Very true and very important.

Almost. The "--video" option is meant only for use with non-recordings
(i.e. AVI's and other junk).
Instead, you should run "mythcommflag --rebuild" with the appropriate
options to choose the recording. Once done--if desired--you may flag
commercials by re-running the same command /without/ the "--rebuild"
option. Note that if you want to flag commercials, you should first do
a "--rebuild" run to make sure the seektable is good (i.e. don't run
without "--rebuild" first thinking that will do both).
