Unfortunately, the script is too smart - it deletes temp files when it
exits, so there's nothing left to look at when it errors out. That's
ok, though, it never got to that point

This is the error here:

2008-03-07 06:39:04.787 Transcode: Using autodetect profile: MPEG2
2008-03-07 06:39:04.788 No video information found!
2008-03-07 06:39:04.788 Please ensure that recording profiles for the
transcoder are set

You have to go into the myth setup and edit the recording profile. I
don't think you actually have to make any changes to it, you just have
to save it. Not sure why that is. That's mythtranscode that's dying
out there, not the script. The script just doesn't do a great job
handling failures, yet.

But yeah, as you found, if you disable the commercial cutting it
should work again.
