<pre wrap="">hey all,
Now that's I've switched up to 0.28 and am back on OTA having cut the comcast cord, I'd like to start archiving movies I record on some of the "flash-back" stations.
Don't laugh - but I've been a pretty light user of some of the really cool features of Myth over the last 17years I've used it -- BUT....
here we go...
So -- after reading the MythTV Wiki on user jobs and looking at some of the scripts people have written...
I thought I'd get some feedback as to any additional things I could do or make sure to avoid when setting up these user jobs.
Can auto-cut be trusted or should user review of commercial marks be a "must do"?
Can transcode always be trusted or, again, should review of a copy be done?
Also, any particular transcode settings that are best for HD vs SD (a lot of the classic movies are being shown in SD, but I also like keeping my episodes of NOVA and other neato PBS stuff in HD)
There's reading the Wiki -- and then there's "in practice" -- I'd like to hear some opinions.
Thanks a bunch,
-Ben

I do exactly what you described you want to do. You can't trust the commercial breaks completely but they are a big help. I have learned to use mythfrontend to edit and check the commercials quickly and adjust them appropriately.
