<div>I use a HDHNomerun Prime unit to capture. I
have installed and run the lossless_cut application. It will run
and produce a video, but the parts being removed are not the
sections as they appear/are specified to be in the cut list. The cut
list agrees with the times and frame numbers shown in the edit
timeline where I specified the cuts (with some minimal changes due
to keyframe adjustments). I also ran using the concert mode to
look at the individual pieces, and how they were cut. The first
one ends about a minute before it gets to the commercial, but the
vlc player reports the correct amount of time (per the cut
timeline in the log file <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://pastebin.com/xDzdQm1Z">http://pastebin.com/xDzdQm1Z</a>) as its
length. The second one started about 2 minutes before the end of
the first commercial, and the third about 3 minutes. The last
frames in the last segment are the correct end of the movie. One
of the sections has the commercial in the center of the mkv
segment, with parts of the desired content at the beginning and
end.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent;">One of the questions I have is if
mkvmerge is correctly handling the variable bit rate. Is there
some other option I have not setup correctly? </div>
