 	When I talked with him, he said that what he was doing was 
brutally simple.  Basically, he parses just enough of the MPEG stream to 
figure out where he is, and then concatenates the MPEG packets together. 
In order to deal with potentially broken references, he sets the "broken" 
flag in the cut GOPs, so it's up to the decoder to decide how to deal with 
it.  Good compromise for a quickie cutter.

 	I'm a little concerned about the PTS/DTS "holes" left over after a 
cut.  I'm pretty sure he doesn't deal with them at all.  Maybe a replex 
can take care of them?
