[mythtv-users] OT: Avidemux2 2.36

[Harvard Pan]

Mario,

I'm attaching a copy of my mpeg2cut. It may be an old version since I
haven't checked for anything new since I got it working. I guess i
should have commented my code a little more. I just took a look and
it's probably impossible to figure out what parameters to pass it :)

Let me know if you need any help getting it working and I can try to
comment it better or something.
