Best editor for dashcam footage

[Anonymous]

What is the best editor to edit dash cam footage. It would only be simple things like cutting/joining/ brightening/contrast and maybe adding text so don't want to go through vegas

AVIDemux would be one possibility. Or if you need more features, VirtualDub FilterMod.
What formats would you want to convert them to? Not sure how either handle MJPG.

Don't really need to convert at all. Just basic edit cut/join/brighten.contrast

With brightness and contrast....you will be re-encoding.

Be wary of that 32.0 kHz audio too.

Ok didn't know that.

What formats would you want to convert them to?

They are 720HD. Want to keep quality not sure what you mean by format do you mean container

I will not use sound because it would be recording the car radio or pssenger talking but am curious why the audio may be an issue

Because it's a weird 32khz instead of a more standard 44.1khz(CD Audio) and 48khz(TV/DVD Audio). Seems like they did this as a way to cut down on the overall bitrate by sampling the mono audio less per second. As long as the decoder decodes it at the right sampling rate then there should be no real problem with playback or encoding it to something like MP3/AAC. But encoding it to a higher sampling rate might cause some slight losses as resampling is never perfect.

Thanks for the explanation

I am trialling wondershare video converter ultimate. I saw on another thread wondershare products are not recommended here. Why is that? Is there adware or spyware? I got no alerts

The company promotes its products by spamming forums and using other underhanded tactics and operates under several different brand names. They have also been accused of using freeware in their product without abiding by the license.

OK i didn't know about the spam or use of freeware without abiding by license. But i think they also produce aimersoft video converter?

Yes, as I recall, that is another of their brand names, and the software may be the same as Wondershare's under the hood, but with a cosmetically different UI.

The one i have seen the GUI is very similar. They also make photorec
