Thanks.  I'm happy to leave them in the videos area - this command would not 
be able to work out their correct names would it?

Done that, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference, I still get no 
seektable if I try and edit.

I wrote a script to do the commflag:

#!/bin/sh
# script to commflag all videos

filelist=`ls *.mpg`
for i in $filelist
do
  echo $i
  mythcommflag --video $i
done

which outputs stuff like this a lot:

1001_20071218162000.mpg
2008-04-10 15:16:24.754 Using runtime prefix = /usr, libdir = /usr/lib

But it didn't seem to make a difference.

Any ideas?
