Windows Movie Maker Problem...

I am trying to split a 23-minute video of me into 3 8-minute sections, but if I import it onto WMM, it thinks the video is 23 seconds instead of 23 minutes... ah.. just watch it, and tell me if you think there is anything I can do. If it involves spending money in any way on another "movie maker program" count me out. If you need more info, tell me, and I shall give said info to you.

*Note* I know there is no sound. Reason 1: I don't know how to record my voice. Reason 2: Sound isn't necessary on this video.



*Another Note* What you've already read above this sentance is what is in the video description.

If this is an obvious problem then I have obviously not been able to figure out what the problem is.



None.

File format... you mean like ".wmp" and ".doc"? It says it is a "VOB FILE". There is no .whatever

Yes.



None.

Yes file extension "file.wmv" etc. As far as I know Windows Media Player only supports .wmv (windows media video) and .avi file formats, for video anyway. Not sure what file format a VOB File is, but my guess is that Windows Movie Maker doesn't know what to do with that file. Do you have any way of saving the video in a different format? Or converting it? What did you use to get the video in the first place?

Also, the lack of ".vob" could be that you have "hide known file extensions" disabled in your folder options. But if other files have .doc or what ever after them than it is just an unknown file type.

Yes, I'll do that and get back to you on it.

The video would be from a DVD and in some type of MPEG-2 format.



None.

Don't use windows movie maker if at all possible. Try Wax or another free alternative.



Red classic.

Would you list a few programs that I can use? I want it to be as newbie friendly as possible :ermm:

Beginner stuff? Probably http://www.openmovieeditor.org/
Haven't used personally but it looks easy enough and isn't buggy bloatware like windoze movie maker.

Oh, and http://www.zs4.net/

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
