You don't need special software. Just open the avi or what have you in notepad, and paste half the giberish in another notepad file and then save as .avi or whatever.


Its THAT easy.

Umm... yeah, notepad doesn''t save binary data, and you''d need the headers and stuff in your second file...

Since when does notepad "not save binary data"? Hopefully you realize that any .exe file can be opened, modified, and saved in notepad.

Ever since it was made.

About Notepad: It saves in text mode which means endline characters are formatted.

If you want an editor to save binary data, edit.com (the MS-DOS text editor) is perfectly good.
