splitting a WMV file?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Windows Movie Maker in XP will do it. The program is a little strange, that
is if you have used other NLE software before, in that when a video is
imported it breaks it up into several smaller chunks as it places the entire
video within the interface. Whether you can cut one of these segments to
match the exact length of the video you want I do not know. I just open it
from time to time in order to attempt to assist others with basic questions
about the program.

Thanks Larry and Martin. I've got Windows Movie Maker and just
downloaded ASFTools and I'll give them a try.
