I'm not sure if you're talking about SD or HD video. But, for HD, there is a good utility called HDTVtoMPEG2, which allows you to edit HDTV transport streams to remove commercials or otherwise trim them down. http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~balazer/HDTVtoMPEG2/ It has a nice visual representation of the MPEG content, showing the data as a bar, with the portions to be removed shown in a different color than the remaining data. This provides a quick sanity check on the commercial removal -- if two removals are too close or too far apart it may point to an error or a missed commercial. This would be a great feature to have with the MythTV automatic commercial flagging. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
