Oh, I wasn't aware.

I wanted some simple program to split wmv file but is there some under
linux? My googling only pointed to mencoder, I didn't find any other
utility to do this... but maybe I was using wrong key words. Can you
suggest some good utility to split wmv files?

I was so desperate that I also tried running few freeware and
shareware from windows under wine but they all failed... I'm not sure
because they are crap of because of running under wine.

Any suggestion is helpful so please don't hold back any info you have.

Thank you in advance,
Valent.
