Hi,
thanks for the advice. But what I want to know is that is it possible to delete parts of a movie without having to save the edited movie back to the hard drive? Meaning I want to open a video file, and just delete parts of it and not have to have extra memory to save the new file. Can that be done

or once Ive loaded the movie into virtualdub can I delete the movie, can I delete the movie off the hard drive so that there is memory to save the edited movie from virtualdub?

Nope. You must save as a new file. Use video->direct stream copy and audio->direct stream copy to avoid reconversion.

So its not possible to just delete the parts of the movie I dont want and not have to save the new file? Reason Im asking is Im out of memory on my hard disk. Is there anything I can do.

Free up some HD space.

Clear your temp. internet files folder, most people have several GB stored there

Clean out your recycle bin

Or buy another HD
