Hi! As I had already suspected, the simple approach Ralph suggested doesn't work correctly in all cases - sometimes I got broken indices. The reason was an incompatibility between multi-file mode and input through a pipe.
Therefore, there is now a separate reading routine for pipes and other special files. Semantics are as outlined earlier: if no input file is specified with -generateidx, dvbcut reads from stdin, and also writes the index to stdout unless you use -idx. In GUI mode, reading from anything else than one or more regular files is still impossible. In case the need should arise, I might weaken that restriction a little and also allow reading from an unformatted disk or partition. But reading from a pipe, FIFO or character device will remain forbidden because they don't allow positioning.
