How can you cut an avi file?

[jpintar]

I'm interested in cutting an avi file so that I can back it up on CD (too big for 1 CD). I'd prefer not to convert it because the avi file plays perfectly on my computer but when I convert AVIs to mpeg, I sometimes get audio/video sync probems. Not much point in making a VCD anyway since my stand-alone DVD player cannot play CDRW created VCDs. Everything I read about cutting in these forums involves mpeg but is there a software that will quickly and easily cut an avi file?

maybe before saying you have read everything you ought to try reading the edit section of this site and look for avi chop. There are several other programs out on the web try searching.

you can cut an avi file with adobe premiere, but the program will encode the file, however you can ecode it as divx, it is still an avi file than
