how to split files created in gk

[slider17]

hi there

just a quick question.

how do you split an encoded xvid video file into two parts. in other words extract video from point a to point b, without the need to recompress the video.
can this be done during the initial encoding process using auto gk or Gk standalone??

please help

thanks

virtualDub can do it. The download and guide can be found on this site

AutoGK automatically splits files when you've selected outputsize bigger than 1CD (predefined sizes). If you manually select 1400MB, it won't split automatically.

Splitting .avi's:
I VDub, just mark start/stop position with home/end button.
File -> Save As (somethings like that). Remember to select "Direct Stream Copy" in the bottom of the "Save as" dialog.

There's 2 different questions

To split an encode into 2 cd using GK, tick the split into cd's box ;)

To do it manually, you can use vdubmod(which is what AGK and GK use in the first place). A/v sync issues are caused by splitting on a non-keyframe, solve this by using the slider while pressing the shift key only. This will keep you on keyframes. (basically : press home, shift and slide to split part, press end, save as part 1 in direct stream copy, press home again, go to end of file,press end, save as part 2 again)

To rip part of a movie, you can use the trim(startframe, endframe) function of avisynth with GK. Note down the start and end frame of the portion you want encoded, and insert it in the avisynth script, by using the edit button in the save and encode tab.
Or you can select start and end with DGindex while making the project [ ] buttons, IIRC.
