A question... is it possible to concatenate two overlapping recordings to one?
If it where possible to just copy/rename the *.vdr-files from the second recording to the 
directory of the first and append the second index.vdr to the first (don't know if this is 
possible.. if there is information in the index that includes the number of the 00x.vdr, this 
would have to be corrected), one could easily cut the overlapping parts. Since all cutting 
is based on I-Frames and those I-Frames should be equal in both recordings, it shouldn't 
be too hard to find two identical frames in the stream and mark them as start/stop for the 
cutting.
