Question for my fellow video pros- Splitting Quicktime files?
 

I am using Boilsoft's Splitter app like many of you to successfully auto-split widescreen WMV files and I also got the newest version version of Splitter 4.28 to successfully auto-split my encoded Realmedia video files if I prepare them with a little app called RM-Repair first.

But other than manually splitting each chunk off from the full length video with Quicktime Pro one section at a time- which works fine except for the labor involved- I can't' find an app to auto-split my encoded Quicktime (.mov) files. For example, making, say, ten individually playable .mov clips from a 30 minute .mov video. Anyone else have a solution?

Hey
i have the same problem. And from what i could find of splitters it cant be done with an auto split. and i tryed a lot
but would love to know this for sure. so nice thread Jim :)

Why do you encode in realmedia ?yuck

That's what one particular client wants in addition to other formats. Mostly I encode to 16x9 WMVs and Quicktime which is the format that I can't find an auto-splitter app for.

video charge express is suppose to support mov

I just downloaded and installed the latest update VideoCharge Full (ver. 3.9) and although this brand new version (unlike it's predecessors) does indeed support processing & splitting video files *without* re-compression- which is what I need to auto-split files- it actually cannot split .movs. The app just crashes and fails to split the files every time with .movs.

I tried with my quicktime files and also some trailers and videos I downloaded online, including all different sizes. And I tried this on three different Win XP pcs. Pretty much looks like only Quicktime Pro can do the splits manually, one at a time. Any programmers wanna give me a quote on creating a small app (akin to Boilsoft's Spliter app) that wil auto-split quicktime files? I can't be the only person whho would want to use this!
