cutting h264 video without re-encoding

[dhawald3]

I have a h264 video in mp4 container.

I want to cut some portions of the video without re-encoding

I tried virtualdub but it does not recognise the file type .

please suggest any other software to do it .

You could try MP4box. Note that it can only cut on keyframes.

MP4Box is a command line application. If you are looking fo a GUI to it, try Cut Assistant or YAMB.

Hi,
MPEG Streamclip or AviDemux will do what you want.

I'm trying to trim my clip, downloaded Streamclip and marked the in and out points, saved as another MP4 but the resulting file has 0 bytes. So Streamclip doesn't appear to work at all.

Have you tried YAMB or avidemux??

I just trimmed and joined some mp4-AVC-H.264 files from my Sanyo Xacti HD2000 camcorder using Mpeg Streamclip and it was a breeze!

Simply open the video files you want to join all at once or one after another (I think they'll need to have the same resolution, encoding etc).

If you choose "Export as mp4" it will re-code, so you need to select "Save As" from the FILE menu.

I know this thread is really old but it is still the first result on google when you search for "trim mp4 without re encoding". I just found this piece of software that worked magnificently.

It appears to be one of those video editing programs that is actually free with no strings attached. Just need to be careful when installing so you opt of of the browser tool bar it is bundle with.

What about SolveigMM Splitter? It's just been redesigned for H.264, works great.
