Good Editor for H264

[abrogard]

I have a lot of little video clips with the same intro at the beginning. All I want to do is join them together minus this intro throughout.

They are all .mp4 files and I was surprised to find none of my video editors would handle them.

Then I was directed to avidemux but it told me they are H264 files and gave me an option of possibly getting a 'crash or stuttering' or using an alternative process and losing 'frame accuracy'.

So I don't know what to do.

How best to cut out that intro in each clip and join them together?

I don't much care what the finished format is as long as the quality stays pretty good.

Seems to me they need converting to some other format and then editing in that format. They could stay in that final format I guess.

So that'd mean - to what format and with which tool and edited with which tool?

Try Avidemux 2.6 beta, instead of 2.5.

There's also a commercial editor called SolveigMM Video Splitter. Haven't tried it myself but read good things about it. There is a demo version you can try.

VideoRedo H264 version would probably handle that very well using it's Join Tool. In theory it should be able to do it without reencoding, as long as the format, video resolution, etc. is the same in all the files.
