How do I edit a movie file (mpeg) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Arc101 · 08-27-2003, 02:42 PM

I have a mpeg movie file I want to cut in half so I can e-mail it to a friend. Anyone know any good programmes which can do this - idiot proof if possible.

its not really editing, but if you just want to break the file down into pieces small enough to email, use Mastersplitter

its easy and will make a batch file that will reassemble the file on your buddies' machine without him having to have the program.

just google Mastersplitter and you will find a free download site like Tucows or Cnet or the like.

If you just want to split the thing to send (I am assuming you will mail one half, then the other) then you can just rar it and set the file size to whatever the max file size is of your friend's mail server.

www.rarsoft.com
when you add the movie to the archive, choose "split to volume, bytes" and enter the size in bytes there.

I definately second that one.

If you have Quicktime Pro on your machine you can just set your in and out points, then hit Ctrl-C to copy that, then make a new player and paste it in. Then you can save it/export it/whatever. I don't do much of this, so there may be a better way, but that's a pretty easy way to get it done.

Yea you just need to download one of those things. You can do anything with a program =P
