Hello,

I need to split an avi file in 2 parts, so I searched on google and found VirtualDub.
Unfortunatly I can't find any Linux version....
Is someone going to release a Linux version of VirtualDub ?

Or does anyone know any other program running under Linux which could do what I want (split an avi file in 2 parts) ?

Thanks,

BokLM

Hi,

i hope i dont post nonsense here, but as Vdub does rely on the VfW ( Video for Windows ) interface i guess it will be hard to port it to other OS.

For Linux i know that mplayer and mencoder are two widely used apps for AVIs, 1st is to play them ( as name indicates ) and 2nd to create/edit them.
In both the support for every single codec is hardcoded IMHO, so you cant use a general interface like VfW or ACM for teh creation of your movies.

Both are to be found at http://www.mplayerhq.hu

For the future the gstreamer project should be mentioned at http://gstreamer.sourceforge.net or http://sf.net/projects/gstreamer as it may be the future 'DirectShow' for Linux one day, maybe providing something similar to VfW also ?
