Hi: I saw an earlier very similar post from you about this, although
they don't appear in the same thread in my reader. I'm not clear why
you would want to do this if you are getting the cutlist from
mythcommflag, because mythtranscode --honorcutlist ought to use the
internal cutlist as default anyway. Is it just an example or do you
actually use it like this? - and if so, why? Just curious.
