Well done! And thanks for the support!

This is essentially the answer to my question:

Thank you!

Agreed. I'm currently looking into the possibility of enabling a kind
of mulitrec for analog capture. So far, I think this is the best long
term, scalable solution.

Stuff about the reasoning behind overlap feature request ;-)

Agreed. Marathons and genre clusters are currently my nightmare...
especially if I want to transfer to DVD.

Thanks very much for the all the background on this issue anyway!
My thinking is that some of the ground work should have been done
already by multirec.

Let's hope a -REAL- solution is possible... and made available.

Jeff.
