[mythtv-users] Commercial cutting & DVD burning

[Fa Yoeu]

I am using avidemux2 with nuvexport.  I am using it under X, but is is
fully automatic.


1.  In myth load up your cutlist.
2.  then launch nuvexport.
3.  choose mpeg2->mpeg2 (cutlist or commercial).
4.  Watch it.. it should run then launch avidemux2.
