Bob,
     A MythTV recording should always have a pair of records "recorded" 
and "recordedprogram". For Lossless Cut to collect the most accurate 
metadate about the recording both record pairs must be present. I do not 
know of any circumstance where a MythTV recording only adds the 
"recorded" record without its "recordedprogram" pair. That seems to be 
an error of some kind outside of anything Lossless Cut is involved with.

At the time Lossless Cut was developed MythTV did not have a reliable 
solution for x264 encoded recordings such as those produced by the 
Hauppauge HD-PVR. I could not tell you if recent changes to MythTV have 
addressed the original issues with X264 encoded videos.

Lossless Cut provides integration between MythTV's native editing and 
cut lists and the mkvmerge utility. The limits of Lossless Cut are 
coupled with those of mkvmerge. As the Lossless Cut web page indicates 
not all recording device's videos are supported.

I still use Lossless Cut everyday as I have an HD-PVR and it works very 
well for my purposes. As suggested by the quoted post you may find 
alternate solutions work better for you.
