I suspect that it does exist though. I have a hardware DVD recorder that
appears to run xine for its UI. If you make a recording that is too long to
go on a DVD5 disk, there is a utility to split it - and conversely to combine
two shorter recordings.
Of course it may be proprietary software, but I'm certain that box runs
embedded linux.
