Splitting or rendering into YouTube-friendly 15 minute video parts

[BlueToast]

How might I go about (1) splitting an existing video (that has audio) and (2) rendering a video (with audio) into YouTube-friendly 15 minute parts? I have been curious about this for quite a long time but just never seemed to get down to asking about this.

I appreciate responses and help! :)

Depends on the video. One cutter can't cut them all. You might start by telling us what kind it is. Maybe post a Tree View from MediaInfo.

What, if anything, does this have to do with AviSynth? Moving you to Newbies.

You might start by telling us what kind it is.Well I was hoping there would be a simple step-by-step thing I could follow. I wouldn't know if AVS scripting and execution would be required. Sometimes I have stuff straight from the camcorder, sometimes I have stuff that has already passed through an encoder and been put into a container and so forth.

Using AviSynth requires a reencode. To answer your hope, no, there's no step-by-step. Maybe AVIDemux is the closest to being able to cut most formats:

I normally use MKVMerge to split my videos into 14minutes parts just to be safe.
You can try AVIDemux as well.
Both tools are cross-platform

Very much thanks! AVIDemux is very easy to use once you get the hang of it, and you can split videos just like that very quickly with hotkey usage. :)

If your YouTube account is old enough and has not received any copyright strike, the 15-minute limit should have disappeared anyway.
