Initial testing looks good - a newly recorded show has the correct
length. I'm waiting for mythcommflag to complete to see if the
commercial skip is good. Neither mythcommflag or mythtranscode will
recordings that are already bad, but I honestly don't care. I'll keep
testing and make sure that things are working well.

Unfortunately the h264/OSD glitches are not fixed, but I think that's
more of a VDPAU issue than anything else - I'm probably pushing my
8200IGP to the limit and it can't keep up. I'll look into getting a
fanless 9500 or 9600.
