I'm looking for some free software that will allow me to "chop up" a .wmv file. For example, if the file is 30 minutes long, and I want to save out a separate clip of 12:25 to 15:42 minutes only. I would prefer a Linux package, but something that will run on MacOS would work, too.<br>
<br>
Here is what I'm trying to do -<br>
My girlfriend's band was on a local TV show, and the format of the show is talk a little, play a song, talk a little, play a song, etc.. in reality, when it was filmed, they did all the talking in one block, all the music in one block, and they spliced them all together into the show.<br>
Anyway, I have a .wmv of the entire 30 minute show, and permission from the producers to do whatever we want with it (yay!). The drummer actually has a professional video production company, so he is going to work with them to get their original footage and do something a bit more sophisticated, but I've pulled a copy from YouTube, and I want to play around with it in the meantime :)<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any suggestions for something that will let me easily chop it up into individual songs?<br>

Oh, if any of you want to see the show, it is here - it is very local, but entertaining:<br>
The first two songs weren't the best audio-wise, but were not that bad - the song at 14:05 to 16:50 ("Robot Girl") is probably the best audio quality:<br>

They also recently had a professionally done video created, and here is the link to it if you want to hear what they sound like in better audio quality - with some awesome production work done:<br>

Oh, my girlfriend (Sandra) is the one with the reddish hair/lightning bolt earings doing most of the vocals, and the band's name is Mary Tylosaur :) Chuck, you met her at the SUSE Linux Days event a few months back.<br>
</end shameless plug><br>
<br>
Sorry, I didn't mean for it to turn into an [OT] post in the end, but I couldn't help but share the youtube links. Oh, and back to the main topic - any suggestions on the video software would be appreciated :)<br>
