For find the cutting-marks i wrote my own browser based solution back in 2000 (with little improvements here and there over the years). With it, it only takes seconds to find the begin & end of the recordings. No ads in my case. :-) As long as dvbcut displays the frame-numbers, you could use something else for the actual cutting. My browser base solution is basically only for finding the frame-number offsets into the index.vdr. Then there is my next script that uses the begin/end offsets and pipes everything between those offsets into vdrsync for further processing. IOW finding the cutting marks and the actual cutting doesn't necessarily have to be done by the same program. For me this work-splitting is perfect as a known perfect(tm) recording is paramount for me. It can take months until i actual watch a recording, so i have to know immediatly if a recording is broken or not, so i can rerecord it (if possible). I've never had a recording thas was damaged, after vdrsync was successfully done with it. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
