Now that I am past the first problem, Mencoder seems to be having another. When I run it as you suggest with "-of mpeg -mpegopts muxrate=36000" it seems to get stuck on my Clear QAM MPEG2 files and creates a strange "cut" file of around 120 MB, which has the first 30-40 seconds of the show. If I run it with the "-of rawvideo" option, it cuts the commercials out just fine, but Handbrake doesn't like the resulting cut file and give a "no titles found" error. Any ideas on that one? Thanks!

Any ideas on that one?

I pasted your ArgumentsCOntext exactly. However, the quotes you used somehow did not paste into standard quotes for me, so mencoder choked on them (" - works “ - caused problem) Figured it out just after posting.

Thanks so much for publishing this. It has brought me very close to getting what I have been looking for for a long time. But I am having one major problem. The mencoder external process will not work. I have spent hours trying to figure out what is going on and seem to have narrowed it down. Its doesn't seem to like the variables being passed to it for some reason (Handbrake has no problem). If I do some tests and put literals in the ArgumentsContext for the mencoder process, it runs fine. Obviously I can't do that because I want to do this whole thing automatically with fileWatcher. Did you ever come accross this problem. I made sure I was running it with the "NoStatus" option as you recommended. Thanks! Wow. Thanks so much for publishing this.
