    Except if it’s lossless so there’s no harm in reencoding to accurately clip files

      You’re confusing cause and effect. It’s lossless because it cuts at keyframes and does not re-encode.

      If it did what you’re suggesting it wouldn’t be lossless anymore.

        I think they were talking about a special kind of media file, that is not compressed but instead stored losslessly. I think H264 can do that too.

        Lossless codecs can be decoded and reencoded without effect

          LosslessCut doesn’t only use lossless codecs. It losslessly cuts video files encoded in lossy codecs.
