[mythtv-users] Editing out commercials

[Robert Kulagowski]

Sounds like you may be going about it the hard way.  What I do is let 
myth record the program and mark the commercials.  I then go back into 
the program and hit "E" to get into edit mode.  I import the commercials 
(press "Z") then use page up and page down to jump to the cut points and 
make sure that the commercial in and out points are set.

Hit "E" to exit the edit mode, then ESC to exit the program.  Crank up 
mkmovie (http://www.icelus.org/), assign a filename and that's it - 
MPEG-2 file with commercials cut out.
