Developers - humble feature request.

First of all, congratulations for a great program together. I use it often to create avs scripts for films but there is one feature I would be grateful if you could add.

I never have used Gordian Knot for backing up DVDs. I choose to use it instead to xvid TV programs recorded off my PCI digital tv card. It would be ideal for this if it wasn't for the fact that it cannot edit out adverts. A slight re-working of the trim functions would make GK brilliant for tv editing. Something like -

a=trim(5323,28824)
b=trim(35272,54048)
c=trim(60472,79798)
d=trim(90122,138998)
e=trim(145446,183643)
unalignedsplice(a,b,c,d,e)

I know that I can put this in myself but it defeats the purpose what with Gordian Knot automating the rest of the process so well. I don't want to cut adverts after a compressibility check as they may make the check inaccurate. It would also waste cd space if I edit them out after encoding a 2nd pass (not to mention ~20min encoding each pass.)

what about triming sound?

P.S. as far as this feature goes - it won't be in 0.29

If the mpasource dll is used in the avs script a cut wav file could be made with vdub then encoded. Otherwise the uncut audio could be encoded and loaded into vdub with the avs file. GKnot could use the virtualdub sylia script language to make the edits.

Either way maintaining sound synch is easy.

I'm not sure that I understand the second approach. Can you describe it in details please? (before I start raising issues there :) )
