segmenting qt files
jim gemmell suggested to me the other day some ideas about segmenting my video files. this is a cool idea, because then you kids wouldnt be downloading 200 meg video files.
it would work technically because you can link qt files to each other in the browser. so smaller bits to download. everyone wins. except:
windows movie maker will do this.
but there isnt anything for quicktime. a little digging finds this google answer. qt pro is the best program for this? i would get to do it by hand for each movie?
yuck.
so for now, this is a great idea for dealing with current bandwidth. but i cant spend the time chopping up these movies right now. the payoff isnt worth the time.
but its worth noting as a nice idea that makes a lot of sense.
now if anyone wants to write a auto-segmenter for qt files...
3 minutes later and here is an applescript that might work...
