How to take a short clip from a long mpeg file?
Dear Experts,
Recently, I wound up the digital TV recorder, and let it run overnight while I slept. Now there is a great big MPG file of everything on my computer's hard drive. But I only want to keep a short clip. How can I extract the few minutes, save that to file, and discard the rest? Thanks a lot! |

Something like Ulead DVD MovieFactory 5 or VideoStudio 10 might
do it, as would many other common video editing apps. Dear Experts, Recently, I wound up the digital TV recorder, and let it run overnight while I slept. Now there is a great big MPG file of everything on my computer's hard drive. But I only want to keep a short clip. How can I extract the few minutes, save that to file, and discard the rest?

I doubt they even have a customer service department. A better alternative would be Womble's MPEG-VCR: http://www.womble.com/products/vcr.html It is very effective, just as fast and accurate ... and they offer very good and responsive customer service. I highly recommend it. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

The Womble product is in fact a good product. Both it and Video re-do are appropriate for the task comptemplated. Can't speak to the support issue, but I would not really expect it to be necessary to have much or any contact with support on a product like this. |

Their forum was one that really worked, and Dan even followed up forum posts with e-mails on occasion. Perhaps our Mr. "VideoReDo Sucks" had some problem with the commercial side of "Customer Service", the "technical support" side has been much better than most I've come across. Another thing is; VideoReDo is a relatively straight forward limited function, dedicated to cut & paste editing ( and some added tools to support that function) program. It is not a complex or hard to use editor. Basically if you need to make some adjustment, change from the defaults, you should know what is making the change necessary, and then VRD makes such changes easy and straight forward. I guess my point is that you don't need a lot of tech support, if your program works, in a fashion the user's expect. Of course, there is always someone who can't live with a program that doesn't work in the manner they think it should. Womble's products are pretty good, but VRD also does a good job in terms of improving the lip-sync and technical conformity of MPEG files. Womble had an advantage in how it handled audio, but the recent versions of VRD have addressed that for the most part. Having both is the way to go if you can afford it. For the purpose of this thread, VideoReDo would be my choice, without hesitation. Luck; Ken |

Their forum was one that really worked... That's exactly what I was going to point out. Every single time I've had a VideoReDo question, I've either found that it was already answered on the forum or someone answered it within a day -- usually within 8 hours. None of this is any knock on any Womble product. For all I know, they're even better than VRD. But I know which one I'm happy using, and which one has given me perfectly acceptable support. |

What about my post seemed biased. Did I not state that VRD is a good product? I simply stated that I had a problem with customer service, more to the point the lack of customer service. So much so that I registered the internet domain videoredosucks.com I've not put a web page up at that site yet and I may never do so, but at least I have the email address. I still am a licensed user of VRD and I use it regularly. I am a licensed user of the Womble product also and I use it on a regular basis as well. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
