I agree. Besides doing the cut using lossless transcoding should
increase the speed.
The script i used can be setup as job within myth therefore you can
still do it with the remote. The problem is that it fails once in a
while so it is safer to create another directory to send the processed
files and that is an step I do not like. 

I will keep working and hope we can have mytharchive working as well as
it did with analog
