mkv cutter

[psp2me]

hi,

I try mkvtoolnix, it has a 'splitting' -> '...after this duration' option, but do not let me choose cutting timeframe function.

Do anyone know any mkv cutter software? Please let me know.


Thanks for help

By "function", do you mean something like "cut every X seconds" where X is a constant value? Or maybe "cut every N seconds" where N is a value belonging to an arithmetic/geometric progression? I really didn't quite get it.

Anyway, you might want to have a look at the mkvmerge cli executable that is being called by the GUI. The documentation is here (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/mkvmerge.html). Some basic shell scripting skills is all it takes to do anything your heart desires with it!

I have a tennis video and want to cut some great shots, so i want a software that can cut a segment file (random).

You could use the third splitting option in the GUI. That is, "...after timecodes:".

Here's a practical example. Let's say you have a 5min video and you want to extract two portions: 01min00sec-01min30sec and 02min30sec-03min30sec. You just enter the starting and ending timecodes of those portions in the GUI, separated by commas: 60s,90s,150s,210s. You will end up with five new files, named by default <ORIGINAL_FILENAME>-001.mkv ... <ORIGINAL_FILENAME>-005.mkv. Those numbered -002 and -004 will be the ones you want.
