Just guessing, but he probably first went to 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ and did a search for 
"mythtranscode buildindex" (no quotes) and dug through all the posts to 
find the right args.

Then again, maybe he saw in his log files the nice, helpful message:

GetScreenGrabAtFrame: Recording does not have position map so we will be 
unable to grab the desired frame.
Run 'mythcommflag --file <filename> --rebuild' to fix.
If that does not work and this is a .mpg file, try 'mythtranscode 
--mpeg2 --buildindex --allkeys -c <chanid> -s <starttime>'.
