[mythtv-users] Removing commercials

[P.J. Trudell]

I have been running mythbuntu 8.10 for about 6 months and I am trying to delete commercials now.

I have tried to do it by setting cutlists in mythtv edit mode and then running transcode in myth and I get a transcode error with no error codes.

I have tried doing it by setting cutlists in mythtv edit mode and then running mythtranscode from the command line both with the -i option and the -c and -s options see commands below.  The result is an aditional file *.mpg.tmp of almost the same size but it does not remove anything.

(mythtranscode --honorcutlist --mpeg -i 1299_20090407113000.mpeg)
(mythtranscode --honorcutlist --mpeg -c 1299 -s 2009-04-07-11-30-00)

My final goals are
1.  Flag commericials automatically (currently working) 
2.  Have the comerical flagging create cutlists cutlists 
3.  Beable to add more cutpoints in addition to the commericials that are flagged.
4.  Create new files without commericials for use outside of Mythtv.
5.  Create new files without ccommericals for use inside of mythtv (to save space)

Can someone point me into the right direction.  I dont mind a script or command lines I can make into a script.  Eventually I want to make them all into user jobs or automatic scripts.

Thanks in advance.

P.J.
