OK, thanks for that. I have a first shot at a switchable script and<br>
my first .mkv file. It plays in the frontend but I can't step or<br>
use the editor on it. I think I saw something recently about that,<br>
but it's bedtime now. I suppose MythArchive will choke on it, too.<br>

I should have mentioned above, once the file is in an MKV container it<br>
is no longer in a format that MythTV considers a "recording". In other<br>
words, it is not editable or seekable as a recording. You need to use<br>
"mythexport" or some other script like that to move it to your MythTV<br>
Video library where you can play, fastforward, rewind, etc. as you would<br>
any imported video.<br>

Thanks for that, too.<br>
<br>
I've posted the new version, mythDVBcut_20130704.sh, above the old one here, and added a small covering note. I hope it's useful.<br>

The other part of the package, pycut_20130305.py, for use with eg h264 recordings, is unchanged at the bottom of the page.<div><div><br>
