They could be mpeg-TS (transport streams), which maybe WMP can't 
recognize.  have you tried running nuvinfo on the files?  It should list 
the stream type.

mpeg2cut isn't "mencoder"..  it falls into its own category, so shows up 
regardless of which export type you choose.

mpeg2cut isn't copying the mpeg streams, it's a lossless way to remove 
commercials.
