I don't think its necessary, cause in my example all cutted videos went 
to /video/cut. So I know that these are cutted :-)

I do it manually til now, but I think its time for me to make the 
cutting process easier.
When the free space on my video directory is too low, I start cutting 
the videos and afterwards I copy these to another partition on a 
different harddisk or to my server. I'd like to do the following:
- Creating the marks for all videos which I want to archive with VDR
- Starting a batch program which cuts all videos which have a new mark 
file and write the output to an archive directory.

Til now I am cutting one video and have to wait til the cutting process 
is done to mark the next recording.
