I use getcustlist to get the cut list:  mythcommflag --getcutlist -f 
/video/2054_20100124170000.mpg

with the output of:  Cutlist: 
0-163,9630-18820,28905-37340,50045-58484,74368-82668

I then pass it to mythtranscode as: --honorcutlist "0-163 9630-18820 
28905-37340 50045-58484 74368-82668" replacing the commas with spaces.
