OK I found the Secret Sauce
mythtranscode --infile /storage2/recordings/4093_20160403201000.mpg --mpeg2
--honorcutlist "18778-35040" --outfile "/storage2/recordings/test2.mpg"

mythtranscode --infile /storage2/recordings/4093_20160403201000.mpg --mpeg2
--honorcutlist "18778-35040" --inversecut --outfile "/storage2/recordings/
test3.mpg"

looks like it requires the dash between the external cutlist I thought from
what I read it needed to be a space.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Cheers,

Anthony
