Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.

A Russian company from Tomsk with name, address&phone and a picture of the owner. The company is on the market since 2003. We had a a previous Media Splitter on 2006, long time ago.

Upon start a resizable interface opens, on my screen nearly unreadable - white on grey:

You can change the color in the settings, but not the font size:

The program splits the video automatically in 15 sec slices, this makes it easy to define the parts to cut. The cut out can be adjusted to the frame.
It is not a converter, you cannot define an other output forma, than the input is. But you can select audio only or video stream only.

In the tools, you'll find a join manager, too. ->splitter&joiner.

In my short test, it does what it claims. It works fast and is easy to handle.

I'll keep it, because of its fast handling of deleting unwanted scenes.

PS A short primer on why frame accurate matters

Video is encoded as a series of frames, made up into groups called groups of pictures (GOPs). The first frame in each group is a full frame, the whole picture as it were, with the other frames in that group only recording changes - a bit like full backup vs differential backups:

IxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc where I is a full frame and the x frames record only changes.

The problem comes when you want to cut on a x frame. Non frame accurate editors can't do it. They have to edit at the GOP level. If the GOPs are quite long, as they can be, especially but not only in mp4 video, then you can't cut where you want to cut.

Frame accurate editors fix this by re-encoding the relevant GOP so that in effect the x frame you want to cut on becomes a full frame. So if you wanted to cut in the the middle of the second GOP above, what you would get is:

IxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIxxxxxxxxxxxxx etc

The other GOPs are then simply copied, which is why frame accurate editors are fast - they only re-encode GOPs that need to be re-encoded.

Unable to install as the program aborted the installation itself.

Not too bothered to be honest as have a perfectly good Free program that does the same more or less, it is called Avidemux 2.6 and is available at Avidemux.org.

Just to cut the video there is also Moo0 Video Cutter 1.07 (Free) available from:-

Thank you for your response to my problem, in an attempt to obtain a screenshot I ran the setup program again.
My very old installation (five years) of XP S3 this time quite happily accepted it without complaint.

Very pleased that it did as after a quick test on a number of video files (FLV, AVI, MP4) was very impressed with the ease-of-use.
At 72 years old I do find the time above the frames difficult to read, if when I hover my mouse pointer over them the option for them to be magnified would be a great help.

Thank you again for your response, much appreciated.
