Finding the middle point of a mpg

[bind]

Well i dont know if there is a simple math calculation for this but i have a movie im trying to split into 2 so i can fit it on 2 cd's but because im a little stupid i would much rather use a program to find the middle point for me... does something exist like this ??
my movie length is 1:55:02 if i use a basic calculator 15502 / 2 = 7751 or 77:51 is there a tool to simplify this ?

This is a joke, right? I especially like the time to decimal conversion and vice versa.

no this isnt a joke. i just want an easy way to do this..

bind,

use TEMPENc, Settings - advanced - source frame range, and simply find a good point to end. I usually try to find a fade out or non essential point in the encode process.

mark the start point and end point. Encode 1st disc.

for second disk - click the MOVE to end button, then select it as the stat frame and move the slider to the end of the film or whatever.

Maths does not come into it at all, well hardly.

Thanks TOMMO,
that meth seems to be the most efficent for what im doing..

I'm going to work under the assumation that you are not joking:

1sec is the base unit of time
60secs=1min
60min=1hr

So if you're movie is 1:55:02 long, that's:
1hr = 3600sec
55min = 3300sec
2sec = 2ec
=============
Total of 6902secs.

1/2 of that is 3451secs or 0:57:31.

Time is NOT a unit base 100 system. So 1:55:02 does not equal 15502 (what would be the units here?).
Notice that 77:51 = 1:16:51. No where near 1/2 of 1:55:02.

Just convert everything to seconds and you'll be fine. And don't take this the wrong way but... how old are you?

OR !

File > Mpeg Tools > Merge and Cut

Add > open mpeg file

Select file from window click edit

Move slider to end to get number of frames, divide this number by 2 (converted to minuets)


Select range

Start 000000 end (Your number)

Click OK

Type output file and click run

Movie is now exactly cut in half, do the same for the second half

Or use "M2 Edit" much better

Use m2-edit. Learning how to count is not required. Plus it corrects A/V sync problems for mpeg2 files with no offsets or guessing required.
