As a newbie and an OAP, I have managed to master downloading movies and converting to DVDs and I now want to try splitting AVI files. After a lot of research, I have tried both VirtualDub and Super Video Splitter. Unfortunately, when I split a 700MB AVI, I ended up with 2 AVI files of 12GB and 15GB which causes disk space problems! Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

Virtual dub should work just fine. Just make sure you don't re-encode the video at all.

Thanks. I have tried again with VirtualDub following the Afterdawn "Guide to spltting AVIs using Virtualdub" and tried to extract the first 15 minutes of an AVI file but ended up with a new AVI file of 13.6GB. Do you think I am unknowingly re-encoding the video, and if so have I avoid doing that?

Are you following this part?
Quote:
Go to Video menu and select Direct Stream Copy
If you are chosing direct stream copy it should be working correctly.
Remember to check also that Direct Stream Copy is selected from Audio menu as well.
You will know if you havent selected "Direct Stream Copy" because it will take a long time to incode, but with direct stream copy selected in both video and audio it will process pretty fast.

Many thanks for your patience, I'll try again. One question, when I have marked the section, do I save as AVI, save old format AVI or save segmented AVI?
