Hi everybody. I use womble to remove commercials from an mpeg but I have no idea what to use on avi how to do it or what software to get. Thanks and Merry Christmas from the Wineslurper Ho Ho Ho (slurp slurp slurp)

Do you know what codec your AVI has? Or is it an uncompressed AVI file?

Well, all you really need is one of those splitter/joiner pieces of software. However, I'm not really aware of one that can do both at the same time AND works well.

What I can suggest takes two programs, from the same company. It'll cost $60 total to buy them both. The Boilsoft AVI/MPEG/RM/WMV Joiner and the Boilsoft AVI/MPEG/ASF/WMV Splitter. See http://www.boilsoft.com

I have these. I use them to split or join files. I've never done what you want (before my test, that is), but it'll work.

It's akin to the old-fashioned way of using TMPGEnc MPEG TOOLS to edit an MPEG file. You'd have to split each segment into a file, cutting out the "good stuff" between commercials. Then use the joiner to join all the segments.

I'm not aware of any freeware for this. I think all the splitters/joiners charge money. Most AVI software is for editing and re-encodes, so the terms to use while searching would be "splitter" and/or "joiner" and not "editor".

I tested out a ATI MMC HuffYUV capture, and did a split, then a re-join or the split segments. It was fine.

I might give that a go.Ho Ho Ho
