Thank you for the clarification, makes sense.
I am working on your suggestion, and trying to come up with a method that does not involve unnecessary conversions. So here is the overview:
1) Convert from WTV to TS
2) Detect commercials (generate .edl file)
3) Extract subtitles (generate .srt file)
4) Convert from TS to MP4 using ffmpeg with the subtitles option (done via .bat script)
5) Cut commercials using .edl file and mp4box
So it seems that I just need to replace the conversion section in the profiles with the bat file. I used the new section for custom commands (PreCommercialRemovalCustomCommand) to launch my bat file, which did step 4 above correctly. In the order= section for the profile, I made it blank, as I did not want any conversion to happen. This caused an error of "unsupported converter". I then tried using the mp4 unprocessed settings, which do work, but it is unnecessary step I think, right?
