Remove a portion of a movie?

[Wackyphill]

I have an HD-DVD that I've backup up to an mkv file. Can AviSynth be used cut out a portion of the movie, like say the credits at the end and then save the result to a new mkv file?

The purpose would be to conserve some space. Can any one tell me if this is possible?

Right that filter looks like what I want. My problem is if I use it in an avs file won't it just alter the playback of the original mkv file?

How can I get it to write out a new mkv file w/ the result of the avs script?

Avisynth isn't for stuff like this. Didn't you use Avisynth in the first place when backing up the disc?

You will need to use something like MKVtoolnix. AVIdemux, I think can do it also.

No I used eac3to. I thought MKVtoolnix was just for adding or removing files from an mkv. I didn't think it could cut portions of them.

Yes, if you drag in the source file(s) (a complete mkv can be a source as well as the elementarys) then there is a splitting option in the global tab.
