[QUOTE="Elf, post: 42179, member: 13103"] We set scheduled recordings to automatically start a few minutes early and end a few minutes late - this is, of course, a common practice in case the show starts a bit early or ends a bit late. The thing is, you then get a recording that reminds me of old VHS days, which starts with the last few minutes of the previous show, commercials, then finally your show starts. When the show is over, the recording continues to run with end credits, more commercials and then the beginning of the following show. For a one-off viewing, that's really not a problem, but if you want to keep the recording you might want to think about tidying it up - in other words, removing the spare minutes' worth at the beginning and end (and of course remove the commercials within, but that's been covered plenty ;) I'm thinking of a button that, during playback, would delete everything in the recording *up to the current point* and another button that would delete everything *after the current point*. Thus, you watch the recording, hit the "delete before" button as soon as the show proper starts, and hit the "delete after" button as soon as it ends. This would be very intuitive and far less hassle than loading the recording into video editing software to start cutting and splicing. [/QUOTE]
