VideoCutter (bundleware)

From: John Corliss on 14 Apr 2010 14:57 I was looking for something to *easily* cut irrelevant portions of a joke video out. I found VideoCutter: http://www.prvsoft.com/video-cutter.html at the Freewarehome.com site: http://freewarehome.com where it is described as follows: _______________________________________________________________________ Video Cutter is a very simple tool that can cut any video in almost any format easily. It supports MPG, VOB, DAT, AVI, DIVX, MP4, WMV, MOV, MKV, FLV and other video formats. All you need to do is play the video; Mark start and end of the video; Then simply save it by clicking on the save button. PLEASE NOTE: this program offers to install the "Relevant Knowledge" *OPTIONAL* add-on, if you don't want it make sure that you click the "Decline" button on the FIRST install screen - it looks like the program EULA but it isn't, that's on the next screen! _______________________________________________________________________ I installed the program and they're correct, but apparently they're not aware that the setup also tries to install a browser toolbar at the *end* of the setup unless you uncheck that option. The program itself works very nicely to do what I wanted, but be sure to give the edited video file which you're saving another name than the original. If you don't, you'll get an error message that the file is in use (by the program itself.) Also, as far as I could tell, you can't set the start and end points unless the movie is playing. It would be nice if you could drag the slider to the frames you want to set those points at and view those frames as you do so. -- John Corliss BS206.

Avidemux won't reencode cuts-only video of the same format. But it doesn't support wmv.

I had Avidemux on my computer up until yesterday (and I updated it to the current version yesterday as well), but the resulting file it produced was all garbled and messed up. I tried three times to get acceptable results and was unable to do so, so I removed the program and went looking for something else. What I found was VideoCutter, and as I said in the OP, I was looking for something to *easily* (that's why I put asterisks around the word) do the job. Avidmux isn't really a very easy program to use. It's interface leaves a lot to be desired, IMO, and as I said, the results it produced were unacceptable. If it was just this time that I got bad results, I would have given it another break but the program has almost *consistently* given me bad results so I got rid of it. YMMV, but on my machine, Avidemux simply doesn't work and I don't have the energy to either figure out why or to deal with it anymore. Thanks anyway though. -- John Corliss BS206.
