I hate to say it but I've had a failure now (lossless mythtranscode to 
remove commercials then post-process with Handbrake). Severe audio / 
video out of sync (1sec) and a log full of errors similar to what I've 
seen previously (ie "write_section_data: PID 0x192 CRC error" and "start 
time is not set in estimate_timings_from_pts" for example). Link to log 
file -> 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lhmb75x4ma51f9g/mtccen1099_20131105100000.log. 
Will re-run and see if result is consistent / repeatable.

If anyone identifies anything from the log file please let me know.
