var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "Split Movie Sampler provides a convenient way to preview large video clip files found on Usenet or elsewhere that have been split into smaller parts with Master Splitter or similar programs without having to download and join every piece of the set. The program only needs the first (.001) piece.

Most movie formats will play only using the first portion of the file. These formats are MPG, MPEG, WMV, ASF, MOV, and some AVI files. Even MP3 music files can be sampled using only the first piece. Unfortunately, some AVI files cannot be sampled this way.

When Split Movie Sampler is installed, it associates itself with "001" files. Then when you launch these files from your newsreader or Windows Explorer, the program opens, copies the split file piece to a temporary folder, prepares it for viewing, and launches it in the appropriate player. Then when you are finished sampling the movie, the program optionally deletes the temporary file. This is all done in one easy step using only the first piece of the split file so there is no need to download the whole set and join all pieces just to sample it.

You can also select files to be sampled from within the program."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
