If not, is there a better example, link or article capable of lossless H.264/Mpeg4 editing you mention?Īnd would MP4 container be better suited for this if not MKV? or what container would you suggest?Īlthough I don't fully understand your point.I use HuffyUV out of AviDemux to later open in VDUB(if necessary). something like this work? ".H.264 AVCHD MPEG2 frame accurate cutter without re-encoding." When you say that soon we will have editors that handle H.264 (mpeg4/divxplus/x264) in frame-accuracy, you mean in be able to edit and save them in a lossless way? For ex. So currently, any "lossless edible" codec (Ex: Mpeg2, Cineform) would have a larger file than "non-lossless edible" codecs have (Ex: Mpeg4/X264/DivxPlus).įor example: 700 MB mpeg4/divxPlus VS 4000MB Mpeg2 And I am sort of new to this so please correct me if I am wrong with any points. Yes when I say editing I mean cutting, joining, fading. I agree with your advice to always keep source/original files of best videos although it still would be nice to be able to re-edit my mpeg4's/DivxPlus (lossless) in the future. Keeping a separate copy of the Source always ensures the highest quality options in the future. This alone made this hobby so much easier for me decision-wise since target formats change all the time. Keeping a separate copy of the Source always ensures the highest quality options in the future.īut the best advice I can give you is to keep the true Source. Professionals use this for edits and to archive source afterwards.īut the best advice I can give you is to keep the true Source. It's not lossless in theory, but visually lossless.
It's not small, but it's much smaller than lossless formats. You can also look into CineForm, which can be handled by VirtualDub.
But, assuming SD, 8000kbps MPEG-2 with a good MPEG-2 encoder is usually very close to the source in transparency. However, I'm sure you realize that converting to MPEG-2 is lossy. (But maybe you may have to remux to a container other than MKV, which would be lossless anyway).Īs far as MPEG-2 is concerned, there are several great editors today that edit it losslessly (save for the very few frames close to the cuts and joins) such as VideoReDo, Womble and TMPGEnc MPEG Editor. Soon, you will not need an intermediary format, or even VirtualDub which is dependent on the VFW format. Not sure what you mean by "editing" but if it's only cuts, joins, and even fades, we are not far from having editors that will handle H.264 video in frame-accuracy for such tasks.
