I am using the following process for achieving the same as you want: 1. capture into mpeg2 using PVR250 at 6000kbps 2. myth automatically runs commercial detection 3. I open video in myth player and press "E" then "Z" which starts editing and loads detected commercials 4. I review commercial cuts and change if needed 5. encode using nuvtranscode into DVD or whatever
I always have perfect sync and also encoding offline is always much better then hardware encoder of PVR250: I can fit about 5 hours of video on DVD with decent quality. I was using dumb AVI card before but I had a lot of problems with sync so PVR250 is the way to go.
