Need to split HD video saved in avi mode.

[jones24]

It's around 8.7GB. I need to split it in half dvd 5 size.

At my wits end. I tried several programs and they could not work like Avidemux 2.5 and TSSplitter.

TSSpliiter managed to split into half but my player could not even read both files it was split into.


More info about this video.It's part of the file name, Bluray1080p, DTSHD,x264_CHD.avi

I guess it's a blu ray movie saved in avi format.

I have also searched on doom9 forums and tried a few programs but they did not work, like avidemux would open the file and during processing just simply close.

Thanks a lot.

Probably could use vdub in stream mode copy.

The file name is irrelevant.

What video and audio codec in the avi? Identify using mediainfo.

Well i thought the video's info is in the file's name?


I will use the program.

[jones24]

Using mediainfo. This is the info i garnered from my file.

Video info is:

9 160Kbps, 1920 x 1080 at 24.000fps, AVC (High@L4.1)(CABAC/4 Ref Frames)

Audio info is:


1 510Kbps, 48.0 KHZ, 6 channels, DTS

What did Mediainfo say about the container? Was it really AVI? If so, you can use VirtualDub. Open the file, select Video -> Direct Stream Copy, use Mark-in and mark-out to mark the first half of the video, then use File -> Save as AVI to save that clip. Use, mark-in and mark-out to mark the second half, Save as AVI. Or you can use a similar procedure with AviDemux.

Its an mkv movie that the op d/l and is trying to figure out how to burn it and play it using multiple threads,If you have followed any of the advice you were given you would have been able to re-encode the mkv and authored to blu-ray and burned to dual layer.

Your wrong here. That other file has already been split and burned into 2 dvd 5s and saved as mkv.

You can see here i specifically wrote avi file.

The reason why i started this thread is because the program i used to split the mkv file doesn't even detect the avi hence it cannot be used on it.

On my 1st post i already stated i used a couple of programs before posting this. I seldom like to wait and would rather do things fast.


Thanks for the help to the rest of the other posters.

I already managed to split it up using V dub.

There's a problem though. Even though the file is 8.7 which means it will work out to 4.35 if divided by 2 i somehow get it wrong. I mean i divide the total number of frame rates by 2 or the total amount of time by 2 and when i do that i get 2 files of uneven sizes. Right now i have 1 file that is 4.27GB and the other is 4.43. Hence 1 file cannot fit unto a dvd 5.

DO not wish to use a dvd9 on such a small file hence i would like to resize the other 4.43GB file into 4.35GB.

Can someone teach me how to do it with V dub? Or do i need to use another program? Thanks

In a VBR encoded video two halves by time don't necessarily make two halves by size. Try using VirtualDubMod. It shows the byte position as well as the time.

I also recommend you mark in/out only on a key frame. Hold down a shift key while scrubbing to only stop on key frames.

Thanks for this info. I however, do not wish to split the file anymore. I have already split it. One is 4.27GB the other 4.43. I now need some help in resizing the 4.43 file into 4.35GB. The other file at 4.27 is already burnt to a dvd5.

You can re-encode it or trim some of the ending credits off

yes how do i re-encode it using V dub? Since there's no option there to help re code it for dvd 5 size.

[poisondeathray]

I would start over and cut it properly so both fit

Re-encoding will take a few hours and you will lose quality, and presumably this is already 2nd generation

If you wanted to re-encode it, vdub only exports in avi container, and you have to use x264vfw which is a very clunky way of doing it. Search the guides for how to do this in vdub, but I would use another program if I was going to re-encode. An easy one to use would be ripbot264

I already burnt the 2nd half. The 1ts half is slightly larger> i'll just recode it to the correct size using this ripbot.


I d/led FFmpeg which is a transcoder thing for this x264.

okay i already d/led this ripbot thing. Am using it now. About 3hrs + to complete the job of 1 hr long film(the other half has been burnt)

Okay firstly ripbot doesn't even have an option to select what size i want my file to be. The last thing i want is 3 hrs later the file is larger than a single layer dvd then i'm essectialy back to sq 1.

[jones24]

okay the x264 thing has no installation. VDub doesn't even have it under compression. I found out u need to activate it using a command line or a BAT file. I have no clue how to use it.


I'm so close now.

Just need to select it under compression under Vdub.

[jagabo]

For VirtualDub: x264vfw

[jones24]

Okay i finally got i encoding after reading this guide.

I did not use Lame to encode the audio i just left it by itself.


I still need help on using lame though. Lame does not have any installer and i cannot get VDUB to find lame files by itself. How do i get vdub to know i have lame on my pc?

[jagabo]

I still need help on using lame though. Lame does not have any installer and i cannot get VDUB to find lame files by itself.

If I recall correctly, after downloading the files and extracting them to a folder, right click on the .INF file and select Install. You might have to do this as Administrator.

There's a problem i cannot even find the inf file and there's no install option. I am using vista.

Which version of LAME did you download? (Edit: and by 'version' I meant 'package.' As minidv2dvd pointed out, you should have the ACM version of LAME. )

In Windows' Explorer, are you sure you have the "Hide extensions for known file types" off? Windows tends to have this option ON by default, and it'll do just that - hide extensions. Of many types of files.
To make sure it's off, go to the Tools menu, select Folder Options. In the window that opens, click on the View tab, and under Advanced Settings, find the checkbox next to "Hide extensions for known file types" and make sure it isn't checked, then click OK.

click on the beta download save the zip where you'll be able to find it. unzip. right click on the inf and choose install.
