How do I edit commercials out of my mpeg1 files

[Hoffa]

I have powerdirector 2.0 trial and Ulead Visualstudio 6.0 full

I have no idea how to use them though

If someone could give me a quick lesson on how to do this I would be very appreciative.

Thank you

To break a clip into multiple files:
1. Select a clip from the Library or Timeline.
2. Click and drag a Trim handle to set the trim
position.
3. Click Save Trimmed Video.
4. You now have two different physical video
files on your hard disk, the original file and a
trimmed copy.
Notes:
• To rename a thumbnail, click the name of the thumbnail
to modify.
• Dragging a clip from the Timeline to the Trash only
removes the thumbnail. The original video file is not
affected.

More info in the manual, available as a PDF file at:

Illustrated, nice to have.

I am unfamiliar with the exact to do it in the 2 programs you specified however if I was attempting to remove clips from an mpeg1 file I would use TMGEnc or M-1 or M-2 Edit. TMPG is free and can be found here ->

M-1 or M-2 Edit is not free but has additional functions however TMPG can do the job without a problem...go to file > mpeg tools > merge and cut (the last tab)

You probably knew all this and just wanted to use the programs you specified but hell, I just wanted to make sure
