Dear All I was trying to edit a 4 min (50Meg) track from a VCD (containing CGI animated images). However after editing using several video editing software, the file size of this edited track still remain 50Meg (though it shows the duration is 3 min). I merely did a simple cut/trim of the 1 min initial part of the track. Logically the edited track after saving should result in lesser than 50Meg but this is not so... Thinking that this edited track is really trimmed (even though no change in file size), I open this edited track using another video- editing s/w and it is as though edited. So I decided to burn this track into a VCD. Strange enough, the trimmed part of the track presented itself and looked as though it is not edited at all...

The question is how do I save this edited track and retains its quality without compressing. Is there a PC/Mac software that will do the simple cut/trim and then save without compression?

Thanks! I have been checking high and low for answer to this puzzle... Please help...I am a newbie in video-editing...

Best regards Stephanie

Try TMPGEnc. for simple trimming, I guess it is good enough. If you need further help, please visit www.vcdhelp.com

The TMPGEnc software is one of the best available but it's only free for a short time. After a fortnight, you'll have to shell out around $50 or so.
