Video Trimmer Programs?

[ArgentGrace]

Can anyone recommend any good video trimmer program.

I have been watching a couple of JAV movies and it starts out with 1 min of "advertisement".

I was wondering what are good video trimmer programs to cut that off, but still retain good video quality?

Thanks.

BoilsoftVideoSplitter is my favorite. It's easy to use but also powerful.

I have been using Mpeg Streamclip for years- free download and you can trim edit, combine videos. It's easy to use and has Mac or Windows versions.

Unfortunately there are no screenshots. It's a small tool (less than 1 MB), but also an old one (last release: 2008). They say that it works with "Windows XP or Windows Vista or Windows 7, but may also work in Windows 2000" - how about Windows 8 and 10?

I'm not sure, as I am a Mac user but I would guess it would as it is still a Windows world.

I've been using Avidemux and Machete lite. Some don't work with some videos and I've found it easier to just switch program rather than figure out what's wrong.

I've been using Bigasoft Total Video Converter 5, it's actively maintained (2015). A 2008 software may not have a good 64-bits executable.

If you are just cutting the annoying Chinese ad at the beginning of the file it takes less than 3 mins, the speed limit is due to HDD, not processing speed.

On a 8-core Xeon processor with lots of RAM, even re-encoding become quite fast. Actually about 15 minutes for a 2+ hour DVD to 480p re-encoding (2-pass). Doing a FHD vid was I think about 40+ minutes for 2 hour vid. It's fast enough that finally I feel like experimenting with different settings and parameters.

Also I found out it can convert multiple vids simultaneously at the same speed, each ffmpeg thread takes up a CPU core, still leaving me a couple cores to handle Windows services so I can actually do some useful work

If we're talking fastest encoders and not simply cropping out what we don't like and not adding in any filters, I'd recommend what we often use: DVDFab

It's not free, but it's one of the few encoders I know of that has NVIDIA CUDA support built right in. This means if you're using a NVIDIA graphics card, you can use the GPU along with your CPU for super fast encoding while keeping your CPU usage and temperature low.

On our system, I can rip a 1920x1080 movie at 150 FPS with CPU usage remaining under 50% and temperature around 65 degrees C.
Encoding without CUDA would drop FPS to 15-20 with CPU usage pegged near 100% and temperatures around 85 C. This is on a gaming laptop.

My Quicktime movie player (#7, I think) does a great job of editing .mov and mp4 video and my Realplayer has a trimmer which will edit movie files such as .wmv and .rm and even .mp3 and .wav files.
VLC media player will also edit just about any movie but has to be done in real time.
