Lack of support for mpeg-4 (h.264) is a deal breaker for me. I have heard such glowing reports from users of VideoReDo that I expected that you would be on top of this one. I was ready to buy this product to continue my journey through video editing and streaming via htpc. Whether as a main feature or as an additional plug-in, free or paid for, makes little difference to me after all these years of tweaking to stay current.

Believe me we know how important this is. I don't think I-Frame cutting will work too well since H.264 can have very long VOPs (the MPEG4 equivalent of GOPs). Each VOP can span multiple seconds.

Have you considered how cutting is done with gdsmux.exe that comes with latest Haali Media Splitter?
I think the cutting is done based purely on the .ts timestamps instead of the frame structure:
But the gdsmux tool is very primitive and the VideoRedo people could vastly improve it or do something like it...

1. double click gdsmux.exe
2. right click input area
3. add source
4. right click on video info box > preview; here you can make a selection:

it will save losslessly as a .mkv but will open and play just like a .ts file...

I would like to add another "Yes" vote for H.264 editing capability because recent announcements of the AVCHD palm size HD camcorders with hard drives and SDHC cards are recording in MPEG-4 H.264 format. In addition, the latest HDDVR plus provided by Directv satellite in US also records in MPEG-4 format.

Great news Dan!!

I use VideoReDo for all of my MPEG2 editing. With the announcement that all our digital terrestrial TV will be using MPEG4 over DVB-T, I was at a real loss as to what to edit it with.

Seems the answer may be right in front of me :cool:

Please, no more replies to this thread. We hear you load and clear and have already started on this project. Its going to take a number of months so please be patient. When we have product to test we will post a message over in the beta section.

this might be odd, but since I don't have any files to try it with yet I can't test.

Does VideoReDo TV suite support h264 MP4 yet? From what I read above I understood this was to be the case.

I do hope that it will support MP4 H264 with AAC audio. I understand a lot of the next gen of digital TV will support this.

H264 (MPEG4) editing interests french customers too, on the Canal Satellite / Canal+ satellite networks we have 5 programs broadcasting in HD with dolby digital 5.1 multiple languages audio streams:
- TF1
- Canal+
- M6
- National Geographic
- Cine Cinema Premier
and others will come soon.

To receive Canal Satellite and/or Canal+ you must sucribe on a monthly or annual basis (€21-35 ~US$29-49 monthly for CanalSatellite and €32 ~US$45 monthly for Canal+), HD service is an option (€9 ~US$12.5 monthly for both networks).

I really think that european customers need this feature now!

do we have an ETA of when the h264 support will be finished? there are loads of programs that are coming out like dgavcdec and similar products that support it. I would gladly pay for VideoRedo if it could add this.

What other products support H.264.
Can you name some of the "loads" of programs you mention?
I checked out dgavcdec and it is severly limited.

I have been looking for an AVC editor for some time now.
Please educate me.
