Remove Part Files as Added?

[arrmo]

Hi,

Just a thought, as it saves needed disk space - but after a part-xx.ts file is added ... remove it? If not about 3x the disk space is needed overall (the original file, the part files, and then the cut file).

Thoughts?

Thanks!

All part files are combined at once.

Alternatively a new file containing just the parts to keep could be done in sort of a "running total" file. As I think of it, that would actually result in needing an additional temporary file and thus additional storage.

I don't know of any good way of reducing storage requirements

I should add that both comcut and comchap will replace the source file if no output file is specified. Not specifying an output file would only require 2x the storage

No worries, just wasn't sure if they were added sequentially or not - sounds like not. Thanks!
