Hi!
I'm working on a Civ2 Scenario and I now came to the point where I have to find specific sounds for it. I have the video (Robotech) where I plan to cut things from but I have no idea how to do it. What software can help me do this? Perferably a free one.

Also I have a 1:31h recording from my friend that I wanted to save on a disk. The trouble is that it is way over 700 MBs and doesn't fit. Is there a way to compress it (so that one can still listen to it) OR split it and save on 2 CDs?

Thank you!

Cheap and cheerful: Windows Recorder will chop (any) sound and save as a WAV.

What about cutting sounds from a video?

I think it just records whatever sound the computer makes, so you can play the video (with any filters) and start/stop recording whenever you like.

It is not a professional tool though, it does not have much in the way of editing features

Your sound card may have come with similar free tools.

Try Audacity. Here's a list over its feautures (taken from the link):
# Record live audio.
# Convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs.
# Edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files.
# Cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together.
# Change the speed or pitch of a recording.

And best of all it's Open Source, meaning it's free!
