That is a horrible idea.  Content with commercials should never be 
inserted into MythVideo, such that they would need to be commercial 
flagged.  You just happen to be in a small minority of users wanting to 
export content to MythVideo, incapable of performing lossless clipping 
within mythtranscode, and unwilling to find another program capable of 
doing so.  Better options would be...

1.  Find a program capable of doing these cuts.  This link 
(http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1115556) gives a 
couple programs that should work.  I've heard mixed opinions on whether 
avidemux is capable of handling
2.  Use tickets #6158 or #6680 instead of manually copying these 
recordings over.  Update them to pull the existing commflag.  No sense 
running a task that may take an hour or more to do when it has already 
been done.
3.  Patch the existing mythtranscode so it can do clipping of h264.
