Q: is there a way to cut a 10 second clip from a h264 video (downloaded from youtube) to later use it in web browsers with no quality loss?

try this one...
/usr/bin/env ffmpeg -y -ss 0:03:18 -i cook.mp4 -t 0:00:10 -c copy cook-start.mp4 &> cook-start.txt


Does ffmpeg suffer from the same problem as AVIdemux that cuts must be made on a GOP boundary in order for the cut to be clean? Or does it recode a few full and differential frames so that the second clip of a cut always starts with a full frame followed by regenerated differential frames *wrt that full frame*, until the next full frame in the source video, like VideoReDo does?

Apologies for terms full and differential, but I can never remember which are I, B and P frames.

Is MPEG2 more prone to this problem than H264?
