[mythtv-users] How to transcode HD recording

When I want to keep a TV recording I usually create a cut list to remove adverts and manually transcode on 'High Quality' (lossless, no resize) to remove them. It works fine, except on a couple of HD recordings I have. The cut list saves and the recordings playback without the adverts but transcode does not actually remove them. 
It appears to run, but finishes quite quickly and the cut list is still there.
Some info from backend log is below.....22200_20140102225400.mpg is the file of the recording I'm trying to transcode. 
Not sure where it's looking for the tmp file, but my tmp folder and var/tmp folder have enough room for a 13GB file...
I've seen other posts about a similar error, but not any solutions, so thanks for any help!
