Looking for a WMV video cutting program

[Daymare]

I tried avi / mpeg /wmv splitter from boilsoft, but I don't like how long it takes to cut them since you have to first write down all of the scene times and cut them one by one.

Is there another cutting program that can batch or at least let you navigate the movie easier to find the end of a scene in which to cut? Any program suggestions would be welcome, thanks

I use vegas video, it doesn't batch but I just find it extremely easy.

cheers,

you can pull the slider through the movie in boilsoft to any point you wish. it takes seconds and is very easy.

I use a program called VideoCharge works like a charm, nice clean cuts and could do a lot more then just batch cut WMVs

As you scroll left and right with boilsoft you don't get 'live playback' you have to hit play and hope you are at the end of the scene, click up, click play, etc etc.... it takes way longer than it should. (in my experience)

Videocharge is good for converting dvd to wmv, but cutting wmv's it throws the sound off by 2 seconds!! it totally messes it up for me, and cutting the segments is a hassle too, cause the timelines are hard to set apart from one another, and 1/2 the time the program crashes when you 'run' it.

argh

Wow, I never had those problems with VideoCharge. If I had I would be contacting the company and seeing if they had any patches planned for it.

doesn't XP come with a program that allows you to cut it up?

yes, it's windows movie maker and you can do this with it. But this program isn't very handy.
We use Adobe Premiere Pro. I also edited wmv files with it.
