Splitting up "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya"

[Jessie-kun]

Okay, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a very long movie, and the file I'm editing with is very large in size. VirtualDubMod becomes unresponsive whenever I try and load the avisynth script, so I'm guessing perhaps the movie's file size is too large.
So, I was wondering how I could split the movie into parts using AvsP?

I would post the script, but all that it consists of is the movie file (I figured doing any cleanup would be pointless since it's a Blu-Ray rip and has been cleaned up already), so I don't suppose there's a point to posting it.

Any help would be appreciated.

how are importing it?

It should not become unresponsive because the 'movie is too large'. That would be silly.

Post your script.

FFVideosource("F:\Suzumiya\Suzumiya Haruhi no shoushitsu (BD-rip 1920x1080 H.264 AAC 2ch+5.1ch).mp4")

ffvideosource has to index the input, so if you let vdub sit there for a bit, i bet it will work.

Okay! I'll leave it for awhile and see if it'll open.

Thanks for the help.

after it creates the index file (.ffindex) it should open a lot faster.

You could always use ffmsindex to do it. That way you aren't just idling VDub or unsure of how long it'll take. It gives a progress meter to track it.

If you don't want to use the CLI properly, just drag-and-drop the file onto ffmsindex.exe and let it go from there.

Using VirtualDub itself will make it go faster too, rather than shitty old VirtualDubMod.*

It probably won't make it any faster but it'll likely fix any problems you might get with using vdubmod (i.e. vdubmod always converts it internally to yuy2 for some strange reason, enjoy your useless colorspace conversions).
