WMV editing

**anotherl33cher** · May 12th, 2013, 07:26 AM

Sometimes you just want to cut some good part of a video. Recompressing means more time wasted (more processing power needed) and quality loss (or bloated file size to prevent it).

AVI files (or more precisely: DIVX and XVID codecs) use key frames and delta frames, so you can cut at key frames without re-compressing (I often use virtualdub for this).

Is this possible with WMV?

It is with Cut Assistant or Avidemux

Windows Movie Maker is the best for simple editing - you can make clips of a video and then drag & drop them onto the timeline. You can also self-edit by clicking on the clip and dragging back or forward to the bit you want to cut. It might take a bit of effort but once you know what you're doing you can produce a decent video complete with transitions and effects.

VLC player has this facility along with image enhancement/processing.And it's free.
