[mythtv-users] What happened to Lossless Transcoding for Cut Lists?

[mythtv at kosowsky.org]

I recently upgraded from a very old MythTV to 0.29.1

Before when creating transcoding profiles, there was a "tickbox" to
allow for lossless compression which was very useful for re-stitching
together the stream after cutting commercials without transcoding to a
new format.

I see that there are ways to create user jobs via scripts, but this is
much more complicated (and lest robust) than the built-in tickbox.

- Is there any reason the built-in lossless transcoding option was
  deleted?
- What is the simplest way to re-implement lossless transcoding post
  adding a cut list?
