To divide a file into 1 or more playable pieces. example youtube time limit to upload large file like how dr jekll and mr hyde was uploaded into 2 parts. Any freeware or trials available? I came across several file dividers freeware but none will actually play the pieces until put back together.

Click here to download. Set the time in the .bat using Notepad for when you want the movie to split, then drag the .mkv or .avi into the .bat file. It will create files after that.

I split the Jekyll video into two using mencoder. In Windows you could probably use VirtualDub for the same purpose.

VirtualDub can't touch mkv's, which is quite a pain actually.

I've learn a lot from using avisynth with the avsP editor for editing and mencoder for the rest.

For just splitting a video, MMG is nice. I use AviSynth + AvsP for nearly all my editing otherwise.

Mencoder does all. It lacks a GUI, but that's fine for when I'm on the road.

MEncoder doesn't do complex editing or reliable muxing to anything but AVI. :/

Not true. It does handle other formats, though of the useful ones MP4 is about it.

Mencoder can read tons of input container formats, but can it be used to write formats other than avi, eg. mkv?

Not true. At least with -ovc x264, mp4/mkv muxing is broken.

Note that YT checks only the "minutes" part in the video length, i.e. as long as you stay below 11 minutes it should be fine. At 30 fps this means a maximum of 19799 frames, resulting in a time of 10:59.9666. As for software, I use AviSynth+AvsP for timing-related stuff. Warp: Just use mkvmerge / mkvmerge GUI.

Yes. I don't know what is with all the misinformation in this thread. See this. lavf one of the containers supported by libavformat avi Audio-Video Interleaved mpeg MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 PS rawvideo raw video stream (no muxing - one video stream only) rawaudio raw audio stream (no muxing - one audio stream only) mpg MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 PS asf Advanced Streaming Format avi Audio-Video Interleaved wav Waveform Audio swf Macromedia Flash flv Macromedia Flash video rm RealMedia au SUN AU nut NUT open container (experimental and not yet spec-compliant) mov QuickTime mp4 MPEG-4 format dv Sony Digital Video container mkv Matroska open audio/video container

I suppose I got confused by mencoder seemingly not having any direct option for outputting to an mkv. It wasn't quite evident that "if you selected libavformat to do the muxing of the output file (by using the -of lavf), the appropriate container format will be determined by the file extension of the output file."

That's why it pays to read the documentation. I had no idea what lavf did, so I just google'd it.

lavf muxing to mp4/mkv with -ovc x264 is broken.
