The only program I found that can cut my mkv file is mkvtoolnix. But I have a small problem.

Please note, that everything else is identical, aside of the mkvtoolnix version used. original was made with mkvmerge v2.0.2 But I do not know where to get it so I used the latest mkvmerge v2.9.7

Original file bitrate is: 1167 Kbps

Split 1 has 984 Kbps
Split 2 has 3378 Kbps

Is it possible tha have the same bitrate in the second split as the original file?

mkvtoolnix will just split the files, without reencoding and changing bitrate

how have you computed the bitrate?

also.. the bitrate is never constant.. but always average.. so different slice must have different average bitrate

P.S. and Welcome to the Forum!

I used MediaInfo 0.7.4.7 to compare bitrates of the original & both splitted files.

You are a lifesaver ♠ :) Thanx for the information.

another deserved tool is avinaptic http://fsinapsi.altervista.org/code/avinaptic/avinaptic-20071118-full-fixed.zip
it give very good informations about mkv/avi files
