Unfortunately, that's not a helpful test. Whether dvbcut can read its own project files - even if they were created on another OS - is not an indicator for correctness, and never will be. Actually, dvbcut must meet exactly two criteria: First, it must write correctly encoded project files in all cases. Second, it must be able to open the project from a correctly encoded project file. -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
