Pulling the little hair I've got left...

Using donor comskip to create an edl file from a HD-PVR created ts/tp file.

I then use - er, try to use - mencoder to use the edl file to cut the commercials and leave me with a file that is a copy of the audio and video, just sans commercials.

I use this cl:

mencoder %1 -edl "%1.edl" -oac copy -ovc copy -o %1.cut.ts

BUT I get either "too many video packets in buffer" or if I run vlc and pic the video and audio pid's out and enter them, I get no video and only audio.

No I KNOW this is almost idiot proof, but this almost idiot is goin' crazy.

Any ideas?

FWIW, the video plays fine in all players.
