I think i've accurately set up lossless transcoding (only cutting commercials) for my recordings. I begin a transcode, after importing the commercial cutpoints, by pressing 'x' during playback. The transcod begins, but seems to die somewhere in the middle, not really at a cutpoint, leaving the partially transcoded file with a .tmp extension left on disk. Multiple transcode attempts seem to die at the same point. Here is the relevant part of /var/log/mythbackend.log. I do have some-what corrupted streams, perhaps mythtranscode gets a frame it can't handle and dies?
