Well, we'll see. We could also pipe the data to mplayer, at least on Unix systems. >>>Is it a good idea to add *.vob to our recognized file list? >> >>Not sure.

Dvbcut uses relative timestamps (that is, relative to the last start marker), so the absolute value doesn't matter.

I'm afraid you can't take arbitrary MPEG files and glue them together with the multi-file function. It assumes that the files are part of the same recording, in the correct order. If you want to process multiple recordings, you will need a separate index for each of them. > Or you could have a gap inbetween, in the case of TSs when I stopped the > recording because of a commercial or whatever.
