If VLC can play it, VLC can cut and/or trim it - that's audio files and video files. So in my case, I had my camera recording the area where I placed some food in my garden, waiting for one of the Mice to dart in and out and steal a nut. After about an hour, some of the food had gone. So I was left with a 60 min video with only 25 secs of video that I wanted to keep... so I did the following:
- Loaded the video (.mts) into VLC
- Selected View -> Advanced Controls from the menu
- Dragged the slider to just before the Mouse appears in the video
- Clicked the red Record button (on the left just above the slider)
- Pressed Play (or use the Frame Advance) until the Mouse is out of shot
- Clicked Record again to stop recording.
