MythTV can do advert detection and insert markers, and can then skip while watching with a simple button press. > Can delete chapters, divide titles, a-b erase from a title, sort title list, > capture part of a title or multiple titles for dubbing (HDD to/from DVD). > MythTV has built in editing for permanently cutting ads, or fixing errors in the autodetection.

The DVD standards are well documented. I could summarise, but its better just to give you the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd_video Traditionally digital TV has been MPEG-2 in an MPEG-TS container, so its very very easy to convert it to a form that can be put on a DVD and played in a commmercial set top player. Newer digital TV systems (such as terrestrial freeview) are using more advanced codecs that are not compatible with set top box DVD players. Sorry I can't help with the ride.
