I did the audio part in python and selected the first audio stream only.
However
currently the cutting I do as an external bash script. I have written a
script that I can run
in a batch to cut the commercials from a group of files at once. The script
rebuilds the seek
table for each file and updates that mythdatabase for the new size of the
file and also removes
the commercial cutlist from myth and renames the old file to .old. This way
I can watch the
cut shows in front end and then when I want eventually I can run mytharchive
on them and
burn them to dvd+rw.
