You can also use Virtual dub to by selecting a portion and being all like

SAVE AVI AS...

If you're gonna use VirtualDub make sure to select "Direct Stream Copy" otherwise, it will compress the video to the default settings (granted you don't mess with any of the compress settigns). This is only if youw ant to split the video though.

Lol, even though running on a short budget, I went and bought Adupe Premiere 6.5 and been trying to figure out how to split the video into 2 parts... but I've had no luck. Any suggestions by any chance?

if you bought it, read the manual. Tells you how to do it perfectly.

Take a gander and look for the Razor tool in the manual or help file....

I don't want to know what Hands-On learning you do with Manuel.

But I guess 'we' should mention that Premiere is not meant for splicing videos in half. Vdub or an actual "AVI-Splitter" program. Unless you're doing more than splitting, I wouldn't send my video through Premiere's render engine. Especially if it's YUV source. >_< Colorspace conversion for no reason!
