wanted to split avis into lots of little bits because they could stream easier to my psp with pimpstreamer(since it's very hard to resume streaming once u have stopped playing[fw 2.8 maybe?]).

Anyway, i got annoyed after splitting one file into >10 bits so i coded a VERY simple program in VB that creates a VD script and even has simple drag and drop functions(first time using em ^^).
I thought it might be useful to some so here it is(source is included and since this thing took me a few hours tops, do w/e u want with the source[though i'd appreciate a little credit where possible ^^]).

All it does is creates a script for VD that splits avis into smaller parts(from 2 to 99999 parts).
Remember to set "Video" > "Direct Stream Copy" b4 u execute the script or u'll be encoding the vids into smaller parts.

Thank you , thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

If u want your sound to mix well with the video using virtualdub to where its not off from the lips or going slower or faster than the video,simply use full processing mode in stead of the direct stream copy. I did it that way when an error came up and if u read the error it will advice u to do the same thing.

It i will take longer processing the movie but it will be better quality. Most of the movies I have placed in virtualdub i use direct stream copy only because it does not give me any errors in telling me sound and vid will be off. So unless u get errors then just use it as stated above. Otherwise try it with full processing mode. I haven't had any probs thus so far. Always check ur movies out before you burn them too. If the sound and vid is off in your player then it will be off if burnt on a cd or dvd.

I downloaded the VirtualDub 1.7.2 version and everytime I try to open a video file (.avi) it says the following -

Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'XVID' (unknown)
VitualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows Media Player, are no suitable.

Can anyone help? Many thanks

If you're getting an error complaining about a missing codec (Xvid, for example), you might want to do an Internet search for that codec. Amazingly enough, Xvid is a free, GPL codec that you can download and use for free. Next time, use your brain and try to find your own answer. That lump of fat in your head is for more than keeping your ears from touching, you bloody chimp.

How can I split the subtitle?

This is the best instruction I've seen.
The man is gifted in teaching.
Keep up.
Thnx

Man I like the answer you gave to Elliot, zookeeper you’re the best I never thought I would found something to laugh about on reply to question but you make my day man. I am a computer tech and I go through a lot of those silly questions but keep up the good work piece

When I Watch On My Com Everything Fines But When i Write It And Watch Ov The Tv The Sound Come slow that picture about 5 sechow do i solve this problem please help me

no me fio de estos programas: virus, desestabilizacion del ordenata, etc......

I sure hope this works

so i installed xvid and decided to try cutting an xvid file and the error still keeps popping. i tried virtualdubmod and it still does the error. couldn't locate decompressor "xvid". please help me.

I see all these frame ordinated tools but I need a play and cut/splice tool

just like I had the 16mm or 35mm film (with sound already attached)

I would take my razor blade an cut it where I wanted an then splice together wherever i wanted

any open source "window movie makers" out there?

now that i have split the file in half I have no audio. I have double checked all the settings that were recommended and I even went into full mode to see if that would help, but no go. Any clues what to try??

Woah! How much space do you need? I'm trying to remove about 10 minutes from an avi file (most of the end credits) but no matter how much room I make, the process runs out of hard disk space!

is there another way of doing that? (I'm basically following the above steps - but only making the first cut/save since I don't want or need to save the end credits). Thanks.

Does splitting an avi lose any quality when saving the two split parts? I assume that it would, but I am not exactly sure how it works, so i thought it best to ask.

Babak: it would seem to me you're using 'full processing mode' instead of 'direct stream copy'. if you are indeed using full processing mode because you must, you should select another codec or play with the quality settings until you obtaina desired file size/quality ratio.

andrewvinci: as long as you use 'direct stream copy' it shouldn't lower the quality. if you use 'full processing mode' it will lower the quality even if you select very high quality settings. (of course in this case it will be almost imperceptible the difference in quality)

hey thanks man but could this help me upload it on youtube? i really want to upload the tokyo drift movie in youtube thanks
