cut/save movie in hdd

krussell · 10-11-2003, 12:07 AM

hi
i was wondering if there's anyway to cut and save a portion of movie in my hdd, or cut and copy a particular portion from a movie file. so far, using mplayer was wonderful but it apparently has no option for cutting vidoes. there must be something for this. i need ur help....

never used this, nor do i have any experience with this as i haven't had a need to grab just a portion of video, but maybe this might work for you.

actually can do it in mplayer itself. All u need to know is the starting and teh ending time or frame no.
Then u go at command line

mencode <input_file> -oac copy -ovc copy -ss 00:02:35 -endpos 00:23:00 <output_file>

and voila

but it says

Reading config file /home/russell/.mplayer/mencoder
: No such file or directory
MPlayer was compiled without libmp3lame support!

i am confguring mplayer again...with libmp3lame support
