I believe the only change to the mytharchive script was to remove the
--fix-sync option. I have posted my script that does the commercial
cutting a few weeks back on the list. If you can not  find it please
contact me and I will try to find it in my mail account as I am at
work and as a result of some hardware failure I can not ssh into my
home network...

The script is pxcut.sh. It needs to be edited and all instances of
jmd0 need to be replaced with the name of your master backend machine.
Also paths need to be updated to match your setup.

Now what I do is I first go in mythtv. View the show and press E to
edit then I hit page-down (I believe) to turn on the commflag cuts.
Then I edit these for each show that I want to cut. Then I exit
mythfrontend and do a

ls *<something showspecific>.mpg | xargs -n1 -i sh pxcut.sh {}

Then this cuts all the shows that I had selected in the ls command
renaming the originals to filename.mpg.old.

Then after that I run mytharchive for the shows I cut. I usually do
this days after I did the cut.. This proceedure has only failed on 1
dvd for me and I have made > 100 with mytharchive.
