SolveigMM AVI Trimmer is a very handy program that I use along with other editors. I chose this editor for its simplicity, processing speed and high quality of the final result. Not disappointed.

I have tried to use the 6.1 version of this freeware editor and would like to say that it fully meets my expectations. The main advantage is that it is lossless, so the quality of output video is the same as of the input file. Not only AVI and MKV files are supported, but also MP4, FLV, WEBM, WMV, MP3 and so on.
What was also important for me that it has user friendly interface, that is easy to use and understand. There was no need to study beforehand to understand how the program works.
Try to use it! I recommend it.

I like AVI Trimmer + as it works without reencoding, so I aways get on output video in the initial quality. It works very fast and it is easy to understand, with only few mouse clicks I get what I want. If you need the simple video editor to save and delete fragments from the video, try to use AVI Trimmer+! It also supports wide list of file formats. And it is absolutely free!

For me AVI Trimmer + is irreplaceable in cases when you need to delete unwanted content from the file, for example delete ads from the movie or from the any video to post in on YouTube, Facebook. It also has very convenient slicing feature - to devide video into equal parts by time, duration of file size. You can also select what you would like to save from the file - video only, audio only, video and audio. This editor is free and supports such formats as: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, FLV, AVI, ASF, WMV, MP1, MP2, MP3, WAV, AVI, DV. I recommend to try to use it to everyone!

Ive written a couple of great reviews on this software but the latest versions doesnt seem to be able to process the audio correctly. The video plays fine on VLC or any other video player and also with VCH VideoPad Editor. Could be something with Win 10? Anyone else have a issue with garbled audio?

I spent a lot of time searching for software that I could use to edit & save old vhs tapes. This was absolutely the easiest to use for a person who had no clue what she was doing at the time. It converts without recoding to avi files. The free version of this software is the Trimmer. It worked great for my editing and saving purposes.

Tried NCH's VideoPad Editor but after the trial runs out, you have to keep loading a new copy. Solveig program works just like the NCH program but so far I haven't had to reload it due to the trial period ending. It's pretty easy and if I can figure it out, any beginner can figure it out. My capture software captures in AVI and this worked well. Solveig is lossless. Also, if you need to re-edit, it doesn't recreate a whole new video so it takes much less time. You can also cut more than one section at a time which also saves time. I have found this website to be of great help in copying vhs tapes to my computer and to DVDs. It is a daunting task for someone who has never attempted this sort of thing. Your head will spin after reading all that is on the internet but this software made the task a little bit easier.

Could use step buttons to get exact frame for cutting, but I had already used avidemux to get the exact times. Could also be a little more intuitive using the slider/marks. I would have just used avidemux to edit my mkv in the first place, but would have had to reencode just to keep the correct aspect ratio, so Solveig came in very handy. Overall it's a valuable tool even if I have to use another program to use step.

This is by far the easiest Mkv/Avi cutter I have ever used and it does accept dts/ac3/mp3 audio incorporated in those types of files without a glich..Will not accept mp4/aac video.You probably have to buy the paid version for those types of files...;)~

NOTE: Does not seem to support Dolby TrueHD Audio currently, and has problems with Scene Detection.
Great that it's free, however wanted to trim a blu ray rip mkv file I created with "MakeMKV"
Immediately got the error: "Unable to render selected stream. Check neccessary codecs are installed. Audio (AC3)"
Video was there but no sound.
Audio was Dolby TrueHD, so re-ripped blu ray with Dolby Digital 5.1 and this time it worked, however with both rips also got the error message: "Unable to Start Scene Detection. Contact Support Team"

In would be nice if selecting the cut point was easier but it's fast and makes cuts of mkv files without stutter or audio sink problems. I haven't found any tools that work as well for trimming mkv. It is more reliable than Avidemux for mkv files.

Thought it seemed a bit light at first but it did exactly what I needed (trimmed an MKV) in seconds and I didn't have to go through all the bull that AviDemux required and actually worked in the end. Highly recommended.

I realise the previous posts are old (+2 years), and some are irrelevant (SMM AT is not designed to trim wmv files!).
SolveigMM AVI Trimmer is designed to trim avi and mkv files. It does that job very well. I don't know any other freeware than can trim mkv that easily. Of course there's the excellent mkvewizard, but it's nowhere as easy.
The shareware SolveigMM video splitter is even better and supports many more formats.

I tried at least 6 wmv files and it did not manage to trim even one. Always the same message "unknown error". AsfTools gave better results - atleast 4 out of 6 were trimmable. Windows Movie Maker was able to trim all of them.

Congratulations to Solveig for making this program available. It is a limted but highly useful tool in a 'market' otherwise dominated by expensive and/or immature/amateur software.
However this program lacks the simplest of functions such as a slider that is a usable size. Instead you need to perform minor scale adjustments through trial and error with the text box settings. Time and again I've tried to drag the 2 pixel wide slider half a pixel (an impossible task) to take the video back a few frames to just where I want it. This is not possible. Therefore this tool is almost unusable if you want fine grained control. Simply moving the selection from one second before a fade-to-black commercial break transition, into the transition, can be tough.
Are these limitations deliberate in order to encourage people to buy their payware product?

Make sure you don't install it to a common directory (ie. D:\Tools\ ) since it will delete it on uninstall w/o checking if other files are there!!!
Cost me 4 hours to recover all the other tools it removed.

I usually use a video clipper called AVI MPEG ASF WMV Splitter. But there are some .avi files with which it causes the audio and video to get off synch when it clips them.
I tried this program on the problematic files with no synching problems. Very impressive for such a small piece of software. I did notice that some of the longer clips had a few extra seconds in the beginning, and I can see how that might become a problem with larger clips.
The program has no video preview, but I give it a lot of credit for handling video files that non-free software couldn't.
Great for cutting small clips from difficult AVIs.

I have found that many of the basic trimming programs that decode/reencode lose video quality in the process. Also, they are very slow.
Videos split with this tool show no loss of quality. Trim is fast, and takes few system resources. The UI could not be simpler to understand: File in, File Out, Start Time, End Time. That's all the inputs. When it works, it works well.
The catch is, it will not work with all AVIs. In some cases, setting it up to cut a video in half will result in the output file containing the entire video anyways, with a similar file size. Not sure what properties of the video trigger this.
The time settings do not seem to be accurate. Setting to split at mid video by time seems to give about 15% more to the first half. The total input video length is set as the end value by default upon launch. If you do not write down the video length, you will not be able to get this value again unless you restart the program.
An improvement would be to show the total video length on the screen all the time. Other cool upgrades would be to do the math, and show the length of the segment you have selected, show the input file size, and estimated output file size. Extra fancy upgrade would be to allow splits as well as trims (ie: split into 2 pieces, 3 pieces, whatever).
In summary, works well and fast most of the time, primitive but simple interface, can't beat the price. Better at what it does than most payware trimming/splitting tools.
