Hello,
cutting a TS recording, where two cut points are joined, always leads to some artifacts at this join when playing the cutted result.
This is not a new issue and is true for all types of recordings.
Not far ago I did some test on encoding quite old vdr-recordings (saved uncut) with x264 and cutting with recent vdr. The result was a muted movie after the first joinpoint. May be x264 is too restrictive, don't know - but showed, that the cutted result is not conforming to standards (at least the standards, x264 expects).
For me, the only acceptable result is using projectx for cutting SD-recordings (no matter what format). Luckily I don't have HD-recordings with intersecting comercials yet, so cutting HD-recordings without joinpoints using vdr is acceptable.
kind regards
Gero
