[mythtv-users] Question about transcoding to MPEG4

[Aaron Frerichs]

If you view the transcoded file, hit "e" for edit and
then "z" to load the commercial cutlist, do you get
commercial cuts loaded?  It may be that the
transcoding process removes the commercial flags.  I
think the mythcommflag program can re-generate that
for you.
