Windows 10: Simple FREE LOSSLESS MKV/MP4 editor (Cut sections)

Hi there
I found this SIMPLE Free video editor -- I basically just want to remove bits of MKV / MP4 rips without any loss in quality for example I'm saving some classic old TV programs from a Classic Movie Satellite channel and want to remove the breaks.

Look for THIS program

Free Video editor V 1.4.13 build 805

DO NOT USE ANY LATER VERSION as the lossless copy (set format to Original) is now a PAID for feature and the program comes with a lot of added bloatware.

I really hate it when people do that -- when a pointless upgrade removes a feature and makes it paid for !! plus adding Bloatware when you download.

However this version is so simple and easy to use I still recommend it (version I've listed)

Warning :


"BEWARE! As of v1.4.15 this software now requires you to pay to have lossless conversion of videos; this was a feature that was FREE in earlier versions."

Here's a link to the decent version

MEGA

Here's what the GUI looks like





when saving just save without checking tag boxes

use the scissors symbol for start and end of each cut.
Program saves without remuxing / conversion so very good for losssless snipping unwanted bits of video. Save is very fast as there's no conversion if you keep original format.

There's conversion available but I don't use it.

Works fine on mp4/mkv/m2ts original files and a load more

pity they ruined it with the update --so DON'T UPDATE.

Cheers

How to view "cover-art" of mkv videos on Win10 (thumbnails)

Hello everybody!

There is a small "thing" which troubles me a bit. I have quite big own movie library, mostly MKV files and additionally MP4s. To edit meta data and movie cover of MP4 is simple and easy by 3rd party SW and this cover is then nicely visible in File Explorer
and in Films&TV app as well. But when comes to MKV there is a problem with it.

For editing meta data, add subtitles, another audio stream and movie cover I am using 3rd party SW - "MKVToolNix GUI" and "MKV Tag Editor". Both apps allow me to add an attachment which I always named simply "cover". I was led by plenty youtube and web manuals
for editing MKVs but I stayed without resolution.

Is MKV fully supported video container/file in Windows and if so why it does not show thumbnails as any other formats? Please help me to solve it - maybe I am just doing it not that way it should be done, or it does now work from totally different
reason.

Many thanks in advance to everybody who will read it and answer me!

 

Leave it.

MP4 and MKV are video containers, not formats. Not all MP4 and MKV videos are equal...

 

Hi, have a look at AVIDemux (freeware, Sourceforge) which someone recommended here. Very fast indeed for cutting chunks out.

1/55? Really?




Did you use the wrong link, download from a bad source, press the wrong BIG GREEN BUTTON?

avidemux download | SourceForge.net

 

Hi there

that post is rather uninformative since what SOFTWARE are you reporting as being infected with Malware --the one I posted or the AVIDEMUX

I certainly have no malware on mine and I suspect that @dalchina has no malware on his software so your post is totally uninformative.

I know a lot of these so called video converters come with bloat/mal/adware / pups / silly offers etc but if you get from a RELIABLE source and ensure you download the correct stuff then you shouldn't get any malware.

Totally uninformative? Huh?
The OP said "Here's a link to the decent version ... MEGA"
So I downloaded that ... and I reported the unfortunate AV results. Simple.

 

Hi there

If your AV software produces a weird result like that I can only surmise you must have either downloaded the wrong link or you've got a false positive

I can only surmise that judging by your number of posts - 8 vs > 3,000 of mine that you don't really understand how this Forum works -- very rarely indeed do people give links out for malware and they certainly would be warned if they want to stay on the Forum.

I can honestly say (and I've been in this business for many many years) that I've rarely had ANY virus on my computer - and that's also only using Windows defender and no other AV software at all.

You of course have to be careful when using those sites like Megaupload - but it's easily do-able --of course I'd prefer a dropbox or other link but sometimes you have to use the only place (other than even more dubious torrent sites) where you can get reasonably unrestricted access to the download link.

Never use "installers" or "helpers" though --if the software requires any of these "add-ons" then of course stay well away.

Some AV software is really poor at checking what is malware and what is OK --Symantec and Macafee (Mac Aweful !!) are usually THE WORST.

I'm using the program almost daily and have absolutely no issues with Malware / PUPs etc -- and I also check the router logs as well to ensure nothing untoward is happening. (BTW most people don't even KNOW how to check their router logs - but that is about the best place to see if your system is being compromised in any way by unauthorised users whether inbound or outbound.

I'm still interested in a suitable MKV editor, and a search brought me back here. I re-tried that MEGA link, hoping it would still work. It still does.

So I downloaded it ... and it's still corrupt. AVG quarantined it immediately upon scanning.

When will I ever find an MKV editor?

 

Hey Margrave55, here is a working link to Tucows download site for the old free version jimbo45 talk about:

http://www.tucows.com/preview/160023...+VIDEO++EDITOR

 

Thanks, Gordon. But no joy. AVG declares it "Win32:Open Candy-D", and quarantines it.
And virustotal.com threw a fit!

Just as an extra pair of eyes, I have downloaded this from both links available and run them through Kaspersky/malwarebites with no issues.

They both come back clean. (both packed & unpacked). So I agree with the others that both sources are clean.

 

Earlier tonight I followed that link to the tucows site. The big "Download Now" button in the middle of the page brought me a file that was LOADED with malware.

I don't know whether 19 mal-hits on virustotal is a world-record, but I've never seen anything that bad.

But on that same tucows page there's a sidebar on the right with a "Support URL" link. That link took me to DVDVideoSoft.com.

So I downloaded from there. The file shows as completely clean in AVG, and only 1 mal-hit out of 61 on virustotal.com.

So ... the publisher is in good shape, but it appears that tucows is fubarred.

 

So after all that trouble to get Free Video Editor, I finally have it.
It installs and it works.

But it's not free.

It's called "free". But you have to pay $9 per year. So how is that free?
Grrrr ...
