Hi Martin,

I think your cutting solution is not bad, but I want to do it completely 
via my IR-Control.
Your argument that VDR tries to delete a mistake is not very good, as 
this mistake could easily be deleted manually. So, I would suggest for 
VDR to index the cut files instead of overwriting them. I would also be 
interested about Klaus' opinion to this...
