Comment:

 After lots of investigation, yes I misunderstood the MythArchive system.

 My expectation now is that if I have a recording, create a manual cutlist
 (and then an auto transcode takes place)...shouldn't the recording be
 permanently changed so that the cut out bits are really cut out (and the
 recording is a smaller file)?  If so, then if I export to a file using
 MythArchive, the exported file will be the same as the permanently cut
 recording?

 Otherwise, how do I take a recording with a cutlist, permanently remove
 the cuts and then have a copy of that file?  I just want an MPG (or any
 video/audio format) that has the parts removed as per the cutlist I
 create.  Using the frontend or via a terminal is fine...just I cannot seem
 to get a definitive answer from the forums!  Everyone is helpful mind
 you...just ambiguous and unsure!
