If you set a cutting mark while watching a recording, you'll set it 10 seconds in the future compared to the image on screen. When you jump to a cutting mark, you'll see the image at the actual position, because VDR first clears all buffers and then just sends a single I-frame so there isn't much which xine could buffer in that case. If you show the recording's progress menu and switch to play (after a jump to a cutting mark), you'll see that the progress bar advances very quickly by 10 seconds, as VDR sends the recording data as fast as possible (i. e. as fast as your harddisk can supply the data) to xine.
