DESCRIPTION

Script that uses the perl Linux::DVB::DVBT::TS package to provide transport stream video file functions.

Runs the transport stream cut utility on a file, creating a new file (or files) with the specified regions removed. Alternatively, using the -split option, splits the file at each start and end boundary.

The cut file format is in the form of lines containing:

ad=[start packet]:[end packet]

Each line specifies an advert region in transport stream packet numbers.

for example, the following defines 4 advert regions (the first region starting at the start of the video):

ad=0:344787
ad=970972:1417421
ad=2085377:2477139
ad=3472767:3856038

In -split mode, the specified outfile name will be used but suffixed with a count starting at 1.
