Play Segment

[FaiTCRaH]

There is a way to play only a segment of a video?

How do you define "segment"?
You want to play your video from time/frame X to time/frame Y or you mean something else?

exactly as you said

If there isn't any application for this, you can do that with avisynth (of course you have to install all the necesarry directshow codecs and splitters to play this way):

sample script:
DirectShowSource("file.avi")
trim(startframe, endframe)

Exactly as chros said.

Supposing your video is an avi file:

Step1: Install Avisynth:

Step 2: Create an empty text file, then change the "txt" extension to "avs" and put these two lines in the file:

AVISource("c:\your_file.avi")
trim(1000,2000)

Then replace c:\your_file.avi with the correct file name and path for your video and replace 1000 with the first frame and 2000 with the last frame you want to play.
If you put 0 for the last frame, it's the same as "end of clip". You also need to have a decompressor installed, so install ffdshow or some other codec pack.

Step. 3. Drag and drop (or simply open) the avs file into any video player you want, for example Media Player Classic and it should play only the segment as specified in trim.
