Thanks for the pointers - right now I'm trying to figure out how to get 
 the commercial-detection information out of the DB, so I can then use 
 that to make chapter markers in MKV.

(I am not watching the recordings via Myth, as that machine is nowhere 
 near my nice&big TV-set; I use a different media player (Xtreamer) for
 playback and want chapter markers at start/end of the commercials so I
 can easily skip around. I don't trust mythcommflag enough to actually 
 cut the commercials (yet).)

cheers,
&rw
