I'd wrongly assumed that it picked up the environment of the VDR already running, so hadn't supplied the switch in this case. Thanks for the clarification.

Hi Klaus,

I was trying the cutter for the first time and noticed that it didn't seem to be obeying the --video flag It seemed to be trying default, causing this error:

Jun 16 09:12:56 ha-server vdr: [29658] ERROR (tools.c,459): /var/spool/video//mnt: Permission denied

I rebuilt with the makefile adjusted to match my config and the cutter then worked. Is that a bug?

Are you sure you entered the --video option *before* the --edit option in your command line?
