Is there ANYONE here who knows of a LEGIT program that can split up .mkv (matroesjka) files?.. My good ole trusty Ultra Video Splitter is letting me down…

[Geo]

Mkvtoolnix

Or simply rename the file extension .mkv to .avi and edit that since mkv is only a container file

[Seul]

Yeah - have that much figured out. But that means quality loss…

Gues there is no such program that can 'look' into a whole .mkv file, visualise it (as in: you can preview the whole file) and split it without any quality loss...

[Geo]

There is no quality loss in renaming it Seul

The container file (mkv) does not have anything to do with the quality as such

Different codecs have varying results but the basic file will not suffer deterioration

[Seul]

I'll see what it gives after I've split it (in best quality) with Ultra Video Splitter. Ta.

[Seul]

Meh - won't work. No problems changing extensions but now I have no audio, the quality is about the same but it keeps freezing, and it won't cut accurately enough… Fuck it.

Does anyone own an ALTADENA WORK 'Teardrop' backpack?.. How tough are these?.. I need it to carry say 15-20 kgs… Would that work?..

[injunjack]

How long and how far you are carrying that weight?

Looks pretty small for that kind of weight. (ofcourse if you're carrying goldbars…)

What exactly you need to carry?

[Seul]

Money. Only 10' walk. Would of course use it for other occassions, but mainly need to know whether it can do that…

[injunjack]

might be OK and then again not.

Go to your friendly outdoor shop and see what they have to offer.

(personally I wouldn't buy "outdoor" stuff, even if it's good, if about first sites I stumble while googling this is
some hype/mode blogs etc. but then it's just me.)

What you need is this

[Seul]

I'll ask my boss to get me one of those… If you hear something on the news about a nutter going in the wrong direction on the highway at 60 mph... Yo…

[Geo]

The Altadena stuff is tough and good looking - I'd buy it for carry assorted junk around - but the straps and webbing don't have too much padding so 20kg of coins might cut into your shoulders

(The bureau in Belfast are selling them now)

As IJ says go to camping shop and try out a few different types

does someone know how to shorten a video (in size, NOT in length!)? 

[Beatle]

save as …for instance, wmv does give you different pixel / size options..

[Finn666]

@Beatle:

save as …for instance, wmv does give you different pixel / size options..

it`s saved as AVI…now if i change to wmv, nothing is hapening!

[Seul]

You should use ULTRA VIDEO SPLITTER… You can change size, format, resolution, quality... And it's free!..

Or handbrake or xcid4psp
