I see no need to add that feature to dvbcut. There are other tools that can do it (probably even much better), and you can use them as a postprocessor (e.g. some people export the video directly to dvdauthor). > This feature is critical for being > able to play DVDs produced from the edited recordings on some standalone > players.

That is, it's also useful in your third case. You can run the resulting file through e.g. transcode to get something more DVD compatible. > 2) I would find it very helpful, if DVBCUT showed the aspect ratio and > the resolution of the currently displayed frame.

It's got a cutting aid (Edit / Suggest bookmarks) that will automatically bookmark the first frame after each aspect ratio change. Besides that, it's possible to convert a sequence of bookmarks into a start...stop or stop...start sequence for automated cutting. You can even tell dvbcut to export only the 16:9 or 4:3 parts of a recording. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ DVBCUT-devel mailing list DVBCUT-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvbcut-devel
