[MPlayer-users] VDR timing problem

mplayer display the timer from the input stream.
for broadcast streams, the timer is started when they started the encoder,
or maybe is syncronized to real clock.

if you cut out a small part of an mpeg, the timer will be the same as before
the cutting - as the time stamps are stored inside the stream.

the same problem exists for .asf and probably all other streaming formats
with embedded timestamps
