Feature Request ; Cut the movie into x pieces

[mixanobios]

First of all, congratulations for your perfect tool. I have a suggestion to make; is it possible to add a "cut final avi into x (2) equal pieces" option?thanks

[UHT]

equal in terms of? playing time, file size, key frames?

[TheWEF]

e.g. when encoding divx3 the program has exact data (stats and ecf) about keyframe position and filesize progression. divx4 writes this suff into analyze.log. it wouldn't be too difficult to cut the file in two or three equal pieces.
BUT ONLY if the audio was cbr. we don't have any data about size-progression in the vbr-audio file.
(or does anybody have a good idea?)
so it could be implemented for ac3-sound, but not for mp3.

wef.

btw: no development atm. i got other things to do...

Equal in terms of size. Maybe nandub's "go to last keyframe of x MB" could be utilized.

problem with that feature is that it can't be accessed from outside nandub.. you'd actually have to "remote-control" it and that kinda stuff makes it dangerous to use your pc when you're ripping.. you could accidentally stop the process when you click or press a button at the wrong moment when a task switch occurrs.

ok thanks.

and this nandub function has the same problem with vbr-audio. i tried, but never get the correct size. do you?

noap, i never get the file size i want. Is there any tool that cuts avi's at a specified size, or just gives us the number of the last keyframe at that size? we could use that number to cut the avi with nandub couldn't we?

[Doom9]

actually.. I got the size I wanted. OF course.. it can't be completely accurate because of the simple fact that you can only cut at a keyframe.. but with nandos tips (enter a value 2mb smaller) it worked reasonably well.. with vbr audio
