MP4 Cloner 1.70

Offered as a free tool for customers who buy any of the existing ClonerAlliance’s video-capturing hardware tools, MP4 Cloner is actually a free tool for everyone wishing to make the most of their MP4 video files. With this attractive and easy-to-use utility you can trim, merge, convert, and burn to DVD or BD your best home movies and any other MP4 file as long as it’s been encoded using the H.264 codec.

In terms of licensing, MP4 Cloner is a bit confusing. You can download it for free and make use of its full functionality without registering it, but if you are a client, you can use the registration code of your HDML-Cloner Helper, HDML-Cloner Wand Helper, or your HDML-Cloner Pro Helper to register your copy of MP4 Cloner. The actual benefits of registering (either in terms of functionality or of keeping the program updated) are a mystery to me. Just to complicate things further, you will see a “Buy me” button – just by the “Download” button –that will actually let you purchase a copy of the program for 59.99 USD. Either way, the option to download and use MP4 Cloner for free to trim, combine, convert, and burn H.264-encoded MP4 video files is still there.

The program opens as a menu with the main four options mentioned above. Trimming your MP4 videos is an extremely simple task. You can let the program play back the selected video and click on the Start Time and End Time buttons whenever you reach the desired points. Another option is to key in the start and end points yourself using the HH:MM:SS format. More
