MythTV can do advert detection and insert markers, and can then skip
while watching with a simple button press.

MythTV has built in editing for permanently cutting ads, or fixing
errors in the autodetection. It can also archive to DVD.

wikipedia has this information as do innumerable sites on the net. 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.
