should I cut after demux or remux.... woes....???

I found the best way to convert DVB-mpeg2-recordings into divx. I was following the guide from doom9.org ( http://www.doom9.org/DigiTV/dvb2divx.htm ) however why use GK as it says? GK is a longer way of getting the job done (divx video file). However I still need to demux my DVB-mpeg2-recording since it no doubt contains transmission GOP/PTS errors.

The guide does not mention about muxing up the video and audio files together again. I suggest mux the video and audio back together again and put it through AutoGK or Dr. DivX. Sorted! No messing about with GK settings, etc.

Problem is, the guide mentions to cut (out adverts) after demux. Does it make any difference if I cut after demux, or after remux?

If you separate the audio from the video by demuxing it and edit one or the other separately, you will lose the audio/video sync.

Hmm, am using MPEG2Cut (that German program). It loads associated mp2 (audio files) with same name as m2v (the video-only file). As long as you cut starting on P/K-frames and end cuts of P or I frames then the audio sync should be okay (as stated on the doom9.org ( http://www.doom9.org/DigiTV/dvb2divx.htm ) guide.
