cutting avi file in several pieces by configuration file

[boundone]

hi,
is there a prog which allows to cut an avi file into several pieces
by configuration file?

for example, i have a 700 mb avi with 95 min of video. i want to
make a config file like the following

testvid1.avi 0:00 4:00
testvid2.avi 4:01 12:03
testvid2.avi 12:04 21:15
..
..
..

and let the cutter run. does any program or for example virtualdub
support this?

thanks!

yes, you can very well do this in VD, you would have to do some maths though:scared::

- load your file in VD
- set video and audio to 'direct stream copy' (or whatever you like)
- open your favorite text editor to write your script
- determine the range of each part of your video, you will need
start offset in ms from beginning of video and
end offset in ms from _end_ of video
- write your script, eg for a 3 sec video to be cut into 3 clips of 1 sec each:
VirtualDub.video.SetRange(0,2000);
VirtualDub.SaveAVI("F:\\MyMovies\\testvid1.avi");
VirtualDub.video.SetRange(1040,1000);
VirtualDub.SaveAVI("F:\\MyMovies\\testvid2.avi");
VirtualDub.video.SetRange(2040,0);
VirtualDub.SaveAVI("F:\\MyMovies\\testvid3.avi");
- run your script with File/Run script...

Of course you could also include the file opening and settings to your script.
