Video Cutter Max is a simple, slightly uninspiring program that will allow you to cut chunks from your videos.
Video Cutter Max allows you to cut parts from videos, making them shorter or more precise. It supports a number of input formats, and will allow you to save your cut videos as AVI, ASF,WMV,MOV, FLV, MPG, MPEG,MP4, RM or YUV. A nice touch is that Video Cutter Max also allows you to pick your video codecs - or it chooses a default if you don't care.
For more advanced users, Video Cutter Max also allows you to customize output settings, something you'll find under the Custom (Advanced) options. Here you'll be able to tweak things like bitrate, aspect and frame rate, among others. All users will be able to set the computer to shut down after the job is run, which is also a nice touch.
One thing we learned through trial and error is what Video Cutter Max actually cuts when you press Start. Once you add your video, you'll see it in the built-in player. Then you must select the Start and End of your cutting selection. Initially, we though this selection was the part you wanted to cut, but the selection (highlighted in yellow when you have picked the start and end) is actually the part of the video you want to keep. Bear this in mind when cutting your videos!
Video Cutter Max will effectively cut pieces of your videos, but it's by no means the best program on the market.
