This tool is the only one which has allowed me to join multiple HD captures into a single file. The program strength is purely based on that, which is more than enough to be the best one out there for this specific purpose. I had a hard time looking for something useful, and tried more than one software, first of all freeware but later also trialware: h264ts cutter crashed trying to open big files (more than 8GB in size), AviDemux is a bit tricky and sometimes claims it can't handle some kind of videos or can't mux a .ts file containing only a video stream and is not frame accurate (not even when trying to split exactly on Intra frames), VideoReDo didn't open all the .ts files I wanted to join and SolveigMM Video Splitter wasn't even frame-accurate)
I have to admit this is the first time I try to do such a thing, so maybe I'm not experienced enough to comment but right now this is what I can report.
With Smart Cutter all of the original clips remain untouched, only the last GOP before the cut and the first GOP of the appended clip are reencoded, which is great because the result is brilliant, nobody can spot the transition, and the reencoded few images retain a fantastic quality, at least in my case. I have to recommend this program, although it's UI isn't great and too expensive in my opinion, but the program does very well at splitting and joining clips and is truly frame accurate. |
