I am using Windows 7 and recording some winter Olympics programs on TV. A lot of times, the programs can be 17GB or 25GB long. (now the extension is .wtv)
What if I want to just keep 2 minutes of the program, such as a Mogul Skiing run for the gold medal, or the Skating program which I like best?
I think Media Center doesn't have a built in tool to split a video. Are there tools that is easy and capable of doing it? a 2 minute program probably will be only 200MB for 1920 x 1080 resolution, and will be much easier to keep.
great, turns out Movie Maker can actually take .wtv but it seems that if i export the TV as a 720p file, it is not as good quality as the original video shown by Media Center in a window that is about the size of 720p. – nonopolarity – 2010-02-17T16:01:47.223
Play about with the encoding settings a bit - increase the bitrate, change the resize filter (if that is possible with Movie Maker?)
If you leave it at 1080p then it shouldn't need to re-encode at all. – Shevek – 2010-02-17T18:59:34.793
