http://www.mit.jyu.fi/~mweber/leffakone/software/mplayer/mplayer-commercial_removal.tar.gz It's still for MPlayer-1.0pre3, but it applies to pre4 almost properly (you have to patch manually the Makefile, IIRC). It has some flaws, that will be fixed in the dev version (ignoring the border of the picture, since there are sometimes artifacts, using the picture's PTS instead of the decoded_frame counter). > But it would be nice if they tell me when to start a recording. They would at best tell you when the ads before the show are starting :) Matthieu -- (~._.~) Matthieu Weber - Universit� de Jyv�skyl� (~._.~) ( ? ) email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( ? ) ()- -() public key id : 452AE0AD ()- -() (_)-(_) "Humor ist, wenn man trotzdem lacht (Germain Muller)" (_)-(_) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
