Hi,

Out of curiosity, has there been any progress since 1 year about this topic?

Really, millions of CPU-hours are probably wasted to reencode 
already-perfectly-encoded content, just for cutting purposes. For example, is 
there a way to cut a AVI or MKV H264 video with a specific starting point and 
specific length, with minimal re-encoding?

When using: "ffmpeg -ss 120 -t 60 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4", the result 
is often choppy or non-smooth in the first seconds, because the cut point 
doesn't necessarily coincide with a keyframe, at least on some players. 

We could reencode just the beginning until the next keyframe, and then use copy 
codec for the rest of the video, and then concatenate, but nobody does this, 
it's unnecessarily complex (and I'm not even sure it works).

Can you explain with a little bit more details how it would work? Thanks in 
advance!

All the best.
