Dang Nabbit... and the Molson Canadian ran dry... (at least until the
next one!!! ;-)

Well, it was a little wonky after the reboot (twice a year if it
needs it or not... gotta love Linux!!!) but it should be fine now; as
I just tested it.

Erm, yea -- there are known bugs in TMPGEnc [search the archives -
even I've made a few posts about it...] WRT the "Cut & Merge"
Functions of TMPGEnc -- but depending on how you do your transcoding,
if you specify only the sections that should become final to be
transcoded, it seems to work very well down to the frame (+/- a frame
or so, but much better than the +/- 2-3 seconds...) and you'll only
be transcoding the show, and not the commercials [assuming the show
you want on SVCD has commercials...] to speed up the process... :-)

Try the link again - if that doesn't work, a copy at the original
location is still up & working, at:
