[SOLVED] How to edit a WMV file?

[gillesg]

Hello

Using VLC, I could successfully save a streaming video into a file.

I can play this file with VLC or Media Player Classic (although I can't fastforward), but I couldn't edit it with either VirtualDub 1.19.1 ("ASF files are not supported") or AviDemux 2.6.0 (The UI freezes for a couple of minutes, and the file isn't displayed). I'd just like to extract a segment.

FWIW, here are some infos on the file per MediaInfo 0.7.50:

Does someone know of another tool, preferably free, that I could use instead?

BTW, is it usual to have two video streams in a single file?

Thank you.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, because it was a stream two versions of the same video at different resolutions and different bitrates are in the stream.
Be careful to demux the higher resolution/bitrate version :p.

Thanks for the tip.
