[mythtv-users] Auto generate a cutlist?

[rod]

I was thinking mythcommflag from the command line looked promising:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcommflag

with the switch:
--setcutlist CUTLIST         Set a new cutlist.  CUTLIST is of the form:
                             #-#[,#-#]...  (ie, 1-100,1520-3012,4091-5094)


Are the number in the explanation frames?  It would be nice to now how
many frames the entire program has so I could back off the correct
amount (from the end).  In my particular case it won't matter, all the
shows should have a very similar total frame count.

. . . or maybe the numbers are seconds?



I may look into what is contain in the mysql tables.
