I have ripped DVDs with MakeMKV, but there is this one scene that I wanted to get from the movie that I have ripped, and edit it a little bit.Normally I leave MKV file as is, but sometimes I would use the Handbrake to isolate a scene for just a viewing purpose. But when I try to edit the MP4( or is it a M4V?) it's usually not compatible, or only the audio works, or sometimes it looks horribly bitcrushed or something.I haven't pirated video editing software since Sony Vegas like 15 or something, so I'm assuming that software is just really old. But what's the most accessible format/codec/container to make small quick edits in?
What kind of edit?
>>1541747It's nothing too crazy, I was going to put two clips side by side to show how similar they are. But the clip I ripped from the MKV couldn't be added to this old version of Sony Vegas.
>>1541751It may sound stupid but I would do this using OBS.
>>1541753Ah, I see. so just screen record the clip off of a media player instead of using the raw file or something. I guess that will have to do. I probably would also have to record both clips to make sure they have the same frame rate to avoid that "ghosting" or "combing" effect.
>>1541755Learn how to use ffmpeg
>>1541742These are easy one, they might not be able to do what you want:https://mifi.no/losslesscut/https://github.com/dfaker/WebmGeneratorhttps://github.com/ozmartian/vidcutterhttps://www.opus.pro/https://www.ezvid.com/These are more fully-featured:DaVinci ResolveKdenliveShotcutOlive (this one is in alpha but has a nicer gui than previous two)

i use shotcut
>>1541756>>1541763Thank you for the suggestions. I had been fiddling around with the ffmpeg stuff, and have only managed converting the WHOLE file instead of just a snippet of it. It's also kind of deep fried with Jpeg looking artifacts But I'm assuming I can damn near anything in the command prompt just need the right filters or something.>>1541761I haven't been able to open any of my files in Vidcutter, but I might be missing something. And I can try the other video editing software as soon as I am able to. >>1541762This seems like a more literal thing that I was looking for. I will definitely try this out.

>>1541767>ffmpeg snippetffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:02:00 -to 01:20:33 -c copy output.mp4-c copy so it copies the video rather than re-encoding it-ss [start] -to [end] extracts a snippet from [start] to [end]I think by using commas you can refer to specific framesI recommend using a chatbot like chatgpt or duck.ai to more quickly prototype commands.>>1541761Ooh, lossless cut seems cool. I find kdenlive to sometimes be quite clunky.
