Program to manually split multiple parts of same avi?

[majax79]

I have a 1:30 movie and I want to take about four 10-30 second clips and have them joined together.

Is there a program that will allow me to split more than one part and auto combine them?

I know that I could use many programs like virtualdub, etc... to split each clip and then when I got all 4 clips split, I could use another joiner program and join them together but I was hoping there was a program that could shorten the time it'll take me.

You're thinking about it the wrong way. Don't take out the pieces you want - Remove the pieces you don't want. Then just save. Really simple with VirtualDub.

Thank you for explaining it to me.
I did try it that way but for some reason I can't remove what I don't want.

I just tried finding a tutorial on how to perform this specific procedure and I couldn't locate one.

Do you know if such a tutorial exist?

Thanks again for your help.

Using the slider, go to the first frame you want out. Select Mark In. Move it to the last you want to get rid of, hit Mark Out. Press Delete. Repeat until what remains is what you want to keep. Mostly this only works for cutting at key frames, which are 300 frames apart in your regular AVI. But:
If you use the latest virtualdubmod (I think it is) as it has "smart rendering" so will allow for direct stream even if you must cut at non key frames, only reencoding the area around the cut.

Cool, thanks for the help.

Ok, just tried everything and it worked great.

I had to go into Video > Compression and change it to Divx.

Does anyone use cut assistant?
