This is by far the only tool I have come across that enables frame accurate cuts in asf/ wmv files. You can make multiple cuts and then save as a trimmed file. Excellent tool. Requires direcx filters to open/ play the files and asfbin 1.5 upwards to make the cuts. If you have difficulty viewing the file just use the file repair function.

Hi!
Excellent tool. I love it. I agree the GUI could be more intuitive, but neither the less it is very easy to handle. For me by far the easiest way to get films cut. This is especially true if you want to cut files from the onlineTVrecorder as there is a website, where users can share there cuts. Normally it takes me about 4 clicks and no thoughts to get a movie ad-free. Love to use it, works with avi, wmv.
Cheers KwikFox

This program needs a complete interface re-write, a decent web site and a better installer.

The controls for this program are not clear. The main window contains what appears to be a video box that isn't used. There seems to be a lack of support for modifier keys like Shift and Alt to advance the video at different rates. The toolbar has a greater focus on managing lists of cuts than actually processing the final result. To do that you need to look into the File menu.

The website is barely readable with light grey text on a white background and no headings nor any clear indication of what information is presented.

Finally if a program depends on another program, like this program depends on Virtualdub, it should be distributed with an installer that checks for the existence of Virtualdub and prompts the user to download Virtualdub if it's not already installed.

Overall whilst I imagine the author of this program has done a lot of work in the core coding, the usability drawbacks of this program leave all that hard work largely wasted.

I wanted to trim the beginning and end of an avi and re-save it for encoding. This program does what it says, it eases cutting segments out of avi's, in conjunction with Virtualdub. There is a preview screen so you can see where in the avi you are and what you want to cut. Takes a minute of two to figure out. The cut file played and encoded as expected.
Would be nice if there was a simple save file icon/option, but this is a wish versus a need.
Nice bit of freeware. Thanks.
