Well, does my suggested method work? You can input the frame-numbers to navigate to in avidemux. >You're doing it again! Wasn't this raised before?

If that's the case, yes, Meino, do use MythTV or VDR. Or the c't-VDR derivative. Oh, and BTW: if you're german, the -de list could use some traffic, and I also know some guys on other multimedia-de lists who know vdr and or mythtv quite well. >>> There's also a program that tries to detect advertising, IIRC also >>> using aspect changes as indicators.

I think I am >> completly lost here?. Neither am I[1]. And many others on this list (guessing from the names). I thought those acronyms to be common enough on MLs and Usenet. BTW: using google with 'define:<ACRONYM>' and http://en.wikipedia/wiki/<ACRONYM> has a success-rate of almost 100%. And if not, there are specialised directories, e.g. http://www.acronymfinder.com/ or abkuerzungen.de if you're german. >ATM = at the moment >IIRC = if I recall correctly Jep. >"its name escapes me" = I can't remember its name Almost: "I know I knew its name[, but at the moment,] the memory of that name has escaped (or fled) my mind" ;) Or: "I can't _quite_ remember it (now), but I should, I know it's there, but it has escaped into some corner of my mind and is making faces at me" (or something similar). A slight distinction [cf. non-random sig] ;) Thanks though. And too bad nobody else has yet piped up with the name of the program. ISTR[2] that it also is (or was) used by one of/or both mythtv/vdr. Well, maybe I'll remember tomorrow. A good night's (or day's or whatever) sleep often works wonders when wrestling with linux problems (unlike Win-Probs[3], BTDTNT). And with "can't remember" stuff ;) Still got a total blank ATM though ... *yawn* ;) -dnh [1] but I might as well almost be. I forget to adapt at times. Sorry. [2] "I seem to remember ..."
