Cutting movie segments.

This video assumes you already have a digital version of the video file. (Digital video files can be ripped from DVDs, VideoCD or BluRay. There are many programs that make this conversion, I use DVD Shrink.)

Even though Windows Live Movie Maker is a practical and simple solution, it has limitations regarding file type, it will handle .avi (today's standard for shared SDTV media) well but it won't open other popular formats like .flv (flash video from the web) or HDTV's standard .mkv.
Also the settings need tuning if you want to work with widescreen (16:9 and 16:10) files.
Another downside of using WLMM is the output format: it only exports video in .wmv. Although .wmv files are easily uploaded to youtube some third party software are not able of playing it (this is not an issue unless you work with different platforms, like a Windows desktop and a Unix/Mac laptop).

The mentioned keyboard shortcuts are:
'j' for frame-by-frame backwards
'k' for play/pause
'l' for frame-by-frame forward

    WLMM will support those formats if you have a decoder on the PC and those file extensions are registered as "video" in the registry.

    Hi Kaouê,

    Thanks for taking your time and posting these tips. I use prism to convert video files. I didn't know I could change settings and have it widescreen. Thanks!
