Well, i tested it with my broken stream and healthy streams as well,
result: 

-the broken stream breaks at the same place as cutting stops
-the older marks.vdr does'nt fit to the new index-file giving a hint that the 
result is _not_ the same.
-that does _not_ apply to "clean" streams.

So i restate:

-there should be a repairing mechanism for damaged streams with 
index-recreation.
(the above movie does'nt have remarkable visible failures, is still perfectly 
watchable beside it's not editable)
