Thanks again Mike you have really helped this newbie get his first box
running.

After re-looking at thwarting backend settings, I already have it set to run
transcoding jobs first. I checked the backend logs and the commercial
detection is running first anyway, so I assume that setting just does not
apply if you are transcoding with a user job.  Is that correct?

I assume I need to add a second user job to run the commercial flagging
afterwards.

Does that sound like I'm on the right track?

Thanks again for the help.
