    Editing MKV for Plex Server?

    That's why I referenced the ""TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer" software. It's Window's only and not free ($70), but I've been using a version of it since 2005 for editing mpeg-based video with no re-encoding. It was the only software I knew of at the time that could simply edit mpeg files without...

    Editing MKV for Plex Server?

    I do my share of trimming. Like I said previously, mostly related to TV shows to remove teasers. I also despise that Studio Canal not only plays their logo when the disk is started but also before each episode of a TV shows played. When my kids were small, I would trim out bits of old Disney...

    Editing MKV for Plex Server?

    The audio is carried along untouched (other than where it is cut). While I never specifically checked before, I just did a sample that had both 6 channel English and French tracks. Both were preserved just fine. If you are concerned about other audio track formats, you may have to try it to find...

    Editing MKV for Plex Server?

    Actually, there is software that will do exactly what you request. However, it is not free. It is "TMPGEnc MPEG Smart Renderer 6" (maybe someone else will know of free software). It costs $70. I've been using various "TMPGEnc" software for over a decade for trimming, converting, and authoring...
