What are some good video editing programs?

[NoCalMike]

So I downloaded a movie, and I went to burn it and it says the file is too big. I was hoping it would either let me just burn as much it could fit onto one disc or just offer to let me put it on two discs, but alas this is default software we are talking about here, lol.

 

So anyways, I am looking for a good, fairly easy to use program that will let me trim down the video size. Lets just say it's a porn movie I downloaded, lol. So Basically I just want the video to be the useful scenes, and dump the rest.

 

Anyone have any recommendations?

If you're looking to just cut the file in half HJ Split works. It will rename the file *.mpg001 and *.mpg002, just take the numbers off the ends.

 

If you're looking to cut scenes I have AVI MPG WMV Splitter (great name i know) but it's really fast about splitting files. The only problem i've encountered with it is with avi files the audio seems to be out of snyc, but that could just be my computer fucking it up.

All you want to do is split it? Do you use Windows? Windows Movie Maker would probably work fine

Virtual Dub is another great one

Depends on the type/codec of the file. Some editors have an easier time loading up certain videos than others.

 

If you're burning an MPG to put on a VCD like you were talking about in the other thread, the TMPGenc program I reccomended will take care of that. In the wizard there's a checkbox option called Source Range, and it allows you set the beginning and end point of the video that you want to convert to MPG. So you can make a two part or whatever.
