Cutting scenes into separate files

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Is there a program or utility that can automatically cut a long AVI-file
into separate files - one for each scene?

I know that several programs, like Pinnacle Studio, can index all the
scenes of an AVI-file based on their time code. But this index simply
points into a huge AVI-file that is difficult to handle. I would like to
split my AVIs into small files - one file per scene (like what you get if
you film with a digital "photo" camera), which would make it easy to store
the clips on DVDs and to retrieve the relevant pieces when assembling a
film and not having unlimited HD space.

Any good tools out there?

Assuming you're talking about capturing clips and not modifying existing
clips, www.scenalyzer.com will do what you want.
From the site: "ScLive has automatic scene splitting while capturing - each
scene is written into its own .avi file in realtime. "

Thanks Mike!

Their freeware Scenalyzer even splits the already captured AVI files on the
hard disk. Works well!

on datetime code.
