Splitting an .avi file,help please!

euglycaemia

I have a video file [.avi format] and I need part of it for a presentation.

I tried HP split/join software which allows splitting based on the file size.........but is it possible to split the file from a particular point to other /For example from min 2.34 to 2.45?

Would the split file be in the avi format?

Please help

Cutting an AVI file is easy with the free VirtualDub. Note it's not always possible to cut exactly on a per second basis - it depends on where the keyframes are.

You can do it in video editing software. I've got Windows Moviemaker; there must be some freeware equivalent.

select setting, video raw uncompressed to keep it as an avi.

select point you want to split, then start from the menu

So can I use these software options to edit out commercials from a recorded movie - which one is the best?

I found this very simple and friendly..........Thanks very much for the help.

I also found Pinnacle Studio which I already had in my PC [been using for Video editing captured from camcorder] does similar job! It is also nice to add transitions and others!

Wow...I learnt something nice this weekend!!!
