.AVI editing, trimming

[David Thrasher]

You could try Quicktime Pro. It can run AVI's and it can export to that format too. You could use cut and paste to create separate files of the right size. It might take some experimentation to determine how many minutes will fill a CD without going over.

Subject: .AVI editing, trimming

I have quite a few .AVI files that I need to trim to fit onto CD (700 
MB).  I have access to the popular hi end video editors but not much 
skill in that arena and still have not found a way beyond using 
software like Discreet's Cleaner on PC to Edit/Trim the .AVI files.  
The Mac version does not seem to be able to import .AVI files like the 
PC counterpart.

Anyone know of any apps (retail, share/freeware) that I can use on OS X 
to trim my larger .AVI FIles down?  What I do is use Stuffit and 
Segment them and then burn to CD in pieces (or .DMG them) for archive 
but I would like to get them trimmed to <700mb for straight one-shot CD 
archival.

Thanks and please note I am on DIGEST mode and would love to be CC'ed 
or contacted offline if not appropriate for this list. I really 
appreciate it.
