I am currently using Com Skip and with the Sage TV plugin and it works GREAT!
SageTV and my MVP skip the commercials like a charm... Unfortunately, I am starting to archive my TV into Divx, but I need to delete the commercials before I archive them. I tried using com cleaner and it spliced out the commercials, but no player could play the files they were corrupted to all my players... What can I use that will automatically strip the commercials, and that would work with DirMon so I can do just do it in on my media machine in my down time. Looking for Advice |

As for the second, I went to that page after looking at the customizations page, but it said that second link is for Version 6. I am running Version 5, and not a big fan of non-release versions, (yes I know RC = release candidate) I guess I can just wait for the coveted version 6. Any other suggestions for Version 5? |

Ok, it looks like they combined the 2 threads, the 1 first one was the original, and the second was just an update. They got merged.
Any more info that that, sorry. I don't do commercial detection and anything I really want to archive without commercials, I do manually. I used VideoRedo to cut out the commercials and then convert to xvid manually.

Eventually I'll also get around to configuring it to run with Dirmon2 automatically. Last edited by roxy99; 12-12-2006 at 01:50 PM. |

I tried a lot of different programs and none of them consistently produced files that would play back properly. I finally tried video redo. Great program (http://www.videoredo.com/). Show Analyzer will generate vprj files. Configure windows to open them with video redo and it takes a while minute or 2 to review the commercial skips (using tab, shift-tab to jump between commercials and shift-arrow to move back and forth a second to make sure you're at a commerical). You can easily adjust for the occasional SA mistakes and save the cut file. Has worked every time for me and I've done a whole lot of files since getting it. The only drawback that I've found so far -- it's not free <sigh>.

VideoRedo is not free and doesn't encode to Divx. Try Evilpenguin's or roxy99's batch file first since you have nothing to loose.

Unfortunantly Evilpenguin's mod does not work with digital tv nor does Scoful's Minirecode. Im not sure about Roxy's batch file tool, but I doubt it.
Ive only had succes with digital tv after first running it thru Videoredo. The occasional file would go thru Divx ok w/o it but not on a regular basis. After doing some testing with mencoder ive discovered digital TV seems to go thru it ok with no pre-processing. However edl cuts dont work. FFmpeg just screws the file up. Im working on a plugin that will work with digital tv. It will require VideoRedo to be installed, howver you will never need to open it. Ive pretty much got the java code down (this writes the batch file). But ive never done an STVi so that may take a long long while. Note: The plugin will use Comskip/SA edl files for commercial removal, not Videoredo (thats only for a stream fix). Last edited by lobosrul; 12-13-2006 at 12:03 PM. |

I don't know what you mean by 'digital tv' but its all analog once passes through S-Video or composite. It becomes digital after the video capture card re-converts it to an mpeg2 stream. I can assure you that thats standard fare. FYI-- I did this batch file for myself and decided to share with you all. I use it all the time myself. EvilPenguins works too I'm sure or he/she would'nt take the time to do all that. Last edited by roxy99; 12-13-2006 at 03:16 PM. |

Actually, he's right, my tool doesn't work for any mpeg-ts (HDTV or pre-encoded SDTV) files right now, at least the compressing doesn't. The DVD creation still works fine though.
