 |
|
Can someone recommend a program to split and join video files
(WITHOUT re-encoding them)? I prefer something small and
simple that can handle the most common file types (including
Windows Media). |

This is dependant on what format of video files your talking about and what type of compression it uses.

For my part, I am interested for divx, xvid or anything avi-like...
This seems like a job for transcode but I can't find a parameter for it nor a simple GUI to mask it.
I would like to be able to specify : cut this 750 Mb file into three pieces : first of 10Mb, second of 730 Mb and third of 10Mb (for example). Is there a simple way for that ? |

All kinds of Windows video file splitters and joiners exist
(as well as mp3 splitters that work on Linux). Someone
must know of something. :( |

| If you just need to split them (for burning or something), and don't need to play them while split but want to join them back together later you can probably use split and cat. They come with linux, man them. |

Too easy. :) No, I do want to separate a large file into smaller pieces
that can play independently (and sometimes join smaller files into one
big one to play as one file). |

Avidemux is the Linux clone of VirtualDub. I've used it. It rocks.

in the transcode package you can find the tools avisplit and avimerge to cut/join avis.
For mpegs I would recommend mpgtx.
both transcode and mpgtx are in portage.
