what is the best program to cut AVI and MPEG files

[Ace2]

TMPGEnc may be the best but its a pain in the ass since it keeps seeking the source file so am tired of that one and Virtualdub never gives me audio on ly cut parts so i am tired of that also
lol

thx

I do not recommend to edit a MPEG at all. If you have to edit a MPEG by all means M2-Edit might be the best choise. A free and good solution to cut a MPEG is bbMPEG.
To edit avi files use VirtualDub, because it is superb. I you want spend money, try Adobe Premiere.

I am going to 2nd that recommendation. M1-Edit & M2-Edit do an excellent job. If you don't need to edit MPEG-2 files, save a lot of money off of M2-Edit and get M1-Edit. You make the upgrade later if you need.

Hi thx for the info
but like i said i used virtualdub for my Avi and that one never includes my audio work all day on that program to get my sound when i have the cut part but i never got my sound so i dont think that his program is going to do it
bbMPEG doesnt cut it at all it only converts AVI to MPEG and i already got that done
and adobe premier takes ages to do something with that prog

but thx anyway for the help

it looks like i got a serious problem
lol

If you have audio problems, decompress the audio first.

Truman
one last question i managed to save the sound from the avi file
but what do i do with this now
do i suppose i cut it also
and then after that ?
do i use these when i convert to mpeg or for what do i use this wav file

oh yeah before i forget it when i want to make a video cd with easy cd or nero they both say something is wrong with the file easy cd says something about system clock reference
and idea what this is

thx again for the help

[Ace2]

Never mind about the last post i managed to cut the sound also
but whever i join it with the movie then it doesnt match the sound comes faster then the movie
so when somebody closes a door then i hear the sound before i see it
any guide how to fix this i found one on divx digest but that one isnt right since what i calculate is 0 wich isnt possible and i did it correct

except for this since i dont know what this means

when i want to make a video cd with easy cd or nero they both say something is wrong with the file easy cd says something about system clock reference
and idea what this is


thx again

I just got Myflix cutter and joiner, it works well, only mpeg tho, audio video sync only off slightly after the cut. And it's not free.

or you may want to simply look at what compresion scheme you are using when you cut files in avidub. if you use direct stream copy, if no audio is 'checked' you still won't get audio. 'check' avi audio or use a full compression scheme.
