That's a good question, and I was wondering that myself.  According to
the code, the percentage is calculated based on the number of frames
processed (i.e. current frame number / total frames).  This is for a
file that is already recorded, not a recording in progress.

For a recording in progress, the code seems to indicate that the start
time and stop time for a recording is used to calculate percentages.

So, when the commercial flagger says that it's at 30% for live
recording that's scheduled to run for 60 minutes, it means that it's
flagged up to the 18 minute mark so far (irregardless of what point
the recording itself is at).

Does this make sense?
