Edit .mpg / Win98SE

Hi All and happy days,
I received some .mpg files and they open fine with MS Media Player.
At the end of the play there are some ad frames I want to cut out.
Does anyone know of a free .mpg editor to do this ?
regards and thanks for any tips

 

Windows Movie Maker.... is what I use... works perfectly

 

You are right.... Windows Movie Maker came out with XP...... I meant to say say give Blaze media Pro a try..... it does sound files aswell....

Hello,

The best you can get IMO is TPGEnc.
Installation: create a C:\TMPGEnc folder where you extract the zip archive, make a shortcut to TMPGEnc.exe on desktop/elsewhere and you're done.
- run TMPGEnc, uncheck introduction and templates, to get the main window
- go to File > MPEG Tools > Merge & Cut > Add
- navigate to your clip.mpg > Open
- select it (even it's the only one in the list) > Edit
- use the cursor, { and } markers to select the wanted chunk > OK
- press Browse button to select a name and a location to save this chunk you've been selected and give it Run
- if you wish to extract more chunks, you need to repeate the operation for each of them
- if you wish to merge more chunks, you first need to clear the list, then Add to select all
chuncks at once in reverse order *

regards,

Stefan

* this is a kind of bug, I suppose, but this is the way it works
another bug IMO : if you select the beginning of the chunk somewhere but in the very beginning, you need to wait quite long until TMPGEnc will start working - it's as TMPGEnc wants to see the movie

 

Many thanks Best5
regards
