Yes, to a degree. The mkmovie script works with the editlist which can
be set in mythtv. End result: Chop out the commercials in mythtv, and
this script chops them out when re-encoding.

It can be done, but I've not seriously considered it yet. Wouldn't be a
bad idea, though.

Well, technically, adding a new table modifies the database schema, but
I can see a need/desire to put it in separately. I think I'll make that
one of my todo items.
So, I have to ask if anybody's using these scripts yet? I'd really like
to hear any feedback that people have.
