Saving and output

Supported file types

Understand the distinction between file extension, container, codec and validated operation.

Common containers

SmartCut64 workflows cover Matroska MKV, MP4/M4V, MOV, MPEG program streams including MPG/MPEG/VOB, MPEG transport streams including TS/M2TS/MTS, and tested WTV, DVR-MS, Topfield-style REC and MXF remux delivery.

Elementary streams

Supported elementary outputs include applicable MPEG-2 video, H.264, HEVC, AV1/IVF and audio forms such as AAC, AC-3/E-AC-3, MPEG audio, Opus, FLAC, WAV/PCM, DTS and TrueHD. Exact availability depends on the selected codec, operation and profile.

Extension is not capability

A container can hold several codecs and metadata systems. Consult the detailed Format Support page and the Save dialog's compatibility explanation for the exact stream combination. Unsupported CRID-specific files and DVD authoring structures are not claimed.
