AVI Trimmer Component

When you’re developing software, you don’t always have to start from scratch. There are many components which you can find online to help you implement the features that you’re trying to achieve. For example, you could be developing a video editing application, where you undoubtedly have to integrate a considerable number of complex functions.

Even a basic feature such as trimming video files can take a lot of work to implement. If you’re looking for a simple component that could serve as a starting point for working on the feature, you could also take a look at Solveig’s Multimedia AVI Trimmer Component.

Though it’s an older tool, the developers responsible for it have went on to create many lightweight video editing and debugging programs for both home users and professionals. Unzip the file, install the component, and then figure out how to integrate it in your own development.

Keep in mind that you can view the application as a demonstration for the basics of using Microsoft Foundation classes, while it also servs as a starting point for writing your own application. The type of files that you’ll find the application’s folder (and be able to use yourself) include the DSP (the project file), the CPP (main application source file), the CLW (containing information used by ClassWizard to edit or add classes) and the ICO (used as the application’s icon)
