It sometimes might be necessary to split one video file into several parts (for instance, if you want to separate several video clips and save every one of them as a single file, etc) or, quite the other way round, merge several separate files in one. To do that you should do the following:

• Load files into AVS Video ReMaker in the Set Source mode. If you plan to split one file into several, you should add this one file to the file list. If you plan to merge several files into a single one, you will need to add all of them to the file list.

  Note: the files must have the same parameters - frame size (height, width), frame rate, coded with the same codec and so on so that you could merge them without the need of reconversion.

• Detect and select the unnecessary scenes in the Detect Scenes or Preview Video work modes. Mark them for deletion using the Deletion Toolbar.

• Use the Player Buttons in the Preview Video mode to make sure that you marked the right scenes for deletion.

• If necessary (and if available) Create DVD Menu in the appropriate mode.

• When all the preparations are made, click the Remake Now! button to start processing of the file. The following window will open:

Here you can select the output file Name, destination Path and video Format (if available).

• If you plan to split the file into several parts, select the Save all sections into separate files option. All the episodes present between the areas of deletion will be saved as separate files having the same name as has been selected but with the ordinal notation added (1, 2, 3 and so on) after the selected file name.

• If you plan to merge several files into one or if you do not plan to split the single file into separate parts, select the Save all sections into a single file option. All the sections of the single file together with all the video files in the file list will be joined into one single file.

If you work with MPEG-2/DVD video files, the Burn movie to disc after processing option will become available. When it is enabled, the AVS Video ReMaker will record the resulting files onto an optical disc using the internal burn engine. After that you will need to press the Start button and will see the deletion progress on the progress bar. It will take some time depending on the file length and your computer configuration.

Note: if the dimensions of the MPEG-2 image coincide with the PAL or NTSC parameters, the program will let you save the video into DVD PAL or NTSC format, that can be selected in the Format drop-down list.
