    I have a TV capture card which I have connected to my dish network receiver, I can record what the capture card is showing, it saves the recorded file to a mpg file. I would like to find a small free utility that I can open the mpg file in and trim the clip to the start and end I want.

    Years ago I used a program and there were sliders that you could slide tot he start and the end and then click "trim" and it did what I want to do now.

    That program was from Intel for their video phone but that was 8 years ago

    Does anyone know of a SIMPLE program that will do the same thing.
    Thanks in advance

    Load the file.
    Use the slider 1 and the brackets 2/3 to select a clip you want to keep and click on the + sign 4.
    Either add other clips as required or save the clip(s):(File > Save All Clips or Save Clip, etc).
