I've been working with Christopher Meredith on using this script with 
trunk and  it looks as if we have a working version.  He needed to 
convert it for recordings having ac3 sound instead of the mp2 that I 
get, and to remove the inversion logic needed to convert from the 
original MythTV cutlist to Project-X.  See this thread for details:

Some of the explanatory comments in the script are incorrect for trunk, 
too.  They apply to the original MythTV configuration.
