Instead of replying to a bunch of posts from this thread, I'm replying
to a couple things in this post.

There is an undocumented setting that's been in the commercial detection
code for a while called CommBorder.  It was originally set at 10, but
I bumped it up to 20 with my latest commit.  This setting controls the
border around the video frame that is ignored by the commercial detection
code for blank-frame, logo, and scene-change detection.

I also just committed some big changes to CVS reguarding commercial
detection.  I added a new "all" method that I'm hoping to get some
feedback on to see if it works better for people.  Full changes are
described in the commit log so I won't repeat them here.  Here's a link
to the log:
