Hi,
I've checked our emails and regrettably have not found your email among them.
You can use Batch Manager of Video Splitter Business Edition to process all videos in one pass. After marking fragments for saving you need to add task to batch queue. Then process the Batch Manager editing task.
Here are several guidelines that could be helpful for you:

Batch Manager uses .xtl files.
If you open .ssp file in Home Edition version only one file will be processed.
2) Can I do this (step d in batch mode) without needing to buy the Business edition for the batch mode utility? Is there a cheaper/scale-down version or a separate batch utility for home users like me where I normally record quite a number of shows from free-to-air shows and just using this software to remove adverts?
Unfortunately there is no cheaper/scale-down version and no separate batch utility in Home Edition version.
The upgrade from Home Edition to Business Edition costs $149.05 or 109.05 euro.
If you decide to upgrade to Business Edition version please write us at support(at)solveigmm(dot)com with your personal information.
Thank you.
