I don't know, if ffmpeg or libav is superior regarding performance. For me it doesn't really matter, because for removing commercials from a video, either should be fast enough. I stick with ffmpeg, because I had some problems with libav in the past, which were resolved by using the then current ffmpeg version. For the widget set, if you want to keep dvbcut cross-platform, you're limited to just a few toolkits, Qt, Gtk, wxWidgets. The two big ones, Qt and Gtk, are both valid choices, I think. So, in the end, it is largely a matter of taste and which one you're most comfortable with. >> Past attempts to reach Sven in order to take over dvbcut at Sourceforge, >> haven't been successful, AFAIK.

You can maintain or extend a project, even if the original author isn't around anymore. And even if the author is still active, you can fork a project, as can be seen with ffmpeg/libav. So, since Sven isn't responding, you're free to move on. At least, that's what I have done with my github repository.
