2) I have a HD-PVR, and it makes great recordings, but mythtranscode<br>
doesn't seem to be able to cut commercials out (and I tend to<br>
not use it because of that limitation). I've seen old (2009-ish)<br>
threads on doing this outside of myth, but it seems like this was<br>
dropped with a "we're working on a better way to do this." But,<br>
I haven't seen much on the better way.<br>
<br>
What's the status on this? When I try to just transcode for<br>
commercial removal like I would with a Nupplevideo, it fails<br>
with a "Couldn't find profile for : H.264", and I was unable<br>
to create such a profile.<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes, some work was done on this last June by Paul Gardiner and JYA. See:</div><div><ul><li>thread <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/482116">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/482116</a></li>
