    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.

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