Ian,
     I am glad that you got past the initial set up test. If you have a 
MythTV wiki account please update the wiki for me. I was going to do 
that myself but as I am not able to test the statement I am not sure if 
I would muck it up.

As the first user gave me an explicitcommand line I added what he gave 
me. Now I am a bit confused do I need to add a line speifically for 
Mythbuntu backend users? While still keeping what the other user gave me 
something like:

========
If you run a Mythbuntu MythTV backend under an account like "mythtv" 
then run the following to avoid permission issues with the workpath 
and/or configuration file:
  sudo -Hmythtv ./lossless_cut.py -f "/path to a/recorded.mpg" --test

If you run your MythTV backend under an account like "abcmythtv" then 
run the following to avoid permission issues with the workpath and/or 
configuration file:
  sudo -uabcmythtv ./lossless_cut.py -f "/path to a/recorded.mpg" --test

Otherwise run the following command in a terminal session.
  ./lossless_cut.py -f "/path to a/recorded.mpg" --test
This command will verify that your MythTV backend has all the required 
prerequisites. Running this test will also automatically create the 
Lossless Cut configuration file "~/.mythtv/lossless_cut.cfg".<BR>
========

Or can the statements be merged?

Thanks

Doug
