About Mpv Lossless Cut
Mpv Lossless Cut is a script for the mpv video player that cuts video segments during playback using ffmpeg. Start and end points can be set, adjusted, and combined into multiple cuts from one video. It requires mpv and ffmpeg, with settings for output directory, ffmpeg path, and separate or merged output. Lossless cuts can only occur at keyframes and may not be exact; turning lossless off re-encodes clips for exact times.
