Splits WMV files into smaller chunks

WMV File Splitter

WMV File Splitter is a Node.js utility script for splitting WMV (Windows Media Video) files into smaller chunks. This is especially useful for managing large media files.

Features

• Configurable chunk sizes (in MB)
• Handles multiple WMV files in the input directory
• Moves processed files to a processed directory
• Uses fluent-ffmpeg for media processing

Prerequisites

• Node.js (>= 14.0.0)
• ffmpeg installed and added to PATH

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/wmv-file-splitter.git

# Navigate into the project directory
cd wmv-file-splitter

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Compile TypeScript
npm run build

Configuration

Edit config/config.json to specify the chunk size (in MB):

{
  "chunkSizeMB": 10
}

Usage

1. Place WMV files into the input directory.
2. Run the script:

npm run dev

The script will attempt to split each file into chunks based on the configured chunk size. The output will be placed in a folder within the output directory named after the original file and the chunk size, formatted as [originalFileName]-[chunkSizeMB]MB.

⚠️ Important: If an output folder already exists for a specific file and chunk size, the script will log a message and skip processing for that file to avoid overwriting.
