Tool to trim and cut streaming asf without re-encoding?

[Pojken Purken]

I've recorded some streaming asf audio with HiDownload. Is there any tool that will just let me trim off a few seconds at the beginning and then save the rest as is without having to re-encode all the audio again?

Moved to new container formats. If you want to trim just the audio, you could extract it with graphedit and cut it with besplit, assuming it is supported by besplit (AC3/DTS/AAC/MP3/MP2/MPA)

Thanks KpeX.

It's probably wma9 in the asf-file but I don't know how to tell for sure. I could need some tips on what filter combinations to use to extract the audio in Graphedit. The "File writer" won't connect to the "Raw audio 0"-pin of the asf-file. "Intervideo file writer" will but puts a "WMAudio Decoder DMO" in between and the resulting file is 10 times as big as the original asf-file and no program recognizes it. So I'm kinda stuck here... maybe time to move this thread over to "newbies" I guess ;-)

Uhm... 10 times bigger... maybe it's PCM-RAW.

Yes, that thought occured to me but I wasn't able to play the audio that way so I guess it lacked a header or something. Anyway, since this wasn't what I was after I didn't follow that road any further. I really just want the pure wma data and a small utility to trim it without re-encoding.

EDIT: Can confirm that it was PCM RAW. Still I want only the wma data.

I found asftools http://www.asftools.de/
Can cut to the nearest second... better than nothing.
