Hello, forum.
I have a considerable experience with video editing software and i've explored the joys of VirtualDub in depth. 
I'd like to know if anyone has a suggestion for the following situation:
I record a tv show and save it as mpeg1 file on my HD. I want to find a way to split that mpeg file at the scene change points and create one .avi per scene. I don't mean the keyframe points but the actual show scene cuts. I know that this is possible manually, but i want to do it in an automated manner. I mean if there is some way to call VirtualDub from the command line with some parameter(s) and after it finishes it produces the avi's on HD. Actually i don't mind if some of the scenes aren't recognized. I guess this is a matter of the scene detection sensitivity parameters.
The whole idea is that i want to automate the scene splitting like this:
1. Grab tv show.
2. Run a batch file to extract all the scenes to avi's.
3. Recompress avi's to mpegs (OK, I can do this).
I'm asking about step 2 and if it can be done with VirtualDub.
EDIT -- Just to clarify things: The grabbing and the avi->mpeg is done with a different program not VDub. I just want to use VDub for the scene splitting.
TIA,
Thanos
