I am seeking all help and advice I can get from this diverse group. I have now spent over three days trying to accomplish what I though would be a fairly simple task. Especially since the first part (that I thought would be the hardest) went so easy.
I have an one hour mpeg video file that I have converted from a tivo vido file that I downloaded from my DVR. All I want to do now is trim out a total of approximately 5 minutes from two sections of that one hour source file. Then combine the two sections and publish them to my web site for family and friends to see. Having never done any digital video editing in my over a decade of web site development this has been quite a weekend of learning. But I have failed to successfully edit this video, let alone get it published. I have Microsoft Movie Maker and HP Media Center bundled on my 8GB 64bit Windows Vista Home Premium laptop. Neither seem capable of trimming my original file. Movie Maker seems to make a valiant effort but constantly fails with an 0x8007000 error which as best as I can guess might be indicating an out of memory error. I spent many hours trying out half a dozen other tools, but with little luck. It looks like video editing tools worth using require a purchase which I would actually be happy with, if I was sure the tool would be well supported, work on my machine and actually do the jobs I need it to do. (With a big hurdle being I am so new to this, I am unclear what those jobs actually are yet.) Any suggestions, hints or good sources of information I can tap into? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
