MacheteSoft Machete 4.5 Build 11

Machete is a convenient utility for playing and editing multimedia files. Currently, Machete can edit video and audio files in AVI, ASF, WMV, WMA, MP3 and FLV (Flash Video) formats. The support of editing functions for other formats is planned for future versions of the program. With Machete, you can play some other multimedia files as well (in addition to those listed above). None of the editing operations in Machete requires re-encoding of video or audio streams. This is why the editing process is very quick and does not lead to any loss of video quality.
This puts Machete in the category of lossless video editors. Also, it means that you do not need a powerful and expensive computer to edit your video material. After a file is edited and saved, it retains its original format. With its extremely user-friendly design, Machete is an ideal solution for quick and easy "slicing" of your multimedia files. You can delete unnecessary fragments (e.g. cut out commercials), copy, move, mix and save individual pieces. This means that Machete combines the functionality of both video splitter (cutter, trimmer), video joiner (for joining multimedia files with exactly the same formats) and more.
