I installed and even went to the company website for more info and i STILL couldnt get it to work. Spend the money and get DVR-MS Converter instead!
Summary
Realitively easy but output file's colors were way off.

Pros
Easy to use once you figure out it is ni Media Center in More programs. Realitively fast
Cons
Colors were almost inverse. If you start an edit, and then choose to abort the file creation, it keeps trying to execute every time the service is re-started.

Awesome

Pros
Simple, works perfectly, works with the remote - no keyboard required. I like pulling and saving clips from shows. dCut works perfectly for this, and even works with High-Def shows!! Thanks Dan.

Pros
Quick download...you simply start the dCut service, then open Windows Media Center...you can find dCut in "Other Programs"...start it and you can edit, compress, or edit AND compress files...Seems like the file size drops about to about a third of original size.
Cons
It took me a few minutes to figure out that you run this through the media center...but other than that, its a simple program that works as advertised. Definitely worth having to reduce file sizes and edit out commercials if you record tv.
Summary
Very Slow - If it Loads at All!

This product sounds neat, however as an experienced user on downloads, this version of 0.95.1 beta, is exactly the same as 0.95 <p> <p>It takes several moments to load, and I couldn't get it past the initial screen. Though unlikely, it could take hours before functioning. <p> <p>I'd like to see a Drag & Drop beta application someday... possibly in version 1.0

Developer’s Description

By The Royal

Cut out needed segments from DVR-MS files and compress them into a smaller format.

dCut is a program written for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE). dCut was written to make it easier to compress and cut the DVR-MS files which are created by MCE. dCut combines the tasks of cutting out only the segments you want from DVR-MS files, and compressing DVR-MS files into a smaller format (Windows Media 9). Also dCut allows you to do all of this from your couch, utilizing the a 10' UI which integrated directly into MCE. dCut works via a hosted HTML App, and uses the MCE remote control.
