Good utility to snip a video clip out of an AVI or MPG file?

Ben E Lou · 11-13-2005, 04:00 PM

I'm playing with my TV tuner card. It records big ol' files. I'd like to snip out some clips. Software?

so your tuner card saves it in avi or mpg? i'd use mpg2vcr, it's pretty simple to use, I think it's still got a free version. This should do avi's.

Use www.videohelp.com and go through their edit guides, that should give you some good stuff. Also doom9 . org.

It can save as either one.

If you have XP you should have the default Windows Movie Maker software already installed. It's nothing special, but it will do what you're asking for.

Are you sure that is not just the media center edition? I have XP and had to download movie maker. I second it as an easy to use, good choice for light video editing.

It's on my home PC which is a standard WinXP Home Edition and I don't remember downloading it, but it might've been part of the SP2 upgrade, or perhaps it was something I added in a regular Windows Update.

Regardless, you can get it free from the MS site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...viemaker2.mspx
