Not sure what, if any, difference there is between this Adoreshare offering and the last Adoreshare offering a mere month ago. Software title confusion was evident then; it still is now.

There's also a potential for further confusion in the way the product is described, because this kind of software is more about saving than cutting: the 'cut' buttons exist to save the content between 'em, not to delete. Anyone thinking they can blithely edit out unwanted material from a video and the separated parts will somehow magically merge should think again.

As a quick, simple, and fast AV tool, I found the July offering to do exactly what it promised. I used it to top and tail a couple of test videos -- that is: to delete stuff at the start, and at the end -- and the output was fine. I wasn't looking for surgical precision though, nor would expect it of editing software at this price point.

There are numerous free and paid-for video cutters out there but not all have resizeable windows (the otherwise likeable Free Video Cutter from the now defunct Tomatosoft was bedevilled by a fixed screen) and few if any promise the 'losslessness' that Adoreshare does.

This same developer also retails a video joiner at the same price, so if someone is looking for a split/merge combination -- and really, the one without the other makes for a tedious existence -- the usual retail package is almost $40. Today's giveaway effectively halves that potential outlay.

Those looking to compare and contrast might like to consider a package of cutter/joiner from developer DVDvideomedia, two products that exist separately but are intended to work together, and both of which are free:

Thanks, then, GOTD, and Adoreshare. Hopefully there'll be some cutting of the confusing product title soon.

Everything went OK from downloading to installing to registering.

BUT, the output of this software realy stinks.

I ran it on an original a full HD video (1900 X 1080) file, the output looks very low res.
Eventhough the output file property says it is 1900 X 1080.

Very dissappointing.

Easy program to use, but the output quality is terrible. Every video outputs at 600 kb/s bitrate.
