I recently stopped using smart cutter in any case, since it was causing stuttering with mp4 files for some reason. Converting would defeat the purpose though, did you mean remuxing? In any case, even if I mux it into the proper container that doesn't mean the audio/video streams will be compatible. Yeah I took a class on using that program and I have never found a program too complicated to use in any case. Google it and there are a meal of ways to show you how-to. Just convert video format before loading the video into smart cutter. In case you can bear the weakness of smart cutter (limited formats compatibility), smart cutter might still be the 1st at your priority list.

If you're a newbie, it seems complicated for you to handle. and supports the following audio and video formats: H265/HEVC, H264/AVC, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DIVX, XVID, MJPEG, WMV1, WMV2, WMV3, MPEG Audio, PCM, AC3, AAC SolveigMM Video Splitter supports the following file formats: AVCHD, MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, FLV, AVI, DV AVI, ASF, WMV, MPEG2(TS,PS,VES), MPEG1(SYS, VES), MP1, MP2, MP3, WAV. I have VideoReDo TV Suite V5 and found that it works especially well for editing TS files, WTV files, and DVR-MS files containing recorded TV shows made by a Windows PC using a PC TV tuner as the source. VideoReDo TV Suite V6 Beta adds support for H.265/HEVC. Support for the AVI container, DV, and MPEG 4 Part 2 (DivX or XviD) is limited to import.

VideoReDo TV Suite V5 supports importing and exporting TS, M2TS, MPG, REC, WTV, DVR-MS, TIVO, MKV, and MP4 files, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC video, and AAC, AC3, MPEG-1 Layer 2 and PCM audio. Plus, when they re-encode on the GOP level to smart render, they must be able to figure out how to duplicate the characteristics of the untouched audio and video in the rest of the file. For one thing, they are all commercial products and must pay licensing fees for most of the audio and video codecs they use. None of the smart rendering editors recommended in this thread supports every possible container file type and audio/video codec.
