I haven't gotten nuvexport working yet, but I have noticed that when I play back some recordings after editing commercials, the playback cuts too early for the commercials. Surprisingly, the commercial endpoints seem to be correct. I'm using svn 8042, and using a DVB-T card. I also seem to get strange commercial cutpoints, though I have no idea whether that's the same problem or if the commercial flagger just has a hard time handling Australian commercial breaks. I wish I could help, but I have no idea what the problem is. -- Peter Schachte Microsoft could never have succeeded as a software [EMAIL PROTECTED] company if its intentions to sabotage third party www.cs.mu.oz.au/~schachte/ products were known earlier....
