Basic AVCHD non-lossy file trimming - your suggestions?

[AndreWilley]

Any suggestions as to the best freeware (or low price shareware) utility to do basic (non-lossy) AVCHD file trimming in Windows 7?

I've got a Canon HF S10 camcorder which creates seperate MTS files for each sequence, most of which have some junk footage at the start or end which I simply want to roughly crop off - but without harming or re-encoding the main video or embedded timecode/etc data in any way. If it could also append two MTS clips together too, that'd be a bonus but not essential. I used to use VideoReDo Plus for MPEG2 files, so something akin to that would be great.

For proper editing I'll be using Premiere Pro CS4, but I don't know if that can do simple stream-copy trims like this.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Andre

There aren't that many avchd lossless cutters out yet.

Transport Stream Packet Editor
Smart Cutter Ps/Ts
tsMuxeR (very basic splitting/joining)
Maybe avidemux and output as a mp4.

What about TsSniper and H264TS_Cutter?

I think I read that a version of VideoRedo that handles h.264 is in beta now.
