My point was that perhaps the recorder is by default increasing the
quality when you write an edited video; I guess from your reply that
you either don't think so or just plain don't know. To emphasize what I
meant: my suggestion amounts to restoring the quality to what it had
been before this putative undesired change.
As I said, I don't know whether the guess was good or bad.
