I think if you transcode the file it will cut according to the cutlist, and you end up with the cut and advert-less transcoded file. It'll probably be transcoded to a more manageable file with a tighter codec like mpeg-4. However if you don't want to transcode: The internal video player in mythvideo is actually external - mplayer or whatever you configure it to be. mplayer will certainly play nuv files as created by tv recording in mplayer. it will also skip using edit decision lists: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html now mythtv seems to store it's edl's in the database as frame numbers instead of seconds, but the conversion is pretty simple (but dependent on PAL vs NTCS frame rates.) So you could pretty simply make a script to creat an mplayer edl list from the frame numbers in the database and export it to the mythvideo directory along with the nuv file. I would name it the same as the nuv file with an additional sufix of .edl and call mplayer with the normal parameters plus "-edl %s.edl" I haven't tried this, but might do so tonight.
