Free Video Splitter?

Hi NBR,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good free programs that can split HD video. The purpose of this is for youtube. I tried the program which was mentioned in the free software list, but unfortunately, it does not support .mp4.

If not free, are there any good ones that are worth the money?

Thanks,
Vedya

 

Have you tried Windows Live Movie Maker?

Windows Live Movie Maker should work, you may need to install this chances are your .MP4 file is a H264 variant.

I know lots of free programs that can do this kind of stuff, virualdub should also work well, and Avidemux has a built in editor (uses virtualdub I think)

For any real editing you need a non linear editor and the best one for the money I think is Sony Vegas. You can find the lower versions pretty cheap and it will let you cut/edit your footage.

Most programs will require you to encode the video when your done (like windows movie maker) so you lose quality and if you just wanted to cut 1 minute off a 10 minute film you may have to wait 20 minutes for the encoding process. If your just doing a simple trim like the start/end points of a clip you can do non destructive editing that will not recode the video, this is something virtualdub can do.

 

Thanks for your suggestions. I downloaded Windows Media Maker, and I made the neccesary partitions. How do I save those partitions as individual files? Do they spilt automatically when I select "save video as"?

 

Publish movie I think.

Edit: Save movie.

 

AVI DeMux. If it can play it, it can cut it, without re-encoding.
