Non linear MKV Editor

= Goal =


 * A GUI front-end to MKVMerge with a non linear editor-style, like dvbcut for MPEG TS.
 * All tracks must be kept and copy by default, video, audio and subtitles.
 * Preserve metadata.
 * Thumbnails of image before black image.

Extensions

 * 1) Remove ads: Shotdetect can detect scenes and produces a description in XML. This can be used to generate cutting points.
 * 2) May reencode some tracks (ffmpeg -c copy -c:v ...)
 * 3) Convert dvb subtitles to srt (OCR feature)
