is there free tool do you use to split long mpg recordings (such as a 210 minute college football game)? i.e. u'd prob record in 'nedium' mode or what cbr value would u use? and then divide into 2 4.7 gb dvd's

Is that 30 minutes of play + 180 minutes of commercials?
![]() - If so Comcut might be an option. http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...ght=comcut - Otherwise I have used TMPGenc for small stuff (cut - under the 'tools' menu) but not for anything this big. I don't know how it would go. http://www.tmpg-inc.com/

video-redo is the thing for you...it even has it's own simple commercial detector
![]() i've found it to be the best thing for quick edits and cutting of shows...very nice interface and does a nice job at the cuts...it's pay, but very nice for this sort of thing..[and not too much $] or you could use mencoder and just give it a start and stop time and do a 'copy' for codec...[free]

The answer is it depends...
Are you looking to divide the files and then (for archive purposes) then join them later into one coherent file? If so I have had great success with the freeware HJsplit http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#win32 You can define the split file size to suit your needs and join the files later for viewing. Hope this helps. Regards, Kevin

i basically just want to put the a large mpg file such as movie.mpg that's 7 gb.
Split int into a 4.5 gb chuck and 2.5 gb chunk to fit on two discs. Burn the disk. and be done.
hmmm,it can only cut on a time so you'll have to figure out how much time you'll get on the first disc...or you could just devide the total time by 2 and use that..
Code: ffmpeg -i "%~1" -t %2 -target ntsc-dvd -acodec copy -vcodec copy "%~dpn1-1%~x1" cut.bat "movie.mpg" 1:30:00 -would cut the movie at 1hr. 30 mins.. giving you movie-1.mpg and movie-2.mpg ![]() forgot ffmpeg can do too...and you already have it... ![]()

pBS Wrote:hmmm,it can only cut on a time so you'll have to figure out how much time you'll get on the first disc...or you could just devide the total time by 2 and use that.. neat...i'll have to try it. is it dvd-compliant? i posted same question in dvdrhelp forum so i'll update u guys on if they had any other suggestions. dunno if mencoder is more reliable or ffmpeg. ======================================================= based on this wiki code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder: mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -ss 0 -endpos 700mb -o movie_part1.avi movie.avi as well as code from one of the comskip/comclean batch files.... my code is like this: ================== split-1sthalf.bat "c:\program files\mplayer\mencoder" -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -ss 0 -endpos 4500mb -o "movie_part1.mpg" "movie.mpg" ================== split-2ndhalf.bat "c:\program files\mplayer\mencoder" -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -ss 4490mb -endpos 8000mb -o "movie_part2.mpg" "movie.mpg" ================== this assumes that mencoder is stored in program files; that your movie is movie.mpg, and that it's 8000mb. my question is if anyone knows how to create a 1step batch program that will ask for input of file name/directory; find the file size or ask to manually input file size; divide it 2 to split between two dvd-r's w/ some overlapping time (i.e. 3s); and output the result as two new files. or, similar idea as above, but drag a mpg to batch file and it splits in two.
