If you search the list for Editing/transcoding HD-PVR you'll find a way
to cut junk at start and end.
Search for cutlist to ogg chapter file and you'll find a way to create a
mkv muxed with chapters, which you can use as it where chapter selection
from a DVD. Works perfect. You probably need mplayer for playing, I
don't know if internal works.
