PTravel wasn't arguing, just stating a simple fact that you seem to want to
ignore. If all the OP wants is to do some simple trimming and then export
back to tape, there will not be any loss of quality. And if you're the pro
you claim to be, then you'd be the first to admit this simple fact. Or so
you just want to take his/her money for something they can do by themselves?
