Question ID: 441423
Is there a program that will allow me to simply edit a quick time
file(ideally with multiple in and out points) into multple files. i
need it to input mov files and output the same mov file (without
additionally compressing it). Works with win xp

Would QuickTime Pro be acceptable?

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/upgrade/

It looks like it can do the splitting, but possibly not quite as
simply as you would like.

I have never tried this software, but it sounds as if it might meet your needs:

I thought QuickTime Pro might be a little too obvious.  Unfortunately,
I have not been able to find anything that does multiple splits. 
Maybe someone else will.

do you want to splitted sections to be able to playback in their splitted form?

If playback is required I would seriously consider Quicktime Pro. It
is the most easy to use application for this purpose.

I mean,

open the movie in Quiktime.

select the region (SHIFT + drag), cut (CTRL+X), new player (CTRL+N), paste(CTRL+V)

I cannot think of a more simple workflow.

One thing you have to watch out for is that you save with source
(don't know the specific name/buttons right now) otherwise you only
make a shortcut to the selected section in the original movie. But you
will notice it if the filesize is to small.

If playback isn't necessary, you can use the FREE command prompt
program 'split' http://www.martinvogel.de/prog/split.exe.

type 'split -b 635m fileToSplit.mov' (without the quotes). this will
split the file into 635 MB large pieces named xaa, xab, xac etc.

to join again use the program 'cat'. Type 'cat xaa xab xac >
joinedFile.mov' (without the quotes).

This works perfectly with binairy and ASCII files.

to get split and cat, download the GNU Unix Tools http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/.
