Hallo,

...

Concurrent cutting threads would decrease the cutting

performance. A

...

queue for cutting would be more helpful like in this patch: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Cutterqueue-patch

The CutterQueue would indeed be nice :)

From the user's standpoint the important points are: I would like to cut many recordings, I do not want to wait for the current cutting to complete before I can start the next one and I would not like the current cutting to slow down my work on the next one or any other interactive use of VDR. I suppose petri's patches support this very well. Has anyone tried them in the latest VDR?

The CutterBandwithLimit.patch from the CutterQueue author helps lowering the used bandwith and is configurable.

@Carsten You could try my AutoCutter scripts - they use a Queue for Cutting. Please also take a look at the last post with a CutterBandwithLimit patch for vdrcutter2 ;)

German site, but README in Englisch.

By the way it also includes a Queue for Sharemarks. A way to share Cuttingmarks - making the cutting work easier for all of us :)
