Smart Cutter for DV and DVB

Smart Cutter PS / TS is a software that can split and join video files of various formats, including MPEG, AVCHD and DVD.
The program doesn't need to be installed, so you can place Smart Cutter PS / TS on an external device and run it on any computer because the Windows registry entries will not be changed.
The user interface of the application is a little unusual, compared to other similar software. Also, you can go to the "Options" menu and view the online step-by-step tutorial.
So, once you have opened a video file (the "drag and drop" method is not supported), you can move two sliders (long range and short range) to seek difference video frames.
Then you can set the start and end points and hit the "record" button (the red circle) to initiate the transcoding process.
You can view the progress, output destination, speed, disk space, as well as elapsed, remaining and total time. You can also pause or cancel the process, or enable the computer to shutdown after the task is completed.
Furthermore, you can merge multiple videos by adding them to the list on the right side of the screen, enable "Link" and then press the "Record List" button.
In the "Options" menu you can select the output directory, action to take when files with the same name already exist, enable full screen mode and automatic deinterlace, and more.
The program uses a moderate amount of system resources and manages to complete a task in a short amount of time. We haven't come across any problems during our tests.
Since Smart Cutter PS / TS is easy to use even by novices (once they have read the guidelines), we strongly recommend this software for cutting and merging video files.
