I want to toss some vid's onto my BB Bold to watch while I'm on the subway (and don't have a a data connection to surf). Unfortunately, the bold doesn't seem to play files over ~350mb too smoothly.

I want to put on a few snowboarding/wakeboarding etc videos on but only want to grab a few sections from each movie. Is there a good app out that can just let me grab a clip from each movie and cut it down?

Cheers/rep for any help.

 

Assuming it's using a codec that QuickTime supports (if it plays in QT, it does), just about anything will edit it. iMovie, Final Cut, even QuickTime itself if you have a Pro license.

Alternatively there are a bajillion freeware apps that'll do it. Check versiontracker.

 

it showed I needed more codecs to play in QT - I downloaded "perian" and it's working now.

will I be able to import it into imovie now and cut it down?

 

Get handbrake, it can do everything and its free.

Just for reference, to play files of any type get VLC, it plays everything and is also free.

Hope that helps.

 

been using VLC since the PPC days. great app.

edit: I have the DVD's ripped already. I want to cut the converted AVI files up...handbrake is useless to me.

edit2: here's what worked for me http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html

 

So if I understand correctly you want to just split the files as opposed to shrinking them? If you want to shrink them handbrake is arguably the best converter so you could just lower the size.

If you want a great free app to simply cut them into pieces get Explicit.
