Hi,
I'm trying to join and edit some .m2ts videos from a Panasonic video camera. It outputs .m2ts files which have video avc codec, as per:

However, when I come to export, despite no transcode-needing edits done (ie just plonking one file into the timeline and exporting) and the lossless export enabled, the file is re-encoded. Are .m2ts files not supported for lossless cutting/joining in Videopad? I'm using 5.01, and have uploaded a few sample files plus my log to: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7wr9b4lyjvuuhcm/AAChEccuKCutX_iyAZh60O4Ua?dl=0 if anyone can help me out with what's stopping the export be lossless.
Any info would be so gratefully received 🙂
