Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Trust my rage

I'm trying to cut the last 4 minutes off of a .avi file (using my Mac). Anyone know free software that will do that?

iMovie, maybe? Sorry, I haven't played around enough to have any better idea, I just paid up for Quicktime Pro....

All is well that ends in pizza.

I haven't tried it, but SimpleMovieX has a full-featured trial version:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone have one of the HD TiVos yet? I'm looking for owner opinions. I've been poking around Weaknees now that I've seen that TiVo will let you transfer your lifetime account (but for $199!) from an older model. I wrinkle my nose at "(no video transfer from the unit)".

THeo, I tried iMovie first but it converted the clip into 12GB AND had sound only.

I"ll try the other suggestions - thanks!

I have one. I thought that the $199 lifetime service transfer was a limited time offer that expired near the beginning of this year. Has that changed?

As far as the no tivo-to-go (no video transfer) issue, that's currently true, but supposedly they're going to start pushing through a software update that will allow it in the next month or so.

Hmm. That makes it a bit more palatable.

Huh. I'd no idea they extended it. Cool.
