Dumping frames is only used for finding the cutting-marks.

VDR-index file is used for cutting. Via the Index-file the I-Frame is
copied out of the XXX.vdr-files, then the first-frame of that file is
dumped and displayed via xli.

If mark is "good" you can save the mark.

If ready then you call "cutall" and all recording-dirs are scanned for
"cut"-mark-files. Then this mark-files are processed.
"processing" ist plain simple. Just copy from start-offset until
end-offset into a new file.

This is a bit complicated. As nobody has EVER asked me how, i've never
made that system "general" useable. All Scripts are currently hardcoded
for my environment.
