HOW TO REMOVE silence parts from a video?

[astamiga]

As i ask on the topic, i have some videos and they have some minutes without sound in them.
I want to remove this minutes from the videos without seperate the audio from video and disrupt the sync.

What is the easiest way?

To add audio (musical interlude, or narration, for example) you can use audacity with the ffmpeg plugin installed and overwrite the silences. To edit the video as a whole we need to know the format.

Not like that. i won't add a sound. I have some videos in .AVI format and i want to remove the parts in which teacher doesn't speak.
I want to delete silence minutes from the video.

I have been trying to use Sound Forge ''Auto Trim / crop'' feature.
But i dont know how it works.

Sound forge cleaned the silence parts and merged the video but saving the file lasts very long with SSD and it usually gives fail at about %1 or %2 of the process.

Sound forge will not work. It is only audio tool. if you cut silence part you have to reauthor video and it will loose sinc because of cuts in sound.
You need video editor to do what you want. Check VideoHelp for software. I use TMPGEnc Mastering Works5, it will do what you are after.

Free Video Editor

Free Video Editor shows the video and audio parts seperately but there is no feature to cut the silence parts automatickly.

AFAIK no video editor will cut out the silent parts automatically, I've only seen that function in audio editors.

Load your video into free Video Editor and cut out the parts where the waveform is flat. TMPGenc Mastering Works 5 is even better, Vegas Movie Studio is better still.
