Using Matroska splitter or related

[Blå_Mocka]

Could someone explain to me how this matroska splitter work
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Matroska_Splitter.htm
after register its activeX from the AX-file what do i do next? step by step please

Where is the programs GUI? shall i right klick on the matroska files and do something? the goal is to have
a preview screen and splitt out small parts, i dont know if this is the right software for that...i dont know if there is any such softwares anywhere by the way

The mkv i intend to splitt uses a "MPEG4 ISO advanced" codec according to videoinspector, and the correct codec is impossible to find on internet for me offcorse acording to videoinspector "REALmagicMPEG-4VideoCodec1.1_W2K" is not right, even thou it claims it can be
Other possibilities could be to use "MKVtoolnix" but that i doubt i could ever learn how it work by myself, even with its manual

That is a codec splitter and not any cutter.

Try instead avidemux, set start and stop, save as a new mkv.

Just noticed a new tool, SplitMKV, was posted to the Tools section - would that do it, too?

Yes i allways use avidemux, noticed now there is a new version a bit late
however it didnt help to upgrade, when it try to load this mkv file the program pretty emiditetley execute itself in the beginning of the process, so either i really miss some codec installed, or this file is corrupted, and then we must begin talk mkv repair tools instead

I didnt understand that program, splitMKV.exe opened a dos-window for 2 seconds then dissapeared? i find no instruction for this tool? are you gonna be this instructor instead?

Umm... From the Tools page for SplitMKV:

splitMKV is a command line tool, but since it uses default split size of 4000MiB you can just drag & drop your MKV/AVI files on splitMKV.exe. Or use it from the command line, example: splitMKV.exe d:\test\movie.mkv or split every 700MB example 2: splitMKV.exe d:\test\movie.mkv /split:700

It's a command-line (CLI) tool, so you have to use it from the "command prompt" (can't remember what it's called in XP off the top of my head, this morning, but it's probably about the same) - or by using the command in Start > Run (though you'll have to supply the path to the command (C:/SplitMKV/SplitMKV.exe, for example).

By default, it apparently splits an MKV roughly every four gigabytes (a bit less, actually) - so if that's what you want, all you'd have to do is drag and drop your MKV onto splitMKV.exe. If you want a different size, it's a little more complicated. Open a command-line window in the folder where splitMKV.exe is located, then all you have to do is tell it where the video you want it to split is located. So, if you want to split movie.mkv, located in the 'test' folder on drive D:, every 700 megabytes, then you'd type: splitMKV.exe d:\test\movie.mkv /split:700

A GUI could probably be easily created for the program, but I wouldn't know how to do it.

I think it works, place all the files from the Gui in the same directory as the splitmkv

hope this helps

Okay, thats to complicated for me then, i need preview screen cutting, the input is on 450 Mb, so it wont be any 700 Mb here anyway

So basicly "Avi demux" is the only alternative if you wanna do small 2 Mb peaces and later merge together
if it crash during load is the only conclusion that the mkv is corrupted? can something else be done to prevent it

Why did I lost my time ?

Do you want a gui ? I gave you one

Sorry i forgott to mention preview-screen above

perhaps theres tools for converting mkv to other formats? then i can get my avidemux preview-screen atleast
no standard converters seem to to like mkv inputs
