This never worked for me and in my opinion this actually it works against
you. The problem is that mythtranscode creates audio video sync problems. A
few months ago (just before the release of 0.20) I filed a bug report that
each commercial cut caused av sync problems. The bug was verified and a
patch was made to mythreplex that attempts to fix the damage that
mythtranscode has done. The problem is that this fix does not always work so
I use projectX to cut my recordings and I have modified the main script to
use projectx to do the demux instead of mythtranscode. For me this never
fails but it adds a few other steps to the process.
