What does HackerNews think of lossless-cut?

https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut is another great ffmpeg-based tool. For me it is a starting point for blocking videos out of fragments. It works immediately and has nice UI (not just "enter time into integer fields").

Ask HN: Best ways to extract clips from streaming services | Apr 2023

I am not sure about the DRM protection from services like Netflix etc. The easiest way would be to somehow obtain a video file and use a tool like losslesscut to extract the clips without re-encoding. 0 quality loss this way.

Guide to FFmpeg | Dec 2022

I'm late with this reply but I've found LosslessCut[1] works quite well for what I need (cutting gameplay footage to upload to youtube). It doesn't have very many features though.

Try this: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

I am using the binary on macOS. The UI is a bit idiosyncratic but it works quite well and is ideal to cut a video down to the essential parts without loss of quality.

That's exactly what I do. From videos I use losslesscut [1] to isolate the sentences I want to practice on and then turn those into anki flashcards with some custom tools I wrote.

FFmpeg Drawtext Filter for Overlays, Scrolling Text, Timestamps on Videos | Oct 2020

There's this: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

My startup is using ffmpeg filters to create video courses so the GUI is aimed towards that use case rather than being flexible: https://blog.modernlearner.org/product-update-split-content-...

The results aren't bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-NjLrwTyxs

Great results depend on fine-tuning of the ffmpeg filters and having great quality video to work with.

The ffmpeg filter mini-language is easy to work with when you're targeting a particular use-case.

There's a great ffmpeg GUI for doing the same thing (and more) called LosslessCut [0].

Ask HN: Quick video cutting software | Mar 2018

I use Shotcut (https://shotcut.org) and it's been a good experience for very simple cutting/editing.

If you strictly only need to trim/cut, Lossless-Cut (https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut) may also be an option (and faster).

Electron considered harmful | Nov 2016

Stupid essay is stupid, but I'm glad it pointed me to lossless-cut because that tool is great! The author completely misses the point of Chromium in berating lossless-cut for being "a graphical UI for two ffmpeg flags". Yes, exactly, it's a GUI that lets you cut video to the precise frame you want to. That exactly solves a problem I've had for a long time; I've been using a horrible ffmpeg command line alias (along with preview in VLC) for a year now. He's a little right about "It doesn’t even use ffmpeg to decode the video preview in the app"; that would be useful for supporting weird formats that Chromium doesn't. But for common formats lossless-cut is great. It's at https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut
