Well, the mapping of VDR Marks to PTS was not that difficult, but some other 
things caused a bit of headache. It turned out not to be that easy to 
identify the channel, for example ;-)

Well, thats certainly an option, for now we will stick to the central 
web-server, since this is very easy to automate. And we are sure that we have 
central repository containing all marks. 

The main challenge for the moment is to get enough participants, so that the 
whole thing can really take off. I hope we can convince people to upload 
their marks automatically after cutting, then the database on the web server 
will be filled quickly.


Cheers
