Note really, because my problem is that i am recording series (e.g. Star
Trek) and cutting them to fit on 1 CD. Sometimes i have to strip off the
tail (?) (German Abspann und Vorspann) and sometimes not. But i can only see
this after cutting, I wanto to know it before cutting !!

I thought that maybe the indexfiles point to the byte offset, so that a
calculation according to the cut marks is possible ?

Martin.
