I believe it uses the Myth cutlist but not the automatically generated
commercial skip cutlists because they aren't 100% perfect (and may never
be).  So if you want to use the built-in transcoding, turn automatic
transcoding off, then go in and edit a recording that you want to transcode.
Hit 'Z' to copy the commercial skip list into the cutlist then check the
cuts to see if they're accurate.  Then you can run mythtranscode manually
to transcode that show using the commercial skip list (which is now in
the cutlist).
