I'm a long-time user of Sound Forge and just started getting into video (I'm using a copy of VideoFactory that I bought for my wife a few years ago).
Here's my question... I have 2 mpg files - each about 40 mins. There are 2 segments on each one. What I want to do is delete the 2nd segment from one of the files & paste what's left onto the end of the other file (essentially creating a single file with three 20 min segments). If I could just delete the segment I don't want, that would be OK too. But when I try that, all I get is 20 mins of black (no video/audio). The file length is still 40 mins. I figured I could just 'delete' the segment I don't want (like I could in SF) and be left with a 20 min segment. Am I overlooking something?
Also, if I'm editing an MPG file, why can't I just save it in the same format? Why does it default to a .vf file instead? I tried rendering to MPG, but it took almost 2 hours to render (what I thought was going to be) a 20 min file.
Is there a better/quicker way to do all of this? Seems like there should be...
Thanks in advance...
Steve
