I need to chop a few minutes out of each of the .ogm video files I have; is there any software out there that will let me do that without taking several hours? Using TMPGEnc and VirtualDUB, I've got the bits I want taken out effectively removed, but when I go to save the edited file, it goes through some type of encoding. Surely, the entire video needn't be re-coded just to chop off the first few minutes?
I am using VDub MOD. The problem is that I don't want the program to re-encode the video. I just want to chop a peice out. The best thing I've done so far is use the direct stream option (instead of full processing) in VDub, which gets done in 2 minutes, but I still think its stupid for the program to have to do anything to the whole video if I just want to cut out the first minute and a half. So are there any programs that will just remove some video flat out, or is there a setting in VDub for it I don't see?
i think you missed something. load the files, then under edit use the set selection start and end. or use short cut "home" and "end". delete all the things that you don't want ( i usually delete, do try without deleting) make sure you select direct stream copy under video and save as avi/ogm/mkv w/e you want.
