Actually, what I'm trying to do is get a cutlist for loading into 
ProjectX.  It really isn't a full automation per-se, but at least a 
starting point for commercial detection.  I can review it, and change 
it, in ProjectX then demux my file and transcode it after that.  My 
source is from pcHDTV so I need ProjectX to extract the MPEG2 and AC3 
from the MPEG-TS (Transport Stream).
