[mythtv-users] dvd respecting cutlist

[Cory Papenfuss]

 	I would be very interested to see the code.  I posted my code for batch 
processing MPEG .nuv files a week or so ago, but I still have to use avidemux's 
GUI to find the commercials.  Interfacing/exporting mythtv cutlists would be a 
great addition.
