Hi:  First - two related posts from you have appeared, but aren't 
threaded.  I guess that's because gmail doesn't show you your own posts.

Any script doing what you want will have to use several tools, and a 
failure in any of them will make the entire thing 'fail to work.'
To get help you'll need to give more details of how it's failing.

I don't see a command in your script that will run commflag before 
attempting to generate a cutlist from the results.  You'll have to 
ensure that commflagging has been done first, and that you trust the 
results.

I can't comment on the HandBrake commands (I've never used it), or the 
way the commands are passed to MySQL.
