Unfortunately, it's Not So Easy (tm).

Even support for multi-file sources will be harder than it may seem. It 
requires massive changes to the current infrastructure. But Sven's 
"better OOP" goal probably means that larger parts of dvbcut have to be 
rewritten anyway.

By the way: Is there nobody who wants another GUI? I don't really like 
the Qt dependency because I don't normally use Qt/KDE. I literally only 
have the sucker installed for dvbcut. There should be at least an 
optional gtk+ interface (and the cutting logic should be separated from 
the GUI anyway).

DVB-C/-S?

Can you reproduce that with another recording? If the answer is "yes", 
please keep a copy of the input file for analysis.

Well, if I'm going to include such features, then there will be a kind 
of postprocessing chain that allows the integration of custom filters 
(i.e. separate programs or scripts). It doesn't make sense to put 
anything into emacs^H^H^H^H^Hdvbcut. Remember the Unix philosophy: Do 
only one thing but do it well.

Yep.

Already planned.

Yep, see "postprocessing chain" above.

Nah. Just display the bitrate. Users should know what the do ;-)

Other container formats would at least be feasible. Not so much other 
audio/video formats.

Umh, you're right. But I never got a bug report for this.

Planned as well.
