I am using Mythbunt 9.10, upgraded to Myth 0.23-fixes. I have a recording and have defined a cutlist (removed commercials). I have then initiated a transcode, so that when I view the recording in MythTV, the commercials are not shown. The recording has a picture of scissors in the recordings listing (so I guess this means there's a cutlist and has been transcoded). Question: As per the last line here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Creating_a_cutlist are the commercials (or cuts) supposed to be permanently removed after the transcode? If I then use MythArchive to export to a file, there is no menu option select/toggle the cutlist for the recording. I hit M for the menu and all I see is Clear All, Select All and Cancel on the Select Recordings screen and Remove Item and Cancel on the Select Archive Items screen. I'm told on the forums that hitting C (TOGGLECUT) should include the cutlist but does not. Question: When I use MythArchive to export to a file AND use the cutlist, is the exported file supposed to be cut or should I get the original file and an XML file? If the latter then how do I do the cut (outside of MythTV presumably)? Thanks in advance.",defect,closed,minor,0.23-fixes,Plugin - MythArchive,0.23-fixes,low,invalid,,,1
