Hi Guys! 
I'm really hoping somone can help me. :crybaby:
My Sanyo Xacti fh1 camera produces mp4 videos. Usally i just upload these straight to youtube.
But i would like to add some effects to my vids.
I've read about smart rendering - and how it lets you split/join without having to encode the whole videos again -- but i cannot find any software that works with the mp4 files my camera makes
I tried Avidemux 2.5 -- and this is the only software that let me cut/join the mp4 files -- but what it produced did not work on youtube, they just played on my pc.
All other software i've tried - nero vision etc, did not seem to use smart rendering, and it was looking hours to convert -- and the end quality was TERRIBLE!!! my nice HD footage became pixlated and rubbish - on any settings i tried.
If anyone could please tell me any software they have that can smart render mp4 files - that would be amazing!!!
My mp4 file info is this;
I can upload a little video if it would help (if anyone would'nt mid looking lol)
It just seems crazy taking 30mins to encode a 3min video, and having the same video ( but worse quality!) in the end.
Thanks so much for reading my post!!!
