I asked that here:

http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7533&highlight=blank+frame+detection

...and didn't get any response.  I don't understand that statement
either, and I can't believe it's correct, unless this is something
that is/was true of analog recordings.  I do commercial flagging on my
recordings (all DVB)...some while they're recording and others that I
queue up during the night with a cron script, and I'm sure they're all
using the "all methods" that I've chosen.

Regardless of when it's run the process should be identical...decode then flag.
