AFAIK the cut function was implemented by klaus to cut out the scences
in a recording you don.t want to see. eg. if you want to keep it.
in most cases it.s the advertisments that are cut out. and what i left
i a movie without advertisments.

what you try to do is do devide the movie into 2 pieces of the same size.

vdr can.t do that. and for what you want to do there is no need to cut
it in 2 pieces. almost ALL vdr2svcds tools i know can be told how many
cds the svcds video should have.

hope you understand my weird english after a long 15h day ;)

servus hannes!
