OT, but only a little - can .wmv movies be spliced?

[Rich Grise]

Not an electronics Q, but where could I go to ask how to
splice two .wmv movie files together? I've downloaded a
couple of little movies that look like they're sequential,
but got posted in two pieces. If I just use DOS copy, even
with the /b switch, it still stops after the first segment.

Thanks,
Rich

(Yes, it's p*rn.)

There seem to be a number of movie editors; try tucows - as that is
where i got one that works fairly well.
Be advised that if you find something that works fairly well for you,
that you will wind up paying for it - as all the decent ones are on
15-30 day trial.

Dah...yeah well obviously. Rich, I'm amazed at your ignorance on this
one. Like even with minimal knowledge one must realise that a wave file
is going to have a header and data, such that simply joining two
together aint never gonna work.

Hi Rich

I cant help you with wmv, since I use Adobe Premiere pro but the
best place to lurk is rec.video.desktop

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

 

It's not an illogical thing to attempt. You can splice normal MPEG
streams this way.

Thanks for this. A 15-day trial is fine, since I only need to use it once.

Thanks!

Try using VirtualDub? Don't know if it works with .WMV
