splitting a movie file

how can I split a movie file of one hour into 6 files of 10 minutes each and save them

Hi nyl,

What kind of movie do you want to process? Is it a QuickTime movie (*.mov)? Or a Flash/DIVX/MPEG movie? If it can be opened with QuickTime chances are good that the split task can be automated.

threy are quicktime movie compressed in MP4/H.264. In quicktime pro I can edit and export audio/video passthrough so it doesn’t need to be re-compressed. I just don’t know how to automate this process.

The easiest way is:
¢ open the file
repeat
¢ set selection start and end
¢ cut to clipboard
¢ make new document
¢ paste clipboard
¢ save and close the new document
end repeat
