justinrh 174 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Does someone know of a reliable GUI tool I can use to scrub a TS video to cut out certain sections, then save it back to TS w/o any transcode (no processing)? I've tried a few apps (including avidmux) but they have not been reliable or they force a transcode. Â Yeah, I'm lookin' at you @arrbee99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Yes well, I'm good at looking for them, not so good at finding them. I just chopped the beginning and end off a two and a half hour .ts recording and saved it as a .ts fine using Avidemux though. Seemed OK to me. Just a SD not HD movie. Don't think Avidemux is too bad if you stick to keyframes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 174 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 What settings did you use for 'video output' and 'output format'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Nothing special - Video Output - Copy Audio Output - Copy Output format - Mpeg TS Muxer (ff) - the only thing that mentioned TS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 174 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 That's what I tried and I get an error upon save. But sometimes I can't even get the cuts to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1551 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Well mostly I'm editing mkvs and mp4 and I just get Avidemux moaning occasionally about saving not on keyframes, which I guess is different from your situation. Sometimes with that it helps to let it save and then just load the saved version back into Avidemux and save it again without any editing / changes at all. So might possibly help if you can edit, and if it will save to do that (even if its not a keyframe thing). Or maybe try loading the original into avidemux and saving without changes as a new .ts file, then actually editing that new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmcroy 315 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Avidemux will only save without transcoding the file if you make the cuts on I-frames. Even if the cuts are not on I-frames it's supposed to only transcode the section at the cut and re-join the file together. However, I have found that doing it that way sometimes makes the overall video file out of sync with the sounds to video. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 174 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Thanks for that @arrbee99. Saving out as TS (even with the error) then reopening it seemed to make the edits work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
