Media Center Cutter: edit videos from within Windows Media Center

Ever wish you could trim the commercials on your Windows Media Center recordings, or create a short clip of a video to post on YouTube (assuming you're not watching a Viacom program), without having to pull out the ole keyboard and mouse?

Media Center Cutter is an upcoming Vista Media Center plugin from MCEDev that will allow basic video editing from within the Media Center interface. The program will let you edit and/or cut DVR-MS files. You can automatically convert files to other formats for exporting to a Zune, iPod, or other portable device. And the final recording will retain metadata including show and episode titles.

No word on a release date yet, but a pre-release version was shown off recently at CeBIT.
