[mythtv-users] Transcoding to remove commercials in MPEG2 broke

[James Armstrong]

Is there any way to transcode a mpeg2 nuv file to remove the commercials 
without going to mpeg4 then back to mpeg2? I thought there was a setting 
in the transcoders that used to allow an mpeg2 source to be transcoded 
to an mpeg2 format just to remove the commercials or lower the bitrate 
some. If I edit the 'From MPEG2' transcoder my only option is to RTJPeg 
and MPEG4. I want a file that I can burn on dvd without having to 
transcode again to mpeg2. Am I missing something? Running cvs as of 
yesterday.

Another thing, I have commercial flagging turned off because I had some 
problems and wanted to see if that was the issue. I marked one for 
commercial flagging lastnight and it finished within 10 minutes. I went 
ahead and marked three others for flagging and they never finished. If I 
try to select 'Stop Commercial Flagging' from the Watch Recordings 
screen it does nothing and stays at flagging. I let it run overnight and 
tried to manually transcode using mythtranscode ... -l and it said the 
file was in the process of being flagged and stopped. If I remove the -l 
it worked (but is in the mpeg4 format).
