Good question. Back a few pages, I asked if you had any idea why the playback in XBMC was skipping commercials in the wrong places. You explained that it was due to XBMC assuming a constant framerate, and gave me a workaround:

The patch is to have MythTV transcode every file. This creates a fixed framerate for every show. This should be done before mythicalLibrarian runs. So, set MythTV to run only 1 job at a time. Set MythTV to do MythTranscode job, select MythCommFlag checkbox, and have mythicalLibrarian run last.
Because I have a bunch of already-mythicalLibrarian-processed recordings in my library, you later suggested that I --undo those, then transcode them using myth, then run mythicalLibrarian --scan to get the transcoded files into my XBMC library.
Thus, the script is designed to automate the process of transcoding my existing mythtv recordings. My hope is that, per your suggested "patch" comment quoted above, that this will let me watch my recordings in XBMC with the commercials skipped appropriately.
...am I making any sense? or have I misunderstood your earlier suggestions and gone off in the wrong direction?
