Splitting a .264 file

[Shapierian]

Does anyone know of a utility that can be used to split a ".264" file without re-encoding?

hexeditor?

best would propably be to mux it into .mp4 and use mp4box/yamb for splitting

You can try muxing & splitting the raw stream into mp4 files with mp4box, then extract the it back again. Or you can do the same using MKVtoolnix, except the intermediary file would be mkv. The latter's got a GUI in the standard install, so it's probably easier.

and for using .mkv you would have to do a .264 -> .mp4 -> .mkv conversion and why do this if you can split the .mp4 anyways...

I assume that knowledge of the raw file's structure's required for that. Or do you really mean that I can split at byte-boundary, and the results would still be well-formed?

I know there are GUI front-ends for mp4box. I was just saying that since MKVtoolnix comes with a GUI "in the box" it might be simpler to install.

However, I thought MKVtoolnix can import raw files directly, but I was wrong. So I guess that does offset any kind of advantage in simplicity... :o
