Mpg2Cut2

Mpg2Cut2 is a lightweight Windows utility built specifically for helping you perform video editing operations.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to edit video files on the breeze.

Mpg2Cut2 sports a clean interface that gives users the possibility to access its features by using a virtual keyboard. It is important to mention that hotkeys are also available for a better control of the entire process.

The program offers support for the following file formats: VOB, MPEG, MPV, PVA, TS, M2V, and others. You can drag and drop the videos directly into the primary panel or use the built-in browse function.

Plus, Mpg2Cut2 enables you to create a list with the videos to be edited, sort them by name, date, or time, as well as change the file name.

It is possible to preview the videos directly in the primary panel, adjust the levels for gamma, brightness, contrast, and saturation, split files by selecting a start and end point, play the videos in a fast or slow mode, pause or stop the current video selection, and seek a position in the video stream.

When it comes to exporting options, you can save the selected clip to a file, join all videos in a single MPG file, extract the audio streams and subtitles, as well as save split video streams (e.g. 1,2, or 4 GB) to MPG format.

Last but not least, you can take screenshots, make file associations, crop the top and bottom edges of the clips, apply deinterlacing effects, zoom in or out, and configure the audio parameters (e.g. auto volume control, limit loud sounds).

All things considered, Mpg2Cut2 comes packed with useful features for helping you edit video files. On the downside, the entire process is not very intuitive, and rookies may spend some time trying to configure the dedicated parameters.
