That's what I though at the begining of course. But the program is a live
(direct) program... It usualy starts at the same time 8:00am, but it never
stops at the same time. And this is not predictible to know when it will
stop. That's why I was thinking about "seeing" the last frame, and stop the
recording process. As I know the last frame will always be the same, it's
always the same ending generic...

So my real problem here is, I need a clean video trimed out, but I don't
know the exact (to the second close) the starting and ending. What can we
do ?
