Is there a way to remove the beginning few seconds and ending few seconds from an AVI file without having to recode the whole thing?!
I have been playing with Premiere, VirtualDub, some Corel (Ulead) product and some Cyberlink product (names forgotten) and all of them have generated this massive multi-gig file many times larger than the source file. I managed to deliberately set DivX compression in a couple of these, but then the sound is all out of sync and stuttery!
Someone told me this is due to mixed (hybrid) FPS within the file, but if this is the case, any tool I ever use to determine FPS insists it's either 100% one or the other, so what gives?!

With VirtualDub, click 'Video' => 'Direct stream Copy' then remove the unwanted frames and save the output.
With direct stream copy there is no recoding and the new file cannot be larger than the original.

Thanks attar. I've been struggling with this for 2 weeks and you solved it using freeware no-less. Can't think of a simpler or better outcome than that!
