Save space by cutting your MP4 videos Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge: Say you have a bunch of videos @ 1080p (because you want the best quality). But there's lots of repetition in them, parts you could do without, or wish were gone. You can easily reclaim hundreds of MB of disk space per video by cutting out the parts you don't want as you watch the video and then save the edited version all without losing any video quality and all for free. The instructions below will work for MP4 videos. First download AviDemux. It is open source, free, has no ad-ware, and works on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Make sure you pick the right download for your operating system. If you use Windows and are in doubt you'll be safe with the win32 version. Install the software leaving all the default options then run Avidemux which should now be on your desktop. You can drag a video onto Avidemux to open it or use the File->Open menu. On the left you'll see drop-downs for Video Output and Audio Output. It's important they stay as "Copy". What you do need to remember to change each time you use the program is the Output Format. Choose "MP4v2 Muxer". Maximize the window so you can see the full video frame. Now you can do everything using the buttons at the bottom, but I'll explain how to edit using the keyboard. Press [Space] to play/stop the video playback. When stopped, press [up arrow]/[down arrow] to jump forward and backward to key frames. Key frames are important. They are the points where it is safe to make cuts without causing any distortions. So say you're playing the video and you get to a point where you want to start cutting. 1st stop playback by pressing [Space]. Then press either [Down Arrow] or [Up Arrow] to make sure you are positioned on a key frame. Then press [. (It's located to the right of your [P] key. This will mark the beginning of a cut. Now let the video keep playing or keep pressing the [Up Arrow] until you get to where you want the end of the cut to be. Make sure you are on a key frame by using the arrow keys and then press ] to mark the end of the cut. If you prefer this can be done by clicking the Marker "A" and Marker "B" buttons at the bottom. You should see a blue box around the area that's been selected for cutting. Now just go to the Edit Menu and choose cut, or Press Ctrl+X and that section of video will be cut. Keep repeating for any additional pieces of the video you want to cut. Finally double check that audio output and video output are on copy and that the output format is MP4v2 Muxer. Then click the first disk icon (not the 2nd) on the top toolbar to save your edited video. Be sure to give it a different name than the original in case you aren't happy with your edits. It should save fairly fast because no encoding is being done, simply cuts....and that's it. Might take a little practice, but it becomes real easy and I think it's worth it. You can save tons of space this way and focus on what you're most interested in viewing. | |

 Good suggestion although editing has been mentioned in various threads, it always good to reinforce the concept because disk space is always a concern. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Yeah, I'm sure plenty of people are already doing things like this, just thought I'd try and post instructions for those who might benefit from them. | |
