Hello,
I just got a Hauppauge HD PVR which records H.264 video in ts, m2ts, or mp4 formats. Now I want to do some really simple cutting and splicing to trim off unwanted pieces. (Use case: removing commercials from TV shows.) Is there software that will let me do that without transcoding or re-encoding the video? I'm on Win normally but have access to Mac and Linux if necessary. Free options are preferred.
Thanks!

Hey there! Congrats on your new Hauppauge HD PVR! For simple cutting and splicing without transcoding or re-encoding, you might want to try out Avidemux. It's a free, open-source video editing software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Avidemux supports various formats including TS, M2TS, and MP4, so it should work well with your recordings. It allows you to easily trim off unwanted parts of your videos, like commercials from TV shows, without the need for complicated transcoding processes. Give it a shot and see if it fits your needs! Happy editing! hill climb racing

Hello faelanstevie,

We have 3 products: SolveigMM Video Splitter, WMP Trimmer plug-in, AVI Trimmer + (freeware).
Each one of them supports mp4 / ts with AVC/H.264 video, however, the frame accurate trimming is available only in Video Splitter and WMP Trimmer Plug-in Business Edition.
