VideoCut is a MP2/MP4 Cutter for Linux on base of mpv and ffmpeg. Cutting is lossless, the target file will not be reencoded.
It can be used for cutting out certain parts of the film. It handles avi,mkv,webm,vc1,mp2,mp4 (PS or TS). Other formats not tested but possible.
Lossless cutting implies not to reencode (decode/encode) the frames. So cutting can only be done at “I-Frames”. The library searches for the closest Frame at the given cutting point.
Reencoding is possible for exact cutting as well as converting to different containers and codecs.
VideoCut supports the cutting of subtitles when “Show subtitles” in the settings dialog is enabled. This flag will display the “first” subtitles stream and will cut all subtitles that have been defined in the “language” dialog.
This is free and open source software.
