What is the quickest way to split a small mpeg file eg. 300MB, without having to re-render it all again. Is it possible to quickly chop off say 2-3 minutes from the end (like cropping a picture?)
I have sony vegas but this takes ages to load->edit->render, is there a faster way?
First time you use it, it's a good idea to set Environment and VFAPI
options. See the guide for it in the Guides section here on Afterdawn.
But basically to save a slice of mpg you open the program and hit Cancel to get rid of the wizard. Then in File Menu select Mpeg Tools, Merge and Cut Tab. Load a file in the dialog, select Edit, and use the slider
to select start and end points of the clip you want to write to disk.
I have downloaded TMPGEnc plus to try the method you suggested - everything is ok with the "merge & cut" page, but after I have added the file to the list and click "edit" tmpenc freezes?
If I load a very small file, ie. 2MB it works ok and then after that I can load the larger files, but I don't know why its crashing.
I looked through some faq posts on this site and they said change priorites of items in the "environment" section but this didn't seem to help?
I just have to remember to load a tiny file first or it freezes up
Any suggestions?
