Program Similar to Mpg2Cut2 - But for Blu-Ray / HD-DVD Content

[devilcoelhodog]

There is a very nice program to cut / join dvd ( or vob) files like Mpg2Cut2, among others.

---> https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Mpg2Cut2

But, for Blu-Ray ( or even HD-DVD ) material someone create / wrote similar program?

To cut, join, extract , etc? For dvd we can find many options to edit them.

But, for Blu-Ray, does exist similar ones?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Nope.

Well, there are commercial programs that can edit BD files, but nothing for free. Your post is vague and doesn't say if you only want free or are willing to pay for something.

Hello, dear all.


@jman98

want free or are willing to pay for something

Both. My goal is to find programs such Mpg2Cut2 ( and others) that can cut, demux, join, extract, etc) but intead of DVD material, they can deal with Blu-Ray ( and /or HD-DVD).

For dvd we can find many options to do it ( free or not ). But, for Blu-Ray, not so much, I'm afraid.

If you can point some programs, it will be nice.

PS: why not so much spread/known/available programs concerning about Blu-Ray( editing, for example)? It is a more complex format to deal with? More complex to create programs that can handle with them?

Thanks for helping.

Best regards.

FCP and mpg2cut2 can't cut blu-rays.

tsmuxer might work but you must manually type in cut points, no preview.
tssniper hasn't been updated in a long time and will not work with all kind of m2ts(like all audio codecs)

[sanlyn]

TMPGenc Smart Renderer v4. Reads many HD formats and MPEG, assuming they comply with standards for those formats. Will edit and combine without re-encoding the whole thing, and includes a few features such as dissolves, etc. Not free, but they offer a trial version. If your source is encrypted, you'll have to clear that hurdle beforehand.

Thanks for all helping here, folks!

TMPGenc Smart Renderer

This program can cut/join/demux and other editing procedures concerning about Blu-Ray and similar content?

I wonder if someday someone could create /write ( if it's tecnically possible, of course!) some program like Mpg2Cut2 or DVD Shrink ( but for Blu-Ray material and structure ) to use.

As soon I get a Blu-Ray device I'll test on my PC such program!

If you have more tips about the subject, it'll be nice to hear!

Thanks again!

I just noticed something. You're using Win2000 ? ? ? There's no way you're going to work on BluRay with Win2K, a Pentium 4, and 512MB of RAM. I'd advise that you stop looking for hot new HD software and start looking for a cool new PC with a quad-core CPU minimum.

There are such programs already. They just don't work very well. h264TsCutter, TsSniper,

Sanlyn, does TMPGenc Smart Renderer v4 work with the hd audios that are in BDs?
That has been the bugaboo for a lot of the editors which many simply convert the hd audio to ac3.

[sanlyn]

Try browsing the link, which has several screens. Reads these audio formats:
MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (.mp2)
MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (.mp3)
Dolby Digital (.ac3) up to 5.1
Dolby Digital Plus (.ec3 [E-AC-3])
Linear PCM (.wav) (Uncompressed, or with the appropriate Codec correctly installed. Extensible format supported)
Advanced Audio Coding (.aac)
High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC) (.aac)
FLAC (.flac, .fla)

Hello, dear all.

@sanlyn

You're using Win2000 ? ? ?

Nope. I do use Window 7 32 bits.

a cool new PC with a quad-core CPU minimum.

I must to know if my PC has the enough power to run Blu-Ray or not. My PC is quite "old".

Thanks for the tips.

Best regards.

You should update your PC profile info. Your profile states you are using Win2K.

The system requirements and oteh specifications for the software are in the link to that provided. The specs are here: http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tmsr4_spec.html

VideoReDo but it doesn't support DTS.

My bad: it was outdated. Soon I'll put my current PC settings.

The system requirements and other specifications for the software are in the link provided. The specs are...

1) "Blu-ray editing requires at least 50 GB"

2) "NTFS***"

3) "Use of the product in a virtual desktop environment, virtual OS, virtual PC, or any other emulator environment is not supported."


------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Wow! I assume we need at least 200 Gb free to work without issues using Blu-Ray content?

2) And PAL Blu-Ray? How to work using such encoding system?

3) No emulation allowed? And for those who works under 64 bits?

Thanks for the tips!

Best regards.

BluRay requires lots of drive space, but so does most kinds of video work. The BluRay standard also includes smaller frame sizes, such as standard definition 720x480. Anything that uses big frames like 1920x1080 is going to take up more space.

Most video editors are compatible with PAL and NTSC.

Emulation: running a Windows application is a non-Windows environment that has the ability to emulate Windows, such as some versions of Linux. Nothing unusual about that restriction.
