Need to cut a divx .avi file into 2 parts. What software on a mac can do?

[caipirina]

a) yes, I followed galactica's advice and did a forum search first .. but only found hints at win software.

b) the question: i have a 700 MB divx file, which i would love to burn to VCD .. toast tells me I need 1.02 GB space for that (uh?) .. well .. so i guess easiest would be to cut the 700 MB divs into 2 parts of 350 ... is there any way of doing that fairly easy with re-rendering, decrompressing / recompressing?

Thanks a bunch

VCD needs more bytes per second than DivX to store movie information, so the conversion from DivX to VCD would increase the file size.

You could try Explicit Avi Cutter to split your DivX file.

Try the tools option in either ffmpegX or D-Vision.

Wow .,. THANKS ... explicit seems to be doing EXACTLY what I wanted to do .. and it is SO easy to use .. it even sets the middle point itself and all i had to do was click OK and after a very short while i had 2 files apply called part 1 and part 2 ... thanks ... i love this forum!

Would be nice to have a visual aid to deciding where to make the cut (other than QT or D-Vision) while still having exact time code. QT shows time, but won't save without reencoding. D-Vision doesn't show exact time, and in my experience, often makes the actual split a long way from the point chosen. (due to widely spaced key frames perhaps?)

Is it possible to get MPEG Streamclip to split xvid?
