I suppose you could, but wouldn't it be more time efficient to:
1) mythcommflag to generate skiplist and cutlist
2) mythtranscode -l to only remove the commercials
3) x264_transcode_high.pl to do the time-intensive transcode on the smaller
file

this is what I do. I have changed the executable of mythcommflag to a
wrapper that runs mythcommflag twice, once to generate the skiplist, and
again to copy the skiplist to a cutlist. I have my automatic jobs set up so
that commflag runs durring the recording, and then transcode runs after
commercial flagging is finished.
