Free Video Dub?

[StephanP]

Hi,

Anyone any experiences with Free Video Dub from DVDVideoSoft.com?

"Free Video Dub is the free video editing software that lets you delete unwanted parts from video files without re-encoding. And "without re-encoding" means without loosing original quality!!! This is a lossless video editing, which is very fast. Supports many MPEG files: MPEG 1, MPEG 2 and even MPEG 4 AVI, MOV, MP4, M4V, MPG and FLV files including DivX and XviD."


It'd appear as an easy way to edit AVI (DivX, Xvid, MPEG 4), MPEG 1 and 2 video!

It does less than virtualdub or avidemux, and despite what it says, you cannot simply cut wherever you like without some re-encoding. So either it does re-encode to some degree, or you can only cut on key frames.

Regardless, the latest Virtualdub with Smart Encoding, or AVIDemux will do all this claims to do, plus a lot more, and is well tested. The only real difference is probably support for FLV cutting, for which frankly, I see little point.

Thanks for the advice.
I kind'a expected something like this.
Given the difference in download/install, I'll opt for VirtualDub plus MPEG2 extensions.
