Editing Avi Files

[hungrylilboy]

whats the simplest and most easy program to use to simply cut off the end of an avi file?

[4th gen]

VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/)

how big is it, most likely will fit but you have to turn on over burn

and easy video splitter works good, but again you shouldn't have to modify any movie you download to adjust for size for it to fit on a normal cdr

[4th gen]

Open VirtualDub and drop in your video file:

Move the time bar to your desired start time and click on the "start offset" arrow, as shown here:

Then move the bar to the desired end time and click the "end offset" arrow:

Then you have to choose your video compression. Go to video>compression and select a codec:

Then just save the file in your desired location:

Do as 4th gen as said but before you save it DON'T pick a codec just make sure under video/audio the dot is on direct stream then save.
