(Sorry if threading gets broken, as I got this message in "digest mode"
...  maybe that's a bad idea?)

The projectx and h.264 conclusion was from a google search for "projectx
h264", which gives:
http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-119332.html
	"ProjectX for demuxing for demuxing h.264 ts streams seems to be a good
choice, because also the audio is now perfect."

The official ProjectX site indicates otherwise, though:
http://project-x.sourceforge.net/
	"At the moment, Project-X does not include support for H.264 (HD video)
content."

I suppose that I need to do a better job of finding authoritative
sources for information rather than relying on google!  :)

I came across the script hdpvr_lossless_cut.sh which looks like it may
work for manually cutting commercials, producing an MKV file output.
Doe anybody have any experience (good or bad) with this?
