Where do you get your good Lost icons from?

Let's say that you've downloaded a movie or a tv show. And you want to snip out a few minute clip of it to keep. What free, very easy to use program might one use? I used to have uhm ... something. Yeah, I don't remember what I used to have so I guess I should just end this sentence right about here. Or here. Wait, that's a second sentence and this is a third, shit.

Also, if possible this program should save things as the size they should be. I mean, the program I used before would cut out a two minute clip and it'd be about 50mb and that's not right. NOT RIGHT AT ALL, ya'll.

Yes. Pleh, please.

Hodges' version of an alcholic Brass was the funniest thing ever.  "No, I choose life." It's still making me giggle. And then this recent one with, [slightly paraphrased] "We can't do anything, they've layered up."  is making me laugh. A lot.

Why do I find it so funny? I don't know.

I use virtual dub-it's dead easy but also really accurate and good-I know a lot of people who use it.

All right, once I've downloaded and unizipped virtual dub ... what do I do next?

If you open up the file, skip along to the bit you want. I think it's automatically set up so that the arrow keys skip ahead/backwards by one frame at a time, which is handy. At the bottom there's a row of keys, the two on the right are the ones you want-if you hover over them, they should say mark in and mark out. Click mark in where you want the bit to begin and mark out where you want it to end, and then it's file> save segmented .avi

I hope that helps and if not, lemme know :D

Yah, I tried opening the file up and it wouldn't open it. :/

Not at all? Sometimes it'll give me a warning box but if I hit okay it opens fine. If not, then I've got no clue-is it just a standard avi file you're using?

I'm pretty sure it was just a standard avi file. I'll give it a try again sometime.
