First, run mythcommflag on them to flag commericals. Then run
mythcommflag again with the --gencutlist (check --help for syntax and
you may be able to combine these two steps into one) option which will
turn the flagged commercials into a cutlist. You can also create the
cutlist in the mythfronend by editing the recording while watching it
and inserting your own cutpoints.
Then, run mythtranscode using the lossless command-line option and tell
it to use a cutlist (see --help for options) and it will create the
MPEG-2 file without commercials without re-encoding.
