Snipping a 2.2Gb AVI File to <2GB for viewing...

[Job2]

I have a video survellaince system I just setup at home and am capturing using Virtual Dub at 1 frame a second....

Got 8 hours of video but unfortunately the file is 2.2GB...and windows media player cant open it. Neither can I import it into premiere of open with virtual dub.

Is there any way I can view the file - even if I snip it in half etc....I would like to view something very important on the file if possible....

TIA

IF I could just snip off the last 200MB - pretty sure there's nothing on there I'd like to look at.

You could try software like WINRAR or a binary cutter like HJSPLIT and divide the file into smaller segments.

... just create a frameserver with avisynth
should be only like one line of code... very simple
it could look like this

Avisource("myavi.avi")
whereas myavi should of course be the name of your avi file. if you don't create the script in the same directory as the avi you have to incude the path of course!

just copy this line into a textfile and rename it to 'abc.avs'
whereas 'abc' can be any name you'd like!
no you can simply open it in wmplayer aswell as virutaldub etc

for further help go to avisynth.org
to download the program go to the doom9 downloads section (be aware it'S a little tricky to install!!
