I'd like to put my Video Disk Recorder streams (.trp) into a new container (.mkv), trim it at front at end and remove commercial breaks. Doing so OpenShot currently re-encodes the complete footage although it could direct stream copy from the .trp-file to the .mkv file. This is why I currently use ffmpeg to first demux the channels, OpenShot to get the exact timestamps of the cuts and mkvmerge to create a bunch of files. :(
As an idea for how to integrate the functionality in the UI, it would be very nice if one could chose "keep" (in the dropdown chooser with "Low", "Medium", "High") at the quality selection in the basic settings tab of the project export dialog (I'm not aware of the english dialogs, I use it in german). Selecting "keep" can then automatically set the video profile to the same as the footage. The container (e.g. mkv, avi, etc.) is determined by the export file's name. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Bugs, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508975 Title: Allow export without re-encoding Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Triaged Bug description: This is not a bug, it's a suggestion Yesterday I have discovered very occasional your programme and have tested. Congratulations, it works wonderfull, but I have a suggestion. I miss the copy function in video part as in audio part. I will explain it you: When I have exported a video in a certain codec, and I want still somewhere cutting a piece , then I must re-encoding the video completely. When there must be a copy function, I can copy the video and audio without de cut piece, that saves much time.
