I wonder where filesize becomes a problem.  I've dealt with trimming and
rewrapping ~10Gbyte files with ProjectX on a 2.4GHz Core2Duo 2Gbyte RAM single
disk machine, and other than disk speed limiting how fast it could do the
conversion*, the interaction was entirely zippy.  That was under windows, but
given ProjectX is Java, I can't believe it'd matter much.

jh

* Since I'm doing TS -> PS with trimming and joining, there's no actually
   reencoding of the data, so it's not CPU limited as you'd expect.  This is
   just a Freeview to DVD preprocess step.
