This tool can combine several PSQ files generated by HandySaw DS into one PSQ.

HandySaw DS 3.1 is released!
The algorithm of ignoring of flashlights is added.
Search of scenes on recording-time was added:
In DV (and based on DV - DVCAM, DVCPRO...) videofiles HandySaw DS tries to find data of the shooting time of each frame of video and, in case of good luck, uses this information for detection of scenes. Processing speed considerably increases. Accuracy of recognition in this case - 100%.
