I wonder if there is a good Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) cutter out there. Preferable free, but if it is a commercial one it is OK.


It must fix :

- Subtitle PID's to be intact.
- Keeping the AC3 soundtrack PID intact.

I have tried Elecard Xmuxer PRO - but it can't handle AC3 PID's nor subtitle PID's.

Source for my files are :

Video: MPEG4 Video HDTV (H264) 1920x1088 - recorded using a dreambox HD 800 PVR.

Note - i'm not an expert, and prefear a "one click" software, rather than 382837 script files :)

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your container (and hence this is in the wrong forum).

For MP4, YAMB/MP4Box.
For MKV, MKVMergeGUI/MKVMerge in the MKVToolnix package.

Hi,
my reco, assume you have a transport stream container (.ts, .m2ts), I am dealing with the same type of material, never had a glitch so far, ;-):

TSRemux (ver 0.0.2.0)
- use e.g. MPC to figure out trim points
- use TSRemux to apply the trim
* if you specify just a few secs to be remuxed that can be fairly fast and you get perfect cut points, write them down and apply them on the whole stream

Process:
** do a 'dry-run' w/o trim points to clean-up the file than in the second run
** start with Trim Beginning: click the Trim End Hour up until the full length is shown
** input the desired Trim Beginning (from MPC check), reduce Trim End by ~10secs
** that way you end up muxing only 10secs trimmed at the beginning - FAST! - search for best cut point by adjusting
** do the same for Trim End: click the Trim Beginning Hour up until full length is shown
** input the desired Trim End (from MPC check), reduce Trim Beginning by ~10secs
** that way you end up muxing only 10secs trimmed at the end - FAST! - search for best cut point by adjusting
** enter the found cut points in Trim Beginning and Trim End and remux

Works very well, for me. All freeware!
