Thanks, Mike. I missed the MPEG2 part of that wiki entry.
The odd thing is that my rebuild did *something* - the shows that were
unwatchable before are at least watchable now.

--all does not work for seektable rebuilds (at least not in 0.21-fixes; it's
"supposed to" in trunk, but I've never tested). So, you actually just
scanned for commercials on every single recording.
Also, in 0.21-fixes, mythcommflag --rebuild does not work for (nearly all)
MPEG-2. You need to use mythtranscode --buildindex.
You need to run the command on every single recording individually. Note,
also, that --queue does not work with --rebuild. Therefore, run a script...

cd /path/to/first/recordings/directory
for file in *; do
mythtranscode --mpeg2 --buildindex --allkeys \
--showprogress --infile $file
done
cd /path/to/next/recordings/directory
(and so on)
And, far more importantly:
