Hi,

I have started a temporary contract position with a small multimedia
company. Although, my main area is Windows support, I am constantly
bothered by people wanting spliced and diced audio and video files.
Although I am not familiar with either area, the audio editing software
is fairly intuitive and I have got by. I am afraid with video tools
(Avid and Premiere), I am lost.

I dont want to be able to do anything fancy, but if someone asks me to
split an mpeg or an avi file of 2 hours into one chunk of 40 minutes
and one of 1 hour 20, I want to be able to do it immediately. What is
the simplest way to do this? I know there is a movie editor in XP too,
but I couldn't even figure that one out.

If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.
