Is there a way to [split video files]?

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

Is he from Barcelona?

... it means when I see the manual, I skip reading and just start messing with the program and try to figure stuff on my own. ... btw, I'm asian.

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!

Yeah... I foudn this out the hard way... I just dloaded Vdub and split it instead... VDub is much easier for splitting the AVI...

for next time u can use tmpgenc its fairly easy to use but it can only work with mpg so u have to convert the file to an mpg witch is good anyway becouse mpgs are smaller then avi

WRONG!

Please don't say things you don't know about.

AVI is a container format! It is not a compression format. AVI can contain really any form of compression. It is a way to merge video and audio streams into one file. It means nothing for compression.

DivX or XviD compression inside an AVI file is usually better than MPEG compression. Also compressing already compressed footage is BAD.

About VirtualDub. If you want to just split the file, make sure you set it to Video|Direct Stream Copy & the same for audio. You don't want to recompress the streams. That will be bad. Also Full Processing mode sends it through Vdubs filter engine, which requires the footage in RGB.

That's because you're probably using a weird codec, or you haven't configured your codec properly when you were making the avi.
