[mythtv-users] Cutlist feature req: add new cutpoint instead of move

[Carsten Deeg]

Hello,

there has previously been a post with this subject:
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2003-November/015978.html

But there is still the same problem for me. I want to delete a quite short 
part of a movie. But I am not able to set the second cutpoint because it is 
only possible to manipulate the first one. I think it should not be too 
difficult to activate the normal options like "Delete before this frame" 
additionally to the special options when you are close to an existing 
cutpoint.

I am using mythtv 0.16 on debian testing.

Apart from this, sometimes I have some problems in editing recordings. I like 
the concept of moving the cursor through the recording. But in some 
recordings (not all, but I don't know what's the difference), the amounts of 
movement (e.g. 1 second or 1 frame) is not working properly. If I want to 
move 1 second ahead this sometimes means just some frames ahead or even back! 
If I want to move the cursor back a second in this case, it jumps more than a 
second back. The offsets of this behaviour are changing. And if the problem 
arises, it becomes worse to the end of the recording.

This behaviour makes it very difficult to set appropriate cutpoints. And in 
some cases the reencoding cuts at wrong frames, so that I can see one or two 
frames of the commercials after reencoding. I suppose these two problems 
(moving cutpoints and wrong frames during reencoding) are related to the same 
issue?

Can anyone reproduce these issues? Any hints?

Thank you all, and keep up the great work on mythtv!
