| Hello, it's been a long time since I use VirtualDub to cut my videos, and I've noticed that it can't cut short parts of a video file. Usually, it happens with parts of some frames long, but this time I want to delete the first 5 seconds of my video, and it's impossible : each time, the output file is the same as before cutting. How the hell can I fix that ? Has anyone encountered the same problem ? |

| Are you using Direct Stream Copy on the video? If so it will only cut at keyframes. You'll need to either cut more off until you hit the next keyframe or use the recompress options. |

| Please check the help file -- it has a detailed description of what is going on here under the Processing / Direct mode section. |
