Chris,
I thought it got stuck at Finding Logo.  I ran it again and it finnished the
commercial flag job.  However, it seems the skip points are off by a few
seconds.   Can you give me an insight as to what is happening with the
transcoded file.  Is mythcommflag not finding the keyframes  when I rebuild
the seek table after transcode?  If I understand correctly, there is no
distortion when seeking in the original mpg file because seek points, edit
points or commercial flag points are at keyframes.
Thanks,
Chris
