Hi Wolfgang.

I wonder how is it going with dvbcut? Are you still working on it?

In debian, we are currently trying to move to libav10, and dvbcut
fails to compile against it:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739220

Before spending too much time on dvbcut, I wonder if it made sense to
keep dvbcut in Debian? We currently carry quite a number of patches:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/dvbcut/0.5.4+svn178-4 that
really should go upstream.

Thanks for any input,
Reinhard
