In addition to other tips posted so far, my current "recipe" is as:


First record .ts file with dvbstream (vdr could do, too)

(Then optionally do crude cutting with simpletscut.pl (*) )

Then demux using Project X (project-x.sourceforge.net)

Then use lve (http://lvempeg.sourceforge.net/) to find "cutpoints"
in the .mpv/.m2v file.

Then run m2vmp2cut (*) to do (frame accurate!) cut on the source.

Finally a dvdauthor run to make dvd video images

(... and, or course; growisofs -dvd-compat -Z $dev -dvd-video -udf "$@")


(*) simpletscut and m2vmp2cut are available in my homepage at
