[mythtv-users] How to transcode+cut commercials 100% lossless

Okay I'm getting some wierd stuff happening. For some of my recordings, the
Job Queue winds up with successfull completion, but on others it is giving
me an error that it can't find the executable (the script).

I have the file in /usr/bin, permissions are right:

~ # ls -laF /usr/bin/ | grep removecommercials
-rwxr-xr-x  1 bobby2 bobby2     2100 2008-08-08 20:51 removecommercials*
-rw-r--r--  1 bobby2 bobby2     5641 2008-08-08 20:47 removecommercials~

This is from /var/log/mythbackend.log:

2008-08-08 20:54:17.701 JobQueue Error: User Job 'removecommercials
/media/mythtv Licence to Grill- Skateboard Dude Party- Maple mustard pork
burgers; chicken smoked pizza; corn on the cob with chili
butter.-07.10.08.mpg' failed, unable to find executable, check your PATH and
backend logs.
2008-08-08 20:54:17.790 JobQueue: Current PATH:
'/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin'
(END) "

Here's my path from /etc/profile:

export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin


I'm kind of intermediate at best with linux so hopefully someone can clarify
what I've done wrong or am missing here?? My job in mythtv-setup is still:

removecommercials %DIR% %FILE%


Now not only this, but on the recordings that ran the job successfully there
is no difference; nothing has been cut. I'm using the entire script from the
Talk page as advised by Boleslaw. Is my Job command above incorrect for this
version of the script?? This is puzzilng :(

Thanks for any help,
Bob
