ET Cut v0.2 - my DVR-MS cutter for Vista Media Center
Source Code (VS2005)
Screenshot:
Motivation:
I used to use a program called dCut in Windows XP Media Center Edition to cut segments from DVR-MS files, and then use DVRMSToolbox to convert DVR-MS files into MPG or WMV format. But dCut doesn't work in Vista Media Center. Besides, dCut cannot combine several segments into one file. ( I usaually dig out hidden DVR-MS files from Recorded TV\TempSBE while I see some interesting advertisement. Unfortunately sometimes the ad is splitted into two files. )
Introduction:
ET Cut is a program runs in Vista Media Center which can combine any amount of segments from any amount of DVR-MS files into a new file.
