Yes, what is the use of the punch point in edit marker menu?

Auenf is testing our knowledge. :)

Actually it is used to add a cell to a chapter and create a structure like this.

PGC_1 (program chain): [Title(TTN): 1] [01:39:02.22 / 25 fps] (Programs: 16) (Cells: 16) (uses VOB-IDs: 1)
[Ch 01] [Pg 01] [Cell 01] [V/C Id: 1/ 1] : time: 00:03:33.05 / 25 fps [Pos: 00:03:33.05] [Frames: 5330]
..................... [Cell 02] [V/C Id: 1/ 2] : time: 00:11:31.15 / 25 fps [Pos: 00:15:04.20] [Frames: 22620]

Ok....And what's the use of it? I mean is there any example to show us what's the function of punch point?

[auenf]

when using DVDMaestro to recreate a VTS for use with IFOUpdate in 'Adjusted CELL Mode', you can use it to create a cell break if there was 2 cells in a particular chapter on the original disc.

also, i think it can be used when using playlists (MultiPGC) in maestro, but im not sure.

So far I couldn't find a use of a punch point in maestro.
Not in playlist, nore anywhere.
You only can add chapters to a playlist, you only can assign commands to chapter points but not to a punch point.
It looks like it is totaly useless inside maestro.

It's used for segment re-encoding.
