I still can't get Myth to do it properly, but I used your CL and it looked to complete, I reran mythcommflag --rebuild on the new file and it doesn't seem to like to be played back, the screen is all white and it just sits there. If I try and play it back in mplayer it looks like the first few frames are all screwed up and that the cut occured in the wrong place.... -- Steve _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
