This sounds like a good idea. I recently scheduled a recording of Stargate: Atlantis - Rising, followed directly by The Puppet Masters and have since been pondering how to cut the first 10minutes of the second recording and splice it onto the end of the first.
I like the first idea suggested, since I also have other recordings that were fragmented due to nessecary reboots (timed inline with ad breaks of course ;-P) while I was resolving DRI and XvMC issues with my VIA Nehemiah based board. I was thinking along the lines of perhaps linking individual recordings and getting mythtranscode to splice them together into a single recording, a-la comercial flagging and removal style. This probably could be extended into allowing the start of one file to be appended to the end of another. Sinc Isaac apparently likes options, you could perhaps select whether to delete the original recordings that were being spliced after transcoding, or create and enter a new recording into the database, allowing you to use the beginning and end of files for different splices. In the case of splicing 3 or more files, you could perhaps opt to have the middle files that were completely included to be deleted after the merge... Hmm. In fact, I think I might take a look into this myself this weekend... _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
