Ah, Ok. When I make my next DVD, I'll try the manual edit thing, unless you
beat me to the punch with a userfriendly solution :)
It looks pretty cool Paul. I look forward to trying to play it.
Unfortunately it took so long to generate that I didn't have time to get it
with me and it takes about 16 hours to transfer over a 512 kbit/s
line... :-/
/Martin.
