120 GB file "not responding" in VirtualDub2?

[ThumperStrauss]

I loaded a 120 GB avi (Lagarith) file in VirtualDub2 using an avs script with qtgmc. When I move the slider to set an end point, VirtualDub2 gives me a "not responding" message. I waited 10 minutes, but it didn't resolve. Is there a way to overcome this by changing settings in VirtualDub2 or maybe turn off the video preview?

Or is there a command line program I can use before to trim away the last third of the video, which I believe is just snow? Then my video file would be smaller and perhaps VirtualDub2 wouldn't struggle with it?

If you want to remove the last third, I'd just open the file in VDub first (no frameserving via AVISynth), trim it, then bring it back in to VDub via AVISynth.

Can you record even bigger ? hehe

To be clear, trim it using Direct Stream Copy.

So, I seem have to have found a solution. I estimated where I needed to cut the video and added a trim command in my AVS file, when I brought into VirtualDub2. That made the file size more manageable, and then I was able to trim it more precisely in VrtualDub 1.9.11.

This is the script I used to trim it, while also deinterlacing it:

AviSource("MyVideoFileNameHere.avi")
QTGMC( Preset="Medium")
trim(0,5000)
SelectEven()
