 Have tried to figure this out via this post http://mythtv.org/pipermail
 /mythtv-users/2010-May/289610.html but cannot get anywhere.

 I am using Mythbunt 9.10, upgraded to Myth 0.23-fixes.

 I have a recording and have defined a cutlist (removed commercials).  I
 have then initiated a transcode, so that when I view the recording in
 MythTV, the commercials are not shown.  The recording has a picture of
 scissors in the recordings listing (so I guess this means there's a
 cutlist and has been transcoded).

 Question: As per the last line here
 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Creating_a_cutlist are the commercials (or
 cuts) supposed to be permanently removed after the transcode?

 If I then use MythArchive to export to a file, there is no menu option
 select/toggle the cutlist for the recording.  I hit M for the menu and all
 I see is Clear All, Select All and Cancel on the Select Recordings screen
 and Remove Item and Cancel on the Select Archive Items screen.

 I'm told on the forums that hitting C (TOGGLECUT) should include the
 cutlist but does not.

 Question: When I use MythArchive to export to a file AND use the cutlist,
 is the exported file supposed to be cut or should I get the original file
 and an XML file?  If the latter then how do I do the cut (outside of
 MythTV presumably)?

 Thanks in advance.
