Thread: anyone knows how to split videos

what free software to use?
i am getting frastrated
file is wmv file.

do you want to split them up to rar them for emailing them?

Pretty sure Windows Movie Maker will do it and it is free. If not there are plenty of other tools out there that will split video files. Just make sure the company/maker has good feedback and the software can handle WMVs.

I have no experience with it but google yielded this and this.

I am in this trouble since yesterday. i made video but it is large almost 500mb.now i tried upload in here it is too big.tried youtube same problem. File is wmv form i have used usp video and recorded. I can spilt it as file but no one can open untill they use same program which i split to join them. windos movie maker does split but doesn't save it. i can't save split files in any folder? Anyone know how to do it i will do so.
too big to email.

I use virtualdub for the initial splitting, then moviemaker for simple tasks, or Premiere Pro for more complex stuff (especially if you need multiple sound tracks).

EDIT: VD is free, and a video compressor is included.

I would use ffmpeg. Failing that, Open Movie Editor is a useful FOSS tool.

they doc programms or God knows what is it.

If you already have Windows Movie Maker on your computer it is the easiest way to go. Just import the video into a new project, cut it into pieces (the split button is right there on the main screen) then drop each piece onto the story board one at a time and publish them. When you publish it lets you choose the file size and format so you can go even lower quality if space is a concern.

EDIT: You need to remove the main file from the story board first and must publish them one piece at a time though... that might be where you were messing up.

it splits only 2 peaces then what? will you come chat room and help me out on this
