Thanks. The strict code is too strict for some people, possibly because of
noisy TV signals or the fact that different analog capture cards will not
have the same exact output when converted to digital. I turned Strict on
myself as I think the original code worked better for me on a lot of shows
as well so I'll see if it helps in my case also.
The "strict" code definitely works better for me. Not 100% perfect, but I
doubt it can ever be 100%.
When it does make a mistake, it is the "right" kind. In other words it
shows a commercial, rather than skipping part of the show. After checking a
dozen shows, it only wanted to skip a small part of the show twice.
Great work. Thank you.
I agree, the strict option does help a lot. It's hard to be objective about it but it seems just about as good as it was when the ALL option was first introduced. I'm wondering if my picture is confusing it. My cable box produces light and dark lines that scroll up the picture constantly. Very subtle, but it might confuse the commercial scanner.
