As per the subject, i'm looking for the best software package (better if
freeware) to edit out comercials using a windows xp computer. I want to
keep the files in mpeg2 so that i can burn them to dvd after, just without
the comercials. I've looked around and found quite a few but all of them
seem to have conflicting reviews some recomended others say to keep away.
So any suggestions are welcome.
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.

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.
Perhaps you have never edited a recording in MythTV. Watch something,
click M or MENU to bring up then menu and select Edit Recording. You
can load your commercial skip list into the cutlist by pressing Z I think.
Does Myth do lossless MPEG2 cutting? I thought it could only export into MPEG4.
Myth doesn't do any cutting internally. It relies on outside tools to
edit the video using the cutlist.
