As explained by George, the commercial skip list generated by 
mythcommflag and the cut list used by mythtranscode are two separate 
things.  MythTV will not automatically apply one to the other, as the 
commercial detection in mythcommflag is not considered accurate enough 
to apply blindly.  You must go into edit mode during playback ('e' or 
context menu), and either manually define a cutlist from scratch, or 
load the skip list ('z' or context menu).
