The VideoLAN Forums

"In Avidemux go to "File >> Open..." and select you input file. Select "OK" or "Yes" for any questions asked about timemaps etc. Then when the video is loaded seek to the beginning point of you segment, and press the "Select: start" button ("A")...

Way over my head.... I downloaded the avidemux, managed to cut the bit I want, but it does'nt show, work, can't see the video...The virtualdub wants money, asnd a million links... Please could you give instructions from the start...I can't see the buttons for "input" "select all "...

I am wanting to edit a video I have, just to have a part of the video I have...I don't want to loose it all, and would like to keep it all, just take a small part out of the video and make a new file...Can anyone tell me how to do this, in plain understandable language?
