We are currently looking at some new testings in our Encoding room.

What is the best batch movie splitting to use on WMV?

Anyone got some advice?

Thank you
Adam

VideoCharge is easy as, cheap and does the trick.

use this tutorial to build ffmpeg with windows media support, then split them however you want:

ffmpeg -hq -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:45:00 -i <movie.wmv> ./m1.wmv
ffmpeg -hq -ss 00:00:45 -t 01:30:00 -i <movie.wmv> ./m2.wmv

Same here. It works GREAT on WMVs. Lets you split by file amount (split into 18 videos) or file sizes. The only thing is that it does NOT split Divx or Xvids done with VBR audio (the audio is way off). For that I use solveigMM Video Splitter. I'd say just get that one instead, but it doesn't have the ez split into _____ pieces feature that the Boilsoft does.

it is simple as fuck, that is why I love it....chose the file, tell it how many parts, hit go....done in less than 2-3 minutes

Doing a few DVD's is never to hard, doing 1000+ in a batch creates some problems.

Thanks everyone for the info

Anyone have any other good programs to check out?

Boilsoft rocks. It's dirt cheap and does what it's spouse to. Can't say much more than that. I've personally tossed 2-300 vidoes at it at once in a batch and had it chuck out the parts. It's superfast, as it does not need to do any actual encoding. basically just a past though. NAME your files before hand as a time saver. (I would name the files High_videoname.wmv or Low_videoname.wmv) then send them tot he batch, this would result in High_videoname_ chunk1.wmv, High_videoname_chunk2.wmv etc. (the High_ and Low_ is used within my MAS CMS to tell the script where the clip belongs) I have not used it for anything other that chunking WMV so I can't give you any other ideas. One of the things I wish they would change is the actual work "chunk" added to all the clips. I would rather it just be a number, but it's livable.

yeah, wish you could set what you want the filename to be, the work chunk in there is so wierd...LOL

If the "chunk" suffix bothers you, you gotta use a batch rename program to remove that, he he. I think that I emailed the designer to request that feature in the next version.
