    Too many features, too slow. I just want to trim the leading and sometimes the trailing end of a video clip. Avidemux does this in 30 seconds.

    I've found lossless cut to be less reliable than Avidemux. I tried to extract a 3 seconds part of a video. Lossless cut made it to long or exported without the video. Avidemux worked without any hassle. Sums it up for me.

    Lossless Cut works as well as Avidemux, plus it's very easy to use just like Avidemux.

    It's pretty much the same software in functionality, just in a more modern GUI and a little less minimalistic. It has prompts to ask you what to do with things like chapters and cuts, file naming patterns, auto detection of formats, etc. I needed it because I have a video file with 9 audio tracks and avidemux only handles up to 8. Aside from getting used to a new gui and trying all the options like project file autodelete, it's a drop-in replacement.

    AVI format and multiaudio support is better than in avidemux, I use it to fix audio delay issues with avidemux AVI output and set AVI muxing parameters.
