Chopping DivX - anyone have experience?

[RadioactiveCPU]

When i chop a divx file into 2 parts using AVIchop, the first half isn't viewable in Windows media player. no sound, no picture. but the second half is fine. anyone know any other applications that will work 100% thanks.

I personally use Virtual Dub to cut divx files. It does so many other things plus it's free!

I agree. VirtualDub is MUCH better than AVIchop! With AVIchop you have no idea where you are chopping the video. It could be right in the middle of a scene. With VirualDub you can chop it EXACTLY where you want (for instance, right after a scene).

No, you don't have to recompress it. Just set both the audio and video to "direct stream copy", and chop the video at a keyframe to avoid problems.

look here for a detailed how-to.

We dude, I was going to show you how to do it in VirtualDub but Shooters gave a GREAT how-to link. 😉
