Cutting mpeg movie files (mpgtx)

Last modified on July 24, 2026 • 1 min read • 67 words I recorded a documentary from TV as mpeg2. To be able to distribute it via the internet I need to shrink its size and I am using the DivX codec. But first I wanted to trim the beginning and the end. I used mpgtx  , a very handy command line tool. There are Suse RPMs from Packman  . The command was mpgtx -s tutkittu_juttu.mpg [00:22.50-26:55.00] -o cut.mpg
