Often commercials here in the us will have no closed captions at all. This would be an easy way to find the commercials.

While I do think the developers have been doing a fabulous job with what we now have for commercial detection, there are still times when breaks don't get flagged.

I recall hearing many years ago that the VBI data sent by many channels will change somehow when commercials are being broadcast. I think it had something to do with timecode being present in the programs, but not the commercials.

Of course, this is all very vague, and I wouldn't have the first idea of where to look to figure out if this is feasible. I'm just proposing this as another possible idea for the clever folks who came up with the current commercial detection code.
