Ok, now that the Linux boys/girl has re-joined us again we’ll talk about how you split an MP4 file into 2 halves.įrom the command line enter the command: ffprobe stagdo-1080p.mp4 Use 7-Zip to unpack the file into a local directory.Download the Latest static builds for MacOs or Windows.You will need a copy of 7-Zip to uncompress the deliverable before you can run it. If you are running Windows or MacOs then you probably need a really simple guide so hopefully this should do! If you run Linux then you should be quite capable of downloading the source from SourceForge, and compiling it up yourself, so you can skip to the FFMPEG command line section below. So here follows the splitting MP4s guide for anyone who doesn’t want to pay $34.99 for someone’s school project. The first problem was to find a build of it that runs under Windows and the second problem is out of the gazillion different command line switches and options which ones will I need. Then I had another brainwave - why don’t I use FFMPEG it’s free. I tried a couple and most either didn’t work or had a demo that only split the first 2 minutes, not to mention all the really dodgie warez sites that kept popping up. Everyman and his dog wants $34.99 for some (really) crappy application that splits an AVI or MPG file into pieces. I really had not realised how much crud there was out there to do this. Then I had a brainwave - yes another one! - why don’t I just cut the large MP4 file in half! So simple. ULead DVD burning software can only burn Joliet for the data file system and this wouldn’t accept the large file size either.
