Create Trimmed File Copy
This dialog is used to make byte-for-byte copies of portions of the original program file. Its primary use is for you
to create small copies of files that can be uploaded to the VideoReDo support team.
Source File: If you started this dialog after a video has been opened, the Source File will be filled in with the name
of the currently open video program file. Otherwise, click on the "..." button to select a source file.
Output File: This is the file that portions of the source file will be copied to. Click on "..." to display the standard
file dialog box so that you can choose an output file.
Output Options:
From Beginning: Select this option to start writing from the beginning of the file. Use the MBytes to Output control
to specify how many MBytes of data to write. A MByte is 1,048,576 bytes.
To End Of File: Select this option to output the desired number of MBytes at the end of the file. For example, if
you specify 10 MBytes to End Of File, the last 10 MBytes of the file will be copied. Note: VideoReDo looks for
an MPEG packet boundary before starting the output. This may result in a file that is slightly smaller the exact
size you specify.
Start At MByte: This option is used to copy data from the middle of the file. You will need to specify both
the starting MByte and MBytes To Output. Once again, VideoReDo looks for an MPEG packet boundary
before starting the output. This may result in a file that is slightly smaller the exact size you specify.
Use Selection Markers: Click on this button to have VideoReDo automatically calculate the Start MByte and
MBytes to Output based on the position of the selection markers. This option is extremely useful if you've
identified a section of video you want to copy. Position the Start and End selection markers,
and , to
bracket the area you which to copy. You cannot use this option if you don't have the file open for editing.
Start Copy: Click this button to start the copy process.
Please note: This function performs a byte-for-byte copy and does not create MPEG compliant files. However,
you can trim the end off of a video and leave the file MPEG compliant as long as you copy from the beginning.
