I recorded 6 hours of video in avi format (91 gigs) using Virtual VCR and now I need to cut up that 6 hours into six 1 hour clips. I've tried using TMPGENC Plus, but when I select the source range and select the 'set start' and then try and move to the 'set end frame' the hard drive light just comes up and stays on forever and ever.
Is there another program out there that I can chop this video into 1 hours clips with that will not give me this problem?
I've had this same problem with much shorter avi files as well using tmpgenc.
Thanks!

You could try some of the freeware tools listed in the tools section to your left, maybe avichop. I would use a real editor for the chore. You could complete the job with a demo, try Editstudio it has a 30 day demo that will let you cut it down and save each segment back to disk. Or if you know how to work it, frame serve off to TMPGEnc for encoding. There are no water marks or anything on the demo, you should try the mpegXS encoder too as I think it does a wonderful job. The demo of mpegXS does have a watermark though, but it is worth a try for free. Like other things Editstudio will be linked to the tools section.

VirtualDub is working great and fast also...nothing like tmpgenc.
Thanks again all! -
tmpgenc probably would have worked in the end, you've got to remeber it was reading thru your file from the beginning, approx 15gb of avi per hour of recording. But not the best choice.

When Using VDUB, make sure you use Direct Stream Copy for both Audio and Video. You don't want to re-encode when cutting. You can frameserve to TMPGEnc if you need to, and save yourself some space with the cutts (you did say your alread using up 91 GB).
