View source for 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 ==

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