Hi there, I hv already developed a crude "vcdkutter" program. its availble on freshmeat and also at www.geocities.com/asatsi/vcdkutter.html u can give it a try. But the problem with the cut file is that only xing/or any "MPEG" player can play those files and not the active movie or media player in windows. Though mtvp plays it nicely. HTH.
