Got it - so if not explicitly loading the flagged commercials, the
transcoder just transcodes the entire show.
I watched "24" after commercial flagging was complete. I have myth set
so that it just pops up a box when a commercial is detected, then I
press the button to skip the commercial. At one point when I pressed
the button it skipped ahead 9 minutes. There was a thread about this a
few weeks ago - most people said the flagging works around 90% of the
time. That's pretty good, IMO.

Ok, I'll check that out. Thanks!
