Video editing software that will load an h264 (HD) MP4 file should work. I use VideoRedo TV Suite v5 to edit videos and I just tried it on an MP4 created by the PDR. For a test I cut out the first and last 1/3 of the file for a test and wasn't surprised that it played fine, but was a bit surprised that it retained the GPS Tracking info on the top left. The appropriate .map.gpx file must be in the same folder as always. Since I clipped the first 1/3 the new video started on the correct position of the car on the map, and I wasn't sure how that would work. I didn't try more complex editing like adding music or text, so I can't say how that might play out, but it should work as it would with any MP4 file. What do you want to do with the video?

Really, All i am looking for is a program to trim/ splice footage and also add text when needed. Nothing fancy.

There are plenty within that link provided. The Cosworth Toolbox comes from GM and free. Heck, I use an app called Datakam Player for quick cuts and upload. It was free with my dual channel dashcam on my Subbie. For deep editing (fx, crop, inserts, etc...), I use Vegas Studio Platinum. The only editor I've had trouble with is the GoPro app. Looks like GoPro is looking for proprietary metadata before allowing editing.

My question: what would it take to replace the cameras for better resolution? Did they improve on the 18s/19s?

I grabbed a copy of the old Windows movie maker last year while it was still available from MS and it works fine as a simple editor for videos and is what I have used for quick edits of the PDR. It is supposedly still available from several sites but be careful that the offerings aren't click bait for a virus.

I just upgraded from my older Canon 1 series DSLR to a 1DX Mark 2 that also shoots HD and 4K video so I guess I should find something a little more sophisticated as a video editor

Found a download link on Youtube for Windows Movie Maker. Works fine on Win 10.
You will need an program to unzip a .7z file.

Download link for Windows Movie Maker.
